What a great tribute. It is lovely poem about someone it seems everyone know here. It makes me smile knowing she will be missed by so many. I love the picture used and the pink for the background color. Make it tie together.

Thank you for the exceptional rating and review, Cathy M. I appreciate your comments about the tribute, the picture and presentation. We have lost quite a few FanStory members in the last year or two, and it does impact us because we share so much of our writing, and sometimes ourselves.

Thanks for the review, Greyson. I appreciate your comments. A multi-author book is something a writer can begin for other people to add to. For example, one member started a book for her mother's birthday, and asked others to share a story or poem. If you have other questions about it, send me a message.

This is a lovely and caring tribute for Joan E. You brought tears to my eyes as I read about this talented writer. I am going to have to go to her page and check out her writing,

The day I meet with my demise may the love of Fanstorians have a smile in their hearts and remember me with the love shown to JoanE. I didn't know her. Yet, I wish I had. She was a poet, and a writer I would have cherished. May she rest in peace. Thank you, Pam, for a lovely write.

What a wonderful idea to create a book of memorial poetry for your friend Joan! I wish I had known her, but I only joined in late 2020.
Your poem is moving and beautiful, a fitting poem for what sounds like a beautiful lady. I love Emily Dickinson and "Hope is the Thing with Feathers" is one of my favorites, so good choice!
Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the review, Susan. I appreciate your comments about the book, but I didn't create it. lyenochka (Helen) did that part. We are just adding to it. I am glad you liked the poem and found it moving. That poem is one of my favorites, too.

Beautifully done, Pam. The words never come easily at these times but yours are straight from the heart and show the depth of your online relationship with Joan. As you say, she contributed much and will be sorely missed.

Thank you for the exceptional rating and review, Tony. I appreciate your comments and you are right that words do not come easy at these times. I knew of no other way to write this than to look into my heart. She will be greatly missed.

I like what you said: "I look deep within my heart, To show how much I care, And how I'll miss, The special words you shared."To me, it reminds me that I enjoy the fan story.com. Thank you for sharing your writing.

We all miss our relatives and friends and loved ones like what you said: "Knowing you're at peace, We'll keep you in our heart,
And ours with you..."

Again, thanks for sharing.

PS; If you like ghost story, read "Pregnant Ghost Chapter 6" posted on Fanstory Newsletter page.
Until we meet again,
My special friend.

Thanks for the review. I appreciate you sharing the parts of the poem you liked. We do miss relatives and friends when they pass on, but they stay in our heart.

This touched me deeply Pam. You have managed to incorporate so much emotion into your words, telling of your own feelings and also expressing how we who knew her, now feel about being without her. I especially liked these lines:

O'er land or sea or air
You always took us there
And gave us such delight.
Now, it's our turn
To say how much we care,
And how you will be missed.

It is really difficult to put it into words, but I think you have done a wonderful job of it. Thank you for this touching poem.

Thank you for the exceptional rating and review, MM. This was very difficult to put into words, and I didn't know how I was going to do it. Then they started flowing down the page. I am glad you were touched by it and the feelings I shared. I appreciate you sharing the lines you liked, too.

I am so sorry for your loss, friend. I'm certain your beautiful tribute would make her heart burst with joy and pride.

Seeing all these poems about Miss Joan are truly wonderful. It's heart warming to see how many people cared about her and how many people she impacted.

Your poem is lovely. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for the review, Ann. I appreciate your comments about the loss of Joan, and I think she would be happy, too. She had been on the site since 2007 so there were a lot of people she knew and who followed her writing. She was a lovely person. I am glad you liked the poem.
