"I am a figment of the imagination."
"I have no profile."

By ru4Liberty

Anyone who knew whoever knows she would NOT like us to be maudlin at her passing. Remember, this is the lady who has told many of us that she longed to look upon the face of the Savior, so she’s blissfully happy. Today, let’s make it a point to remember her and the blessing she was to our lives. Let’s remember her humor, her wisdom, her inspiration.

Do you remember when you first met her? I do. We met in a political chat room back in ‘99. We hit it off right away for many reasons but mostly because of our shared faith. For the next 3 years we were together every day via IM, chat rooms, phone calls. At the time I was 24/7 caregiver for my father, and who was the constant in my life that kept me sane (mostly). Over the next 3 years, we laughed, cried, prayed, fussed and dreamed. We took long “cyber walks” through scenic settings we found online. When Daddy finally passed in September 2001, she was an enormous help to me. I don’t know what I would have done without her.

Would you believe that who almost missed FR? In the chat room where we met, there were a couple of disgruntled former FReepers (you know the type) who had her convinced that FR was the bane of the internet. At my urging, she checked out FR and found it to be delightful, so she registered and began posting on a limited basis. Then she got involved on the Canteen and later the Finest threads and was in her element. Boy, did she enjoy her time on FR!! She enjoyed learning HTML and then sharing what she’d learned with others. She loved the prayer threads and was a faithful prayer warrior. Those of us who chatted with her in our chat room were a little jealous of her time on FR. Once she got involved on FR, we got less of her time. But we decided to be magnanimous and share her with y’all! ;-)

I would like to thank all of you who made her time on FR so enjoyable. This was a woman who thought she might be online for 20-30 minutes a day when she first got her computer! She never dreamed of the treasures the internet would unfold for her.

who’s greatest priority in life was serving the Lord. She was utterly grateful for what He did for her at Calvary and wanted the whole world to receive the grace that was extended to mankind as a result of His sacrifice. She even witnessed her faith to the hospice workers who attended her in her last days. From early on in our relationship, I knew that she couldn’t wait to get to her heavenly home so she could look upon Jesus’ face for the first 100 years. It would be impossible to accurately remember who without extending to all an invitation to know the Lord in the power of His resurrection. For those of us who are His, this goodbye is only temporary. There will be a time of reunion in a place where there are no more goodbyes for all eternity.

To my friend, who: I love you, girlfriend! Thanks for the wonderful memories we stored up over our all-too-brief friendship. Thanks for making me laugh and cry and think. Thanks for being a solid rock when Daddy was so sick and when he finally passed. Thanks for loving my little Chelsey so much. Thanks for your unwavering faith in all the situations we faced. You will be sorely missed, my friend, but not for long. Soon and very soon, we will all be together again. Hallelujah!

Whoever collected pigs, she loved kittens and puppy dogs, and she was always finding cute things (of which The Thin Man often 'borrowed!') to post on the threads. I've gathered some that she was particularly fond of and wanted to post them here as we remember our who. From her friends, these are some of her favorites: (The first one - the empty frame - she absolutely LOVED! It was her portrait.)   :)

Good morning, FRiends. We hope you will join us today as we celebrate the life of our FReeper FRiend, whoever.

ru, I'm so sorry I didn't get to send you a preview before I posted this today. I didn't have the time yesterday to finish it as I thought, and just finished it this morning. Our company was here much longer (one of them just leaving this morning), and I had a few minutes yesterday afternoon to get online, but my computer was acting really wierd and sluggish (like something else was going on inside my PC - kept getting the 'hourglass' icon, and noises like some other program running)

[dansangel]

(((((Billie)))) - thank you for doing this. Whoever has been weighing heavily on my mind and heart this past weekend.

sweet whoever: you were one of the first people to welcome this newbie to FR. Your dry wit, poems, jokes and *kind words* will always be in my heart. Enjoy your special place with our Father. Perhaps you could put in a good word for all of us at FR.

I miss you, but I am glad that your journey is finally over. Rest in sweet peace in the midst of Our Lord's grace and love.

Beautiful presentation, Billie.

I'll be back a little later.

[deadhead]

Thanks Billie, you have presented us with a lovely tribute to whoever. Love the whoever angel :-) I will always remember who's inspirational poems and her love for President Reagan. whoever taught me how to post graphics, was so very patient with all of my questions. who entered heaven exactly 7 years to the day that my dear Mom did, say hello to "Mickey" for me who. I had planned to post a different graphic, changed it at the last minute, in the spirit of celebrating whoever.

Rest In Peace my friend

Whoever was a joy to interact with here, sharing inspirationals daily she truly inspired one to be bold in their relationship with the Lord. She also had a keen sense of humor but always without harm to anyone. Who always had the appropriate reply for everything and enriched every thread she was on.
I had been in denial that this day would come knowing that the world couldn't really afford her loss. I do thank God though for the time that she spent here with us and feel consoled that she is now with Him.

We beseech Thee, O Lord,
in Thy mercy,
to have pity on the soul of Thy handmaid;
do Thou, Who hast freed her
from the perils of this mortal life,
restore to her the portion of everlasting salvation.
Through Christ our Lord,

Amen.

***Amen***

Good morning, Dansy. Thank you for your sweet words. Who was an FR treasure to those who had the opportunity to get to know her here. We know she's up there smiling as she sees again her giggling elephant, her portrait, and all the sweet/funny gifs that her dear friend, wolfie, made for her, along with other favorites she loved to post.

[dutchess]

Billie and ru...thanks for a very touching tribute. I remember whoever was one of the first to freepmail me when I was trying to figure out how to post pictures. Heaven is now a brighter place...

[Billie]

Thank you, jw. It's hard 'not' to get a little misty-eyed for those of us who thought she was pretty special.

[Billie]

Good morning to you, Chris. Thanks for being here.

[Billie]

Good morning, martin. Thanks for the nice, cheery sunrise.
