express that I feel that folks should grieve, mourn, and remember
in whatever way helps them through this time.

Loving messages?  Such as:
"...stop being skaters long enough to be humans..."
???

Please tell me what your loving message was.  Your post about the
7 pm reflection was couched in disdain for skaters and skating.

The skater was trying to promote togetherness and love, as was evidenced by her entire message and the closing remarks telling us all to have a great weekend and PEACE!
