I miss Jan so much! She was the sweetest, kindest lady, always had a nice word to say to you, and always sent me a PM to tell about an error I'd made. What can we say, except, we hope she is happy with her beloved brother and sister now. Well done, Debi, this was just so nice of you. Bless your heart. Love and hugs, Sandra xx

I wasn't aware Jan had died. I always enjoyed her reviews of my work. This is a beautiful tribute to a beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing.

Earl, I am so sorry that this is the way you had to find out that Jan had died.
She passed away around the later part of July. We had text many times a day and when I didn't hear from her for a couple days, I was worried. So after many texts, I tried once more and then when she didn't answer her phone either. So I called the police dept in her area and Yvonne had also done the same, and they had found her dead inside of her apartment. If you google obituary for Jan Lodle, you will see that this girl I have in my picture looks much like Jan. Not to mention how much the cat looks like Abby.

Thanks so much Earl, for the kind words for Jan's poem. For anyone who thinks you can't become attached to those you have never met virtually met, should meet the wonderful people here. It is the best.

I also appreciate so very much the gift of six stars. Thanks again, my friend.

Swinging on a star. A lovely and clever idea and connection. Another beautiful tribute, well rhymed and carefully structured. Just that ninth line jars a little. Otherwise, well done. X

Perfect song for Jan! She did live her stars! This is such a loving and personal remembrance for a woman who had no idea how many people benefited from her writing, her encouragement, and her friendship!

Super rhyming and meter here, Debi!

Happy Thanksgiving!

That is a lovely palm and a wonderful ode to Ann. Heartfelt and moving this was you always have that gorgeous script. When you're right looks visually pleasing and you're palm reads well allowed to. I see no issues with esthetics, grammar sentence structure punctuation or spelling. You've got a great entry here and I wish you best of luck!

This is a very sweet and beautiful poem you have penned for Jan! I know she would have loved it very much! It is so sad we do not know what we really mean to people until we are gone! She was a true friend and blessing. What happened to Abby? Do you know? She was a lovely little cat! I wish I had lived close to her and I would have taken Abby if she wanted me to. love you sweet friend! Teri
