Hi Debi,
when authentic-heartfelt words are written or said, they seem to flow without missing a beat. You have composed a beautiful-caring-heartfelt poem to Judi, Debi... and all in a magical rhythm and rhyme.

It makes my heart flow in comfort knowing of the quality of wonderful writers within our family of Fanstory.
You truly are a talented wordsmith Debi...
beautiful!
Exceptional!

With our thoughts we create...
authentic connections.

Kindest regards,
James.

Hi Debi, I'm so sorry I am out of sixes
my wonderful friend...

I do know the pain of losing a loved one...
so I know what it feels like for others...
and my heart goes out to them...I wish words
could heal their pain...but I know we all have
to grieve in our own time...and way...

but you are so right sweet angel...FanStory friends
are priceless...and if you ever need someone talk to...
you can always turn to your FanStory friends...Oh how
God has Blessed us...

I love your poem sweet girl...and love your picture...
very nicely written...God Bless Judi...love much...Linda xxoo

Yes, these are difficult moments trying to pick the right words for someone grieving. Even though everyone here is some sort of a wordsmith, this is a challenge to the best of us.

Simple words and comforting rhyme give your poem strength.

Debi, this is a beautifully written heartfelt poem to express sympathy to Judi; but also to know that she had friends here to help her through this most difficult time.
Beautifully expressed and presented.
Best wishes,
Mary

Very well said. Often no words we can say would take someone's pain away. And losing someone close creates the type of pain that never really goes away. It may dull with the passage of time, but wounds often open up again.

I liked your fancy font, your creative imagery and visuals and your choice of artwork.

This is lovely, Debi. You are right that we have the joy of traveling around the world on FS, and finding people who love us and care about us. It's such a blessing. I love your tender words to Judi, and pray God's comfort over her. Thanks for sharing. Blessings. Carol

Such a sweet, strightforward, heartfelt show of support for Judi. Your angle on it is all too true. It isn't easy to know what to say. I've learned that it doesn't matter. Anything you say breaks the silence of loss for a moment. You did that so lovingly.

This is beautiful, Debi. I don't really know Judi, and I wasn't sure what her loss was until I read some of the earlier chapters like Sandra Stoner-Mitchell's lovely poem that explained that she lost her husband. Very sad, but with good friends like you and Sandra and others here on FS, I'm sure it helps bring her some comfort that we love her and care about her.

You did a wonderful job with this poem. Jim

That is a wonderfully heartfelt poem, Debi, full of love. No, words are not always easy in certain situations, but you did an amazing job with your words. Sometimes joy does seem so far away when things of this life are unfair. But I especially liked you closing,
'Judi, when you're lonely, you won't have too far to go
To travel around the world to find a friend who loves you so'
A lovely poem, Debi. Thanks for sharing.
