I've only just found out via your FB post Angeline I wondered if it was our Beth and went and checked her FB page ......... I am devastated and in tears here. Beth brought me love and laughter and it hurts so badly I find it hard to find the words

I know. She was a sweet lady, and I'll miss her. We really are like a family here and we all feel the loss.

Boo.
A woman who thought well, spoke well and did well to the world.
I feel sure she left it the better, for a life well and generously lived.  |

I came back to read the poetry (something I couldn't do last night) and I still haven't managed it. Didn't get beyond 3 and I am in floods again. She always used to say to me 'Always got time for you darling girl, you know that' and that was so typicsl of Beth.
I'll keep coming back until I've got the strength to read them all ...... just not now

Similar to others here, Lauren and I have known Boo for quite a while. We were fortunate enough to speak with her regularly and even more fortunate to do it via Skype. It was always such a joy for us to talk about anything and everything under the sun, and as many of you will know, our Boo rarely had a loss for words. Unfortunately, I do feel at a loss and so I will post one of the poems she wrote that has always moved me.
Morning Memory (villanelle)
byBooMerengueİ
The sweetness of the morning dew,
the sun's rays gently on my skin
remind me of my time with you.
A memory so deep within
my soul-there are no shadows there!
The sun's rays gently on my skin
reflect your smile, your eyes, your scent,
the energy you pass to me.
My soul-there are no shadows there,
for you have quickly set them free!
This garden stems from your design;
the energy you pass to me.
If only we could once align
our dreams and this reality
This garden stems from your design.
But now as sun begins to flee
The sweetness of the morning dew
our dreams and this reality
remind me of my time with you.

It is amazing that this news can hurt so much considering how many years it has been since I've even been here, but it does. Boo was always so supportive and caring. The world is a lesser place without her.

So sorry to hear this sad news. I chatted to Boo a few times and her passing touches my heart. Sending love and hugs to all those grieving.

I have not known what to say. It's very sad to lose such a vital member of the community. Also, it is a reminder that each moment is precious. I wish I had known BooMerengue better when I had the chance. I am glad that her writing remains for us.

I'm sure there are words from me, but I don't have them now. I'm tired of grief, but know it won't go away.

I keep coming in and reading what everyone has written and then leaving without adding anything 'cause I've been getting too misty-eyed and sniffly to really think, let along type, something with any coherence to it. Like so many have mentioned, I wish I had gotten to know Boo better (just as I had wished too late with other members of the Lit community), but...well, anyway, I can feel myself beginning to digress and ramble and....*sniff* 'Bye, Boo...
