Yeah, she started using that for Tony. Those were creative threads!
It's quite telling to see how many people on this thread have already mentioned that she was one of those rare souls on this forum who never failed to bring the "class" level up on every thread she participated, isn't it? How true that is - she'll be absolutely irreplaceable to FR in that sense.
I can only offer her real life family, her FR family & especially all her fellow Snowflakes who loved her so dearly my deepest, warmest sympathy & prayers that your grief will soon be overtaken with the joy that comes from realizing how truly blessed you all were with the privilege of having someone so special connected to each of your lives - even if for some of you that connection was only shared through a keyboard.
Having witnessed the affectionate comraderie she shared with all of you Snowflakes for years, I know that every last one of you will surely suffer for the loss of your lovely, lovely friend for a very long time, but don't ever let your sadness prevent you from celebrating the wonderfully fun memories she left behind as mementos of her bonds with all of you within each of your own hearts.
RDB3, speaking of fun, perhaps she didn't invent SNOQ, and my memory is the absolute worst, but didn't she start everybody using "THUD"? It was such a fabulously useful word and it's one I still use in real life to this day whenever I see a thudaliciously handsome man.;-)
That’s beautiful, Leilani!
I don’t know if she invented “THUD”, but she used it whenever it was appropriate. :)
Yeah, she started using that for Tony. Those were creative threads!
she may well have been the Thud originator.. I recall when it started on the Dose.. while GWB was still in office. I had made up a series of thud graphics (I know, so pertinent) LOL
Dont know if anyone has that archived
Your post is correct - the real value of gratefulness for what we had
...we do take for granted opportunities & people much to often - well, at least I know I do. Just expect that all will be in place tomorrow. Not aways the case.
Nice seeing you Leilani!
