My IRL impression of her was as a far warmer, and much shyer person. Then again, in person she gave me hugs and encouragement, while on the board I might be challenged sharply. I miss both!

ita was all of those things, in my experience. Damn, I miss her.

Yes, Cass. Totally.

I guess today is the 9th anniversary. Much as I hate FB sometimes, it does keep me connected to dates when I seldom do better than time of year, maybe. Seems so long and so short, all at once.

Yes, I calendar and celebrate birth dates, but FB brings back the days I want to forget.

Yeah...sometimes.

It can be a jolt when those memories start popping up, but on the whole I’m glad to have the reminders

This, too.

Thinking about BC (Omnis) today. May the force be with you, always.

I still have his mailing address on my iPad's Notes app. Couldn't bring myself to delete it.

The posts in this thread are always difficult, but today it is harder because the loss is still so new and raw. As I think about this thread I'm reminded that those we remember here were indeed among the best humans. We pay tribute to our departed on their birthday in gratitude that they existed in our world, and added so much to our lives.

Today, as we remember Jacqueline's birthday, we do so with abundant love. You are missed so much.
