Oh MH I am so so sorry. My eyes are filled with tears. What a gift DS has been to all of us. There just aren't ever words that seem appropriate but we are all with you in spirit right now.
But that's just a lot of water
Underneath a bridge I burned
And there's no use in backtracking
Around corners I have turned

I am so sorry for our loss, and even sorrier for your loss, MH.
I'm so glad I met DS (and you). I loved her sense of humor. I loved her feistiness. I loved the care she showed to us. I loved her queenliness. I loved the way she fought the cancer.
She has a place in my head and heart. I'm not likely to forget her.
I don't want to imagine how great a loss this is for you. You'll survive and thrive, but now is a time to mourn.

Thank you so much for allowing us the privilege of visiting DS during the elf party. It means so much to me that I got to see her one more time.

I'll never forget how DS's warmth, joyous approach to life and wonderful sense of humor let me move frm deep darkness to laughter the first time we met. She was truly a gift to me and so many others.

I don't know what else to say other than I am so very sorry. It has been such a privilege and a gift to know both of you, and DS will forever be in all of our hearts. If you need anything at all, please do let us know.

Another old timer here who rarely is around but knew I needed to post today. DS was a wonderful, wonderful person. We became friends here on SI and we're friends for many years. She was ever so fierce in her love of all of us here and did so much for each of us.
MH - you are in my thoughts and prayers. know that she is with you and wants you to know she's no longer in pain. And she will continue to watch over us and you for the rest of our days.

Just her presence here made the *world* a better place.
It's astonishing, the sheer number of individuals she has impacted positively in such powerful and life altering ways.
We all share, in some small way, in your loss, MH.
Peace.

Never regret. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it’s bad - it's experience.

I feel like a light, literally, went off. DS was a light.
She had a unique, beautiful spirit, filled with joy and wisdom. Words can't convey how much I will miss her. She and I have grown so close over the years. I admire her for more reasons I can list.
My heart is broken. She will be with me forever.
I feel lost. This world is so much better with her in it.
(((((MH)))))
DS, you are forever in my heart. Thank you for sharing your beautiful spirit with me. I will always try to live by the example you have set. I love you and miss you every day and am sorry you had to go so soon, it just doesn't seem fair.

I am completely at a loss for words right now and am so terribly heartbroken. I just wanted you to know MH that we are here for you. You did such an amazing job taking care of her and I am so glad she wasn't afraid or in pain.
Goodbye my sweet friend.
Go softly my sweet friend. You will always be a part of who I am.

So sorry to learn of DS passing. Especially for you MH.
DS was the first person to reach out to me ..... before SI.
Wonderful human being.
..negative people beat cancer also..
SI was where I finally found people who understood.
