FloridaLisa Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 This board has such a long history of so many folks.

Kay, if you are reading this, our prayers are with you and your son. Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolphin Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Just in case you scroll through at anytime. Kay, You have been my voice of reason and comfort many times. I will never forget you reaching out when I first started homeschooling and telling me it would be ok. I might have been just another newbie with the October panics, but you really stuck out as a guiding light at that time (and that was years ago now). You will be missed. You have made a mark on this earth, in the hearts of lots of people here, at work, and I am assuming elsewhere. This sure puts everything else in perspective this morning. Peace be your journey. :grouphug: Nicole aka Dolphin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrincessMommy Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I'm stunned and saddened. It seems like it wasn't that long ago she was posting some advice to someone concerning mental illness and now she's in hospice!?! She will be missed. Does she have a CaringBridge page or somewhere where we can keep up with her? This is such sad news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praying for you and your loved ones, Kay. I've been wrapping myself in her words. When I heard the news last night, I just wanted to run to her side and tell her how much she has meant to this group. The best I could do, though, was to search her posts/updates and just surround myself with her words. I hope we always have that part of her here.

ondreeuh Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I have missed her on this board. I always looked forward to her two cents, because she was so adept at being diplomatic, kind, and helpful (even when the thread was heated). I kind of hold her as a role model of how to navigate communicating on the internet. I hope her son knows how many people she has touched. I was 15 when my mother passed away, and I know she was concerned about how I would finish growing up. I am the person she helped me to become, and she needn't have worried. Kay has given her son a great foundation, and he will carry the love and wisdom she gave him in these formative years for the rest of his life. I am glad to know he has such an involved Papa who will make sure he is OK. Will you pass on our thoughts to her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slipper Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I don't want to be intrusive, but if she is open to receiving cards from us during this journey, I would love to write to her. If someone has an address (and permission to send under these circumstances) would they mind sending to me? She always had such good, practical advice. Again, if she'd rather not, I understand completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Create Your Ritual Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 She was the first person to friend & welcome me to the WTM boards a few years ago. I have always appreciated her wit & ability to tell it like it is. My thoughts & prayers go out to her & her family at this time, and I hope she feels enveloped by all the love and support.
