They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

RIP Liberty

Today, I read the sad news that IAM member rebekahsXrevenge succumbed to her long time battle with cancer. I did not know her personally, but she meant a lot to several people  on here and she was a valued member of this community. From what I have read, she seemed like an amazing, strong and inspiring person that any of us would have been lucky to know.

She left behind her husband wmassXedge, as well as countless friends and family, please keep them all in your thoughts.

If anyone who knew her personally cares to share anything, please feel free to do so.

    Shoe, many people consider their dogs as part of their family and it does compair. I hardly saw that as a disrespectful comment.
    I didn’t know her, but my condolences go out to her family and friends.

    Liberty was the most beautiful person I have ever met inside and out. I feel sad for all of the people who did not have the fortune of knowing her. It is terribly painful for all of us who knew and loved her but in our sadness the beauty of who she is and all of our wonderful memories shall prevail. Her husband is a genuinely wonderful person and deserves all of our love and support. If I could be a 10th of the person she was I would feel blessed. She will be truly missed.

    I met Libby a few years back now. I had the pleasure of being pierced by her husband, and we only spoke a few words. But I knew the hardships she has faced in life. What a strong, kind, and beautiful young woman. My heart goes out to your loved ones.

    2010 has been a thug, swinging boots & elbows & it seems no one is escaping without a serious beating. I knew it would be a season of change, but didn’t know it would be so negative.

    Serious prayers & love to the family, mourn her well.
