Paying Your Respects

Most of us know that recently we suffered a terrible loss here on the lot.
Today I received an email that the online Guest Book for our own dear friend is about to expire. I have ensured that it will stay up for another year so that it
can be visited on anniversarys and holidays for friends and family to pay their respects and reconnect, if just for a moment, with our dear sweet, oh so missed friend.
I encourage everyone else who misses her to do the same. Here's the link, and it doesn't cost a thing to leave a message.: www.legacy.com/gb2/default.aspx?bookid=6743226438569 THIS IS NOT A REFERRAL LINK
Please pay your respects, and take note of the website as it may just come in hand for YOU one day.
Ain't the internet grand? LOL
to expire

I have to admit that I am absolutely floored. I guess I was gone way longer then I thought. I'm not sure what happened, but I am very sad that she is no longer with us.
Thank you very much for posting this link and even though I didn't know her well, I will gladly sign it.
I think this is a wonderful thing that you are doing and I am sure she is smiling down on you.

Thanks..........and thanks for seeking out the other thread too. Did you read all the comments? Some of them were outstanding and I'm so proud that so many of our mylotters took the time to leave their condolances. I want to print this Guest Book out for her kids as they deserve to know just how loved their mother was.

Then I'm glad you saw this thread Gabs, because Missy would be so pleased to see your name in her Guest Book. She thought you were the sweetest thing since slice bread don't you know! And I agree!

Thanks George. Missy used to laugh so much whenever she saw me call you George. When I explained to her why, she laughed even harder! Hugs to you my friend.

I've seen so many of those self-serving discussions stay up for ever! Makes me so mad that mine about Bella were wiped. Oh well, we do what we can and leave the rest up to the trolls! LOL

Aw Tamara, thank you for the kind words. I so enjoy you and if I'd put a smile on your face or made you think from time to time, then it's only because your loving heart and open mind make it possible. Hugs and much love to you too sweetheart!

Sparks-
I've added my thoughts. I did not know Bella as well as some you older users, but she was definately something of an inspiration in the short time I did know her. She will undoubtedly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.

Going there now sparky..... 
And yes, even though there are obviously a lot of bad things the internet brings, it does have many positives and this is one of them! It sounds like a marketing cliche, but it DOES bring people of the world closer.

Thank you for letting me know. But hun I tried the link you put here and I triple checked it to make sure I did it all right and it asked me if I was sure I typed it right, because it said there was nothing there under what I typed. Do you have another way I can get there? Thank you for any help.

Okay, thank you. I wondered if it might be something to do with my computer since I read others post and they got through. I'm sure I will figure it out.

I double checked the link moonbeam and it's working fine. Must be your computer now allowing just www links. Go into your settings (tools) and see if you can change that. Good luck.

This is the first I'd heard about this. How horrible for someone so young and with so much to give. I'm trying to think of something appropriate to write in the Guest Book but words are so hard to find in a situation like this. She will certainly be missed here and in the "real" world. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and close friends at this sad time.

Annie, it doesn't matter what you say, as long as it comes from your heart. Just say you miss her...................it's the thought that counts.

Hi there Spark ! I have visited this 1 hour ago and signed the guest book. I am really sorry she is gone and i agree with James, that the internet has a funny way of bringing people closer even if you don't realize it immediately.
Thanks for posting this... we all miss her.

Thanks so much elitess! You're a sweetheart. Bella's living on my memory and in her roses in my garden now. Every morning I go out and greet the new blooms and talk to her. Crazy maybe, but it gives me such a lift to my day! Hugs sweets.

I have entered a message, Sparks with tears in my eyes. I so wish I had known Bella like you did, she was such a gift. The guest book is a wonderful idea and that is an example of the great things that can come from the Internet, it can make a great big world a lot smaller.

I get email alerts every time a message is left. And I tear up at every one. I'm so proud of our mylotters, those who knew her well and those who didn't who have left such heartfelt messages. Thanks for your Paula. Hugs.

She was my very dear friend. It's the least I can do. It was Bella who taught me that the 'little' things are often more important to us than the big ones.........
