I've had a hard time writing since Barbara's passing... just feel like something is missing, with all of her fun reviews and thoughtful comments & posts... Glad to see pieces of her spirit still floating around the community!!

....it's still hard for me to believe she's gone. We all miss her.

That new/revised version of facebook just suggested to me that I keep my contact with Barbara by writing on her wall, and her daughters recently posted lovely messages to her, noting that it has now been six months since she left this earth.

Yes, this creeped me out big time because when I X'ed it out, the next suggestion to keep in touch with was my Uncle ROger, who passed away at the beginning of the summer.....

I guess those are gentle reminders that they are still with us somehow....

I thought of Barbara this morning but can't remember why. It made me realize that I think of her just about every day. I didn't know her that well and we were just starting to get to know each other a bit more. I sure do miss her and her reviews.

...
I have often thought this thread should be unpinned and let slide down the page.

But after coming across a Barbara comment on another user's review/comment thread earlier this week . . .that same feeling of 'something missing' hit me also.

'Pinned' or not . . .I suspect many will not forget...


...sigh...
