I met Osprey in my newbie days (thanks for the intro Tayzia!) and remember her as whimsical, fiercely independent, gentle yet opinionated, loyal and hard working. She was an excellent friend. Level headed. Reliable. A dry whit. All lovely virtues... but the best thing I can say about Osprey is that she squeezed every drop out of every day. </p>Doc Boffin commented on 'Friend Honors Virtual World Pioneer's Dying Request for Her Character to Live On as a Twitter Avatar'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01a3faafb0fb970b2013-12-18T18:50:35Z2013-12-18T18:50:35ZDoc Boffinhttp://jimpurbrick.comVivian was an amazing person.

<p>The day after that memorial, Osprey’s now fictional avatar character went through an unstable interdimensional portal in the Rodeo region to search for Salazar Jack. She was accompanied through the portal by two other Second Life residents, Fenix Eldritch and Gomi Mfume, and the event was witnessed by many friends and acquaintances:</p>
