Such sad, sad news. My Thoughts and Prayers are with Angelique and with her family and friends Over a year ago Angelique posted this poem in memory of another Freeper who passed away. I had corresponded with Angelique and Thanked her for posting this poem. Today I am posting this for you Angelique, Rest In Peace.
God Bless
A ship sets sail in the morning breeze to start for the blue ocean. She is the object of beauty and strength. We watch until she sails away, until at length she hangs like a white cloud just where the sky and ocean come down to mingle with each other. Then someone says, "There, she is gone." Gone from our sight...that is all. She is as large in hull and mast and spar as she was when she left the shore; Her diminished size is in us, not her- At the moment we say, "There, she is gone," other eyes are watching for her coming, and other glad voices are ready to take up the shout, "There she comes." That is dying........
Your Freeper Friend,
