I'm shocked. We just spoke of her at the reunion and she was holding her own, you said. Especially poignant now is the image of you explaining why you were wearing the cat ears (in honor of her.) Now they will be even more special. I hope she got to hear of the reunion and maybe see a picture or two. We were partners in the Elder's List back in 2014.. We would notify each other and make sure if someone new hit their one year mark they wouldn't be missed. She set her list up on the old platform chronologically and did it beautifully in an excel spreadsheet. Nice neat columns. Mine looked like a mess.. We spent a lot of time talking about the best way to do things, what parameters to set, how to go about it, etc. We also (along with Youngatheart and Shawn and Storm) initiated a Newbie Patrol. Each person took a different day of the week and went to the various inactive groups to make sure the new comers posting there weren't lost, but brought over to the blogs. (Short lived attempt, was an idea that didn't work ultimately.) She also was a conductress on the Freedom Train. She participated and offered so much support here. I'm sorry I never got to meet her in the flesh. A lovely soul. Heaven is the richer.
This was part of one of her posts on Caring Bridge: "When I start to get scared I remember the word God gave me...Believe. I believe God has put me in a place to work in the area I have a passion to work, I believe that the chemo is part of this chapter for me and I BELIEVE that none of this is happening without God's direction.
Love to all!"
Bon voyage Sharon. You fought the good fight!
