Sweet Saddness...  / Deb Mc

Dee,

Not a day goes by that you don't pass through my thoughts. The other day I felt you at my shoulder, smiling and encouraging me. At last a peacefulness has settled on my heart, but I miss you still, Goober.  I carry a deep thankfulness that I was privileged to know you and to share your love and abiding friendship.  My soul sister, thank you for the wisdom you imparted, your quiet calm, your direct, yet quirky way of looking at life, your ability to look deeply at a problem and then face it with resolve, your uncanny ability to fall completely and deeply asleep in the blink of an eye, and your infectious laughter.  Thank you for walking the woods with me in our special unspoken way, each seeing and breathing in nature and coming away renewed.  Thank you for being such a good and loving Aunt to Takoda, his "packmate".  Thank you most of all for helping me to see life and even myself in a new way.  Thank you Deirdre.  Though you saw yourself often as "Deirdre of the Sorrows" you were always and will always be to me "Deirdre of Joy".  I miss you.  I love you.  You are forever in my heart.    Gooberette

My mama  / David Sargent (Son)
These are just a few things, e-mails etc,

I love you so much, we will all be there soon after my mom's remains are released into the vast oceans of universe. 

I want to keep the memory of one of the most wonderful, and purist people the world ever had the chance to love. She is free and her Meta (love) will return to the universe where this wonder of humanity was born of. She will never be forgotten, never stop being loved, cherished by all that knew her, and all that she helped.

We were all blessed to know this miracle of unconditional love. Her energy has returned to its mother, the oneness of the universe, the stars, the life force, you me and all that is and ever will be. FREE, the one thing my mother understood so well. She would not want us to be scared for her, or morn for her. But be happy for the fact that she is free of the suffering that plagues us all.

I don't think that she would want us to be sad when she is let go. So lets please not wear black at that time, it just wouldn't be her. Lets all be happy then, crying is OK but true sadness is not what she would want. Lets celebrate her life and love and let her live though us, forever.

I love all, in the same way that she did. And that has been the hardest thing in life for me, to love and be scared of others understanding that Passion for all life. Considering that both of my parents were not of the norm, its not a surprise that like them I can see through all false reality's all see that life is all the same, we are all born loving, kind and true to compassion. But this false waste of life's miracle that society is today will stop as much as possible with my mothers love though me.

Let's say goodbye, so what she has become can move on. She is Free again.

Love David, son of true love.

Thank you for the Mother's Day card!

What a really fantastic message... I'll bet few Moms get something written by their child/children, so felt by the heart, I never forget what we learned together as you grew up!

Even though we don't get to communicate very much, we are still connected by what I like to call the silver thread. We have so much commonality, that I feel we are sometimes in the same space at the same time, being held by a silver thread of love.

Call me when you can.

I love you.

Mom

A thought from across the Pond - the Big One (Atlantic that is)  / Jane Lowerson (A Friend Overseas )
On the 20th December, I posted a photo taken of Dee and myself in Anne's house taken in January 1991.  I took the photo down on the 22nd as we all left work for Christmas.  We had a "guess who we are" competition going. I spent a couple of days telling people about the wonderful friend I lost touch with after moving back to England in 1993.  Dee was one of the two special people who saw me off at Dulles when I left to continue my journey over here.

Dee gave me a copy of the Bridges of Madison County and inscribed it in a loving manner.  I of course still have the book.  I wish we could have stayed in closer touch than we did.  

Dee and I started our firendship when she worked at New Hampton Inc., and continued over a 13 year period.  Dee was an extremely private person, particularly where work colleagues were involved and I am honoured that she chose to share a friendship with me and to invite me into her world.

I find it uncanny that I chose to pull out that photo and display it at the same time that she moved on.  I am grateful as well to see that Dee looks happy and at peace in the photos displayed and that is a lovely way to remember her.  

To everyone who every knew her - God bless Close

I felt your presence yesterday...  / Valerie Hall (Friend)
Dee,

I attended my first Moon Circle yesterday... YEP, I finally made it and I'm so glad that I did.  What a wonderful time the Moon Circle is.  I felt honored to be in such a calming space to honor you and the life you lead... the friendships you made IMMEDIATELY with all of us.

I'm sure you would've been so embarressed by all the fuss, but hopefully you watched and really KNEW how much we all miss and love you.  How much you affected ALL of us.  There were so many others that wanted to be there yesterday, I know you can feel their love for you, as well!

At one point yesterday, we were looking toward either east or west and as I turned to look out the window, I saw a beautiful hawk land on a branch, just across the street... was that you?  Finally soaring freely in the blue sky?  I'd like to think so, I did feel you soooo strongly.

Always,

Val Close

Missing / Lynn
I miss seeing Laughing Wolf Woman.  You are such an inspiration. Close

So focused on you  / Terri McNair (Friend)
Dee, 

Although at work on your special day,  my eyes were focused on the clock, my mind so consumed with thoughts of you that I found myself outside, gazing at the sky, in hopes that you would hear me say goodbye.

Your memory will live inside all of us forever. Close

Tomorrow will be one week  / Lori McNair (Friend)
I can't believe it will be one week tomorrow that Dee has left this life.  The posted pictures of Dee are wonderful.  I feel her soul as I look at her and it just makes my heart ache even more for the friend we have all lost.  I am so thankful that from searching the internet for something to do one day that I came upon a potluck dinner being held at 2121 Bear Corbitt Road and I decided to go.  Through this I met a woman I had felt like had been my friend for years.  I am so blessed that she came into my life.  But so sad that she was taken away so soon.  What a good, kind heart she had. So gentle and caring of a soul. Close

You are sorely missed  / Valerie Hall (Friend)

Dee,

I hope that everyone who knew you saw you as an incredible human being.  Your smile was as genuine as I have ever known.  Your belief in the beauty of this world was contagious.  You will never be forgotten.

I am thankful to have been blessed by your friendship.

Love,

Valerie
