I didn't know Luna, and hadn't even read her posts, but there seem to be many who thought highly of her. My prayers got out to her family and friends who will miss her. Thanks for sharing another of your fine poem and picture combinations. :-)

I didn't know her well either, but have read some of the posts in her honor - beautiful and touching. It is particularly nice that, as the dean of haiku writers, you took the time to pen such an elegant tribute

Thank you you for the review and kind words sweetie pie.
I didn't know Luna well either but we were Facebook and fanstory friends on top of mutual fans. She was a lovely person. I will miss her.

Gypsy,
I am soooo in the dark. WHAT HAPPENED to her? I've been told - after much begging - that she passed, but still haven't found out what on earth happened! Please enlighten me? Even if you have to PM, please?
I do like this haiku. It's sweet and tender, just like her. Perfect!

Sure, it's not a secret. She was in the hospital for pneumonia and then fell down and hit her head. It was probably a combination but she had other health issues. It's all on her profile page. She was a lovely lady and I will miss her.
Thank you for the review and kind words sweetie pie.

She was a wonderful lady with a good heart and never ending support for her departed son reflected in many of her writes I was so saddened to here of her death.

You are very sweet, my friend
Comment from Sis Cat
Luna died? She was a great writer and we were fans of each other. I am stunned by the news and was just wondering why I have not seen a post from her in several weeks. I do not know what to say. I feel I know her through her writings, especially about her son Mickey. I am quite stunned right now and find it hard to believe she is gone. This haiku is a fine tribute to a wonderful poet, woman, and friend. Thank you for sharing and for informing.

I was shocked when I heard it from Dean, I was busy all day with class so I didn't know. It just happened today.
I posted a challenge at the forum in her honor. Will you write a haiku for her? It can be about anything, just dedicate it to her in the description line. Thank you.

An excellent haiku as a tribute to a unique lady. I truly admired her pieces and her love for her family. She and I exchanged lots of texts about life and the writings for the site.
This tribute is so her
