The author's words were shocking to me, heartfelt and so so sad. I
loved Joan's poetry and looked forward to our correspondence here
on Fanstory. The tribute is just beautiful, Pam. The artwork and presentation of these words brought me to tears. Thank you, Maria

Joan was special to me. Much like your poem we sailed the seas and experienced seeing the turtles of their time along with beautiful sailing to other shores and listening to nature sing the songs of Mermaids.
Yes, I already miss her.
She was a faithful friend. One time she corrected my French. LOL. She had a right to do it. After all she taught the language for years.
She was a beautiful person. A tinder spirit. I will miss her much.

Oh, Pam, this was a wonderful tribute to our dear Joan. I was shocked to find out about her death. I didn't realize she was seriously ill, and I guess, and also reading some poets' remarks, that Joan didn't talk about it much.

Great imagery and visuals, fantastic presentation.

I just penned a tribute to her myself, I'll release when I'll have it promoted it more.

Thanks for the review, Muse. I appreciate your comments about the tribute, imagery, and visuals. You are correct in that Joan did not say much at all. I reviewed your tribute and it was lovely, too.

Your words are from your heart, Pam, in this tribute to Joan. There is great imagery, compassion, and fond memories of her as a poet and friend. Your image is peaceful and appropriate for your heartfelt remembrance of a wonderful poet and friend to all.
Thank you for sharing and caring.
Respectfully, Jan

Thanks for the review, Jan. I appreciate your comments and you are right about the words being from my heart. It was the only way I knew to write it. I am glad you liked the imagery and the memories of her, along with the image. They had gotten a bird feeder recently, and she was enjoying that and I thought that image was so peaceful and beautiful.

I've returned to Fan Story after a long time away. So saddened to hear. I chose this time to come back partly because of my friend, my haigen, my mentor, Alvin. Memories of Gungalo and others. They live in my heart. Your art & words would touch her as they do me.

Thanks for the review, Jean. I saw the name and thought I remembered you, but then I didn't see a lot in your portfolio. I am sorry you came back to news about Joan. I am glad you were motivated to come back; we did lose a lot of fanstorians just in the past few years. I am glad my words touched you, and I think they reached Joan, too.

I realize there are so many excellent people on FS that I was not familiar with, and Joan E. Your quote from Emily Dickinson seems so appropriate. You do an excellent job of conveying your joy at reading about her travel experiences. It would have been such a wonderful opportunity if you had had that change to meet her. Yes, her memory will always remain. judi
