So terribly sorry about your friend. Keep her alive in your memories, and share stories with us so that we’ll remember her, too.
I rage at the deaths of good people. The world never has enough of them. When I lose someone I love, which hasn’t happened for a long time, thank goodness, I build a webpage and dump every memory I have of them. Back when I was 17, I lost a mentor and heroine to bone cancer. Someone told me that they live as long as they’re remembered. It was the greatest comfort. And so I carry people with me that must be remembered and I spread their memories far and wide so that they will still live on in the memories of people who’ve only met them through their stories.

I LOVE your website of memorials! To think that your friend/relative would balk at naming a child Freelove. I actually kind of like it.
Your site is such a good idea. If I can recall the few website design classes I took before retiring in ‘08, I might give it a try myself.
I believe that God brings certain people together for special purposes, whether long-term or fleeting. This fellow bell-ringing, and fellow quilting, friend was there for me when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. She had been through it herself, and she and her sister were my sherpas guiding me through the ordeal.
On 9/11, another close friend died ... well ... “suddenly”. I believe she was a vax victim.
Oh, well ... enough.
