I'm around!

 

[Tink]

Still around. I was wondering about some of the others too.

Hope everything is well with you all.

So sad to hear about Mom.

 

[Blank123]

hello old family. I've missed you all

 

[Tenebrae]

I just posted this for a work mate who also passed this week, thought it might go well here as well

Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other
That we are still
Call me by my old familiar name
Speak to me in the easy way you always used
Put no difference into your tone
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes we always enjoyed together
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was
Let it be spoken without effort
Without the ghost of a shadow in it
Life means all that it ever meant
It is the same as it ever was
There is absolute unbroken continuity
What is death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind
Because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you for an interval
Somewhere very near
Just around the corner
All is well.
Nothing is past; nothing is lost
One brief moment and all will be as it was before
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

(Henry David Thoreau)


Miss you mum

 

[Godslilgurlalways]

I don't remember what my name/role was here I think it's posted on a different thread.... I miss everyone it has been a long time since I have been on here. I hope everyone is doing well. I was sad to hear that DeDe aka Mom has passed away. She was a wonderful person, I will miss her.

 

[Robinsegg]

I'm here! (after a rather long absence, sorry)

Baby is now 13 months and healthy. I never got Type II diabetes. Oldest dd10 is now on the road to becoming an international medical missionary. Ds7 has more hearing problems, and his cat allergy is higher than before.

While I will miss DeDe, it's important to remember that she'll no longer be in pain and is now rejoicing with the Father.

Hey guys, Derek dropping in. I've been out of town all week working, got in tonight and recieved the news. Not doing too hot. Dede was a special lady.

 

[pete56]

Hi Papa Penguino here.

I don't come in to CF much now, but hearing about Dede, has brought me back to express sadness and gratitude for her and all she has done -for all of us and so many others.

((((hugs)))) to all the Family!

Mama P will be sorely missed!

 

[kiwimac]

Rest in Peace, Dede.

 

[Hoankan]

I'm around, running around behind the scenes as always. I didn't have a long time working with Dede but she could touch a person's heart in even the shortest of times.

^ look at the list of people that Dede affected in one way or another. These are just the ones that we can think of, and I'm sure there are many, many more!!!


She is going to be sorely missed!

 

[Joy]

i changed my Username from KarenJoy to MollieSue

Dede was lovely to work with

 

[MaraPetra]

I'm here. I got the news this morning, via the PM.

I feel so sad right now. Not only have I lost my real Mom this year (Jan. 14), I lost Momma P, too. I'm kicking myself for not calling her last week...I would have been able to at least say good-bye.

I worked with her for so long, and we stayed friends after CF. Words cannot express how fractured my heart is to know she's gone.

RIP, Dede. I love you.

 

[bubblefish]

I've contacted who I can. How are you all? What have you all been doing? I'm glad that a number of us could get back together, even if it is during a sad time.

I also have messages from sinneD and Minty:

If you could possibly post my condolences and also let others know what a privilege it was to work with, Dede, even for only a few short weeks before the teams were restructured and I was moved to somewhere else

I was so sorry to hear about DeDe, but she had a log and difficult struggle, so maybe it was best for her. Have not been to CF for a couple of years, but say hi to everyone over there for me.

I agree Tracie I was amazed as I put that list together how many people were actually there.

 

[Bamboo_Chicken]

These are just those who worked with her on staff...I know she had a lot of friends here who were non-staff as well. It's amazing that one person can have touched so many others and left such an impact even after she's gone.

 

[none the wiser]

Little Owl here. I don't come here anymore, but I still get PM emails.

Dede was so kind to me I was sad to hear she'd passed...the last I heard she was doing better. Thanks for contacting me

It's good to see everyone again...

ETA: Oh gosh, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to post here...if this gets deleted, I'll PM someone what I wanted to say.

 

[Melbelle]

Melly here was RedneckMelly when on staff, and I remember Dede, she took me under her wing and showed me the ropes when I was on staff, she was a great mentor, and someone who is greatly admired, she will be truly missed. May her spirit live on.

 

[Saucy]

hey everybody....good to see everyone again even under sad circumstances. I will miss Dede quite a bit. It's always good to look back on the good times and the bad times we all have had. I will miss the frequent debates she and I had over things that just don't seem quite as important. Love ya dede! And I still love all you though I haven't been around CF much. God has been taking me on such an incredible journey the past few years. Dede has been a part of it. I owe her so much.
