Mette passed away last night.

Toke,

A terrible news you bring. I will miss the warm and kind words of Mette
and her interesting thoughts. Can you bring over my condolences to her
family?

She will be remembered in her websites, but as you pointed out they are at
great risk of being removed forever. Is there a way of storing it
somewhere else? Of course if her husband agrees...

groetjes, Rein

Mette was my good friend through 10 years. Strange enough I have never
met her even she was a member of my stamp club in Jutland. She lived
on Seeland.

Many of her web-pages have been "removed" (due to lack of payment to
the provider?) but one can still enjoy most of her great pages he

family.

I did not know Mette except through RCSD. She seemed to be a wonderful
person and she will be missed by all her friends here.

My condolences to Mette's family.

Sad news indeed - she fought against that "pest" of cancer so brave.
Mette du skal aldrig blive glemt!

At 4 pm today Ann Mette Heindorff's step daughter phoned me with the
sad news that Mette passed away last night. She lost the fight against
a lung cancer.

May she rest in peace.

As many have commented, Mette was a fine person and very constructive.

A couple of years ago she and I agreed to work together to avoid having
great exhibits lost to philately when the owners died and collections were
sold off in pieces. We discovered that there already were two solutions in
place, so we declared victory in our effort and went on to other things.

I'm not sure that Mette's web site material qualifies for Exponet, but
someone who knows the family might see if the survivors would be willing to
have Exponet display the material and see if Exponet would be interested.
The second solution was that some of the major national stamp societies have
archival libraries. At least one is very willing to archive CDs of exhibits
for historical purposes, although I've not asked if they would do it for
non-members. In the case of archival libraries, I doubt that the originator
would have to be a member of the society. And while not an exhibit in the
traditional sense, I'd think Mette's site material would qualify for library
space.

Here, here, Stan.
Bravo to you.
As a beginner, I found her work inspirational and absorbing.
It gave me licence to collect whatever I wanted,
and to stray from the beaten track.
I hope one day the archive problem of hers is solved.

Exponet displays a kind of album pages, as images. It is not what Mette did
with her sites.

An archive of CDs is what it is, just an archive, and not a live site on the
Internet.

The best, IMHO, is to bring all her sites back to the Web. Thanks to some
help that I got from a RCSD participant, I'm trying now to clear up the
things. Will post here the results later, if/when I have any.

May I suggest that you or someone with "SiteGrabber" archive her pages,
"just in case".

I'll try to pass all your kind words and thoughts to Mette's husband -
even I don't think he is on-line - but snail mail can still be used in
Denmark - I think!

I know that Mette has taken care of her husband for some years. She
once told me that he has some kind of handicap (what it is I don't
know).

I think that more people at the moment are visiting the
www.archive.org to save Mette's pages - as you say - just in case.

In 2008 Mette asked the Danish Motif Society if they would host her
pages - and they said yes. She had earlier talked to other collectors
and - also in 2008 when we discussed her pages - she offered them to
my local stamp club (www.aarhusfk.dk) Aarhus where I live. Mette was a
member too. Our board said "no, thank you" because the Danish Motif
Society http://motivsamler.dk/ would like to host the pages. Mette
told me in December 2008 that she had made an agreement about that.

So I think that people download the pages - just in case - but they
will not disappear - for sure.

Maybe there is the possibility that her pages can be preserved more
structurally? Anyone of us has a (web) place/opportunity for that?
Her family will surely read her personal email some time after now...
