Wow, that's what I get for not being on these boards much lately and not peeking out of JFO. How horrible about DS. She was very good to me here and such an incredible resource to this board.

Like many, I don't have words to express my gratitude or my sorrow for DS and MH. You both ably cast a safe and healing net for so many of us, and my husband, kids, and I were fortunate enough to be rescued by the two of you, and all the kind and wise members of SI. I will think of DS and MH often, and those thoughts will bring a smile and rush of thanksgiving, along with prayers that comfort and healing peace will be yours in the future.

I see DS's name and and miss her every time I see the list of staff members.
Maybe when MH takes up his scepter again, he'll leave DS's name there, or move it to a new 'Inactive staff' section, or even set up a 'Founders' section.

Just wanted to pop in and say hi to you DS, I love it that the Christmas theme is still here for you and that your name is on the top thread in OT.
I'm sure you already know that your precious husband is keeping your legacy alive.
Peace.

I saw the purple today and it made me smile. I have never been fond of the color but here on SI it has brought me so much comfort. And it makes me think of you DS and you MH. Thank you seems so small

Was just thinking about DS today. Hope you are doing OK MH.

Thinking about you so much, my friend. I know you'll be looking down on the shenanigans this weekend. We didn't have it in our hearts to be there this year, but we still smile when we think about all the memories we shared.
Love you.
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.

Just saw the picture of DS on the top of the site. Her smile made my day. MH I hope you are doing as well as possible.

Happy Birthday DS! We all miss you dearly but know that you are smiling down on us! You are just one of those people that make me want to be better. Thank you for that.
I plan on a shot of Patron from my freezer this evening in your honor. <3

Happy Birthday DS. You are certainly missed around here. MH has kindly reminded us of your birthday, "he's doing you proud".

DS - I have been aware for a while - you are missed. Thank you so much to both you and MH.
I have been through this twice: I think back on the first time and think how different it would have been had this place existed at that time.
What you were a part of creating has touched so many lives.

Simply getting better.
