While I mostly lurk, I always enjoyed reading CeeJay’s contributions, first in the Bal forum and more recently in the Harry & Meghan thread. Her posts were always cheerful, entertaining, and informative. I’m no Bal expert, but what I know I learned largely from her posts, and she’s a lot of the reason I now have a small Bal collection (including a “swamp thing” black/green City!). The outpouring of love here really is testament to her and her contributions to the Purseforum.

I've been debating whether I should add more to my original post as I do not wish to undermine anyone else's experiences but I feel heart broken over her sudden passing. I'm sure I am not alone in my grief. I don't know if this will be helpful right now but if anyone needs a safe place to share their grief my inbox is open. I have been on this forum as a lurker since around 2014. I absolutely adored Ceejays wit and the passion she posted with, alongside how much she adored the forum. Her willingness to share her expertise has transformed not only the Balenciaga subforum but The Purse Forum as a unit. Please take this as a gentle reminder to be kind to ourselves.
We build real connections here, everyone.
I have followed her posts since I joined tPF in 2006 - that's a long virtual relationship. This news has truly saddened me. She was such a great teacher of Balenciaga, as well as witty and an amazing collector. She will be missed. Condolences to her family.
I am so very sorry to be reading this. Condolences to her family.
Oh my goodness sorry to hear this sad news. RIP and condolences to CeeJay family and friends.
So sorry to hear this news. 
My sincere condolences to Ceejay's family and friends.
My sincere condolences to Ceejay's family and friends.
R.IP. Ceejay, you are truly missed already. Condolences to her family and friends
I feel really bad. Can’t believe she’s not here anymore. I chatted with her on 07/08 . She told me she had covid while I was feeling first symptoms of infection myself without even knowing it (yes, I got covid almost by the same time than her). Our last phrase to each other was “Fingers crossed my friend” and she said “Fingers and toes!!!” adding a laughing emoticon of her faceI've been debating whether I should add more to my original post as I do not wish to undermine anyone else's experiences but I feel heart broken over her sudden passing.

@Vlad thank you for letting us know. I still can't believe it but deeoply appreciate hearing about her passing. She was such a talented lady in many respects.
God that's actually broken my heartI feel really bad. Can’t believe she’s not here anymore. I chatted with her on 07/08 .

I also want to express my condolences and say that Ceejay will be missed.
I have been a long time lurker, first drawn to tpf when I became curious about Bals and this community offered (and continues to offer) an immense knowledge base. While I hadn't had much personal interactions with Ceejay, I have learned so much from her posts. Most importantly, her love and passion for Bals were contagious. This was one of the reasons why I went from being curious to falling in love with Bals. Ceejay will always be the Bal and Boobie Queen (BBQ for short?)
RIP Ceejay.
