I never had the chance to meet Panda, but from a lot of the posts that I have read so far about him and all of the kind words others have left about him he seemed like a genuinely good person to have met, became friends with and shared time with in his short life.

I know when we lose somebody in a wonderful community such as this or any community for that matter the lose of that person is felt throughout as a whole regardless if you had the chance to met that person or did not get the pleasure to know them while they were still here.

I'm actually tearing up just writing this because I know some of you out there had the chance to get to talk with Panda and form a friendship with him and what you all must be feeling inside.

I just want to wish him Godspeed and hope that he rests well now. Rest in peace Panda, you will be deeply missed by all but never forgotten!
