Goodbye Mary!

[lavendertook]

Mary, frolijah_fan_54, I'm going to miss your sweet, gentle, and smart spirit so much. I wish I had gotten that time to hang out with you that we talked about. I wish you had gotten more time with more good things. I'm an agnostic, and I know that would have made you smile, that, regardless, I hope you can feel all the love we're sending out to you today. Our hobbit posse is diminished without you.

For anyone who hasn't heard, our dear addie71 has posted about our loss of sweet Mary here.






I love that she's the only person in focus here with all the shiny things she belongs among.


And here she is enjoying her beloved hobbits, albeit in doll form.


My friend spiralsheep informed me that these flowers are speedwell, and not forget-me-nots, as I had mistakenly supposed--which is good, because those of us who knew Mary don't need help in keeping her in our memory. I think she would like to be virtually showered with Frodolijah blue speedwells, to speed her well on her way.



Namarie, sweet lady.

I think she would have loved those flowers. How appropriate for this post. *hugs*

Thank you, bb. I'm imagining us showering her in them. *hugs*

Thank you for sharing the pics of Mary. It hurts to see her but that's how we need to remember her, happy and enjoying a fun time with her fandom friends. She'd love those flowers, I'm very sure. *hugs you lots*

[lavendertook]

That's how we knew her. That's sweet of you to say--they're tiny, tiny flowers, but make the lawn shine with blue stars. *squishes*

hugs, bb.

Awwww, I think that's me next to Mary. That warms my heart and eases my sadness a bit.

*tight hugs for you*

In spite of everything, that pic made me grin so hard. How like her and what a terrific smile. Great to see her enjoying good times. Thanks, dear *hugs tight*

You can't help but smile back at her smile, right? *hugs you tight*

She is truly the cutest in her glee. That's why it is so hard to believe. I LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing these pictures. Thank you and hugs you so tight. We know her and have so much to be thankful for in just that alone. Hugs you sweetheart. You are like Mary. love xooxoxoxxo v

It's a sad, sad time. Any future mooting will feel the loss, but perhaps even more ♥ knowing what we've had and how we make things so good for each other. *soft hug*

[lavendertook.livejournal.com]

*hugs you tight* We'll keep the memory candles lit, and keep each other singing our songs.

Thanks for posting this Lav and how appropriate is that flower!
Hope you're holding up under the new job.

BTW I haven't seen her online but I assume you've contacted Julia?

[lavendertook.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you think so too--they're tiny, tiny flowers, but they make the lawn shine with blue stars.

It's been tough. It's a good job, with good people, but the commute has kept me from getting enough sleep and it caught up with me this week with getting really sick with fever, so I was out 2 days. I'm getting better.

I'm glad Julia posted yesterday.

This is indeed a loss to our community! I pray for all who came to love her.

[lavendertook.livejournal.com]

It is. Thank you, my dear.

There are no words that adequately describe our dearest Mary. She was literally like a sister to me.

[lavendertook.livejournal.com]

She was a sweetheart. We'll keep the candle of her memory lit in looking after each other who are left in our hobbit posse.
