TheBanyanTree: Sad story

[Gloria]

Awww....so very sad.  I'll miss her wit, wisdom, humor, and stories
immensely.  I think I'll go sit on the balcony, stare off in the direction
of the ocean and its crashing waves, and recall the many fond memories I
have of our Dee.  I'm so thankful I got to meet her and accept her "larger
than herself" hugs a few years back.  What an inspiration she has been for
me.

I was just describing this unique Tree to my sis-in-law the other day.  I
told her how I'd joined the group 16 years ago and how I know so many folks
here better than I know my extended family.  Told her of how we're all
getting older, our kids have nearly all been raised, people like me are
becoming Grandmas and how, sadly, a couple of members have passed on.  I had
no idea at the time that another sad, sad story would be told today.
Yep...time for a front row seat oceanside...can't think of anyplace I'd
rather be at this moment.
