Monastery in Mourning

[Lindorm]

Having only had a brief acquaintance with Sibling Chatty from these forums, I can't say that I knew her very well. What struck me about Chatty, was her straightforwardness, her friendliness and her intelligence.  I am glad that I got to meet her, even for just a little bit.

[Bruder Cuzzen]

I still don't want to believe that Chatty is gone .
It doesn't seem fair that God ( or whatever ) would be so selfish as to take her away from us , when she had so much to offer the world with  her wisdom ( I knew she was smart ... but an IQ of 180 + !!! ) .
I will stay so honored and blessed to have been among one so exalted before God , so humble , kind , intelligent and witty .

Dan , you must be fine man , for Chatty to chose you to be by her side .
I still have packages for her nephews and nieces . In the last PM's I had  with our dearest Chatty , she suggested I didn't send anything more because of the expense of postage , but I still want to ( thanks to Darren once again for his help ( You are a good man Darren ! . Bless ye ! ) .

I hope you finish with the renovations with the house you both shared and the garden as well .

All the best to you Dan , and I hope you post here often , for it will keep as a reminder for me that a part of Chatty is still with us , I get teary eyed when I see your user name on the board , but it is a sadness that I can live with .

Maybe God (or whatever) wasn't being selfish, though. Maybe we were, to have wanted to keep her here even when she was ill. But we couldn't help it, we loved her. No hard feelings- just glad ones, to have been lucky enough to be here when she was around.

Well said Nef Yoo.  I should have payed tribute to Auntie Dee Dee on this thread earlier instead of trying to carry on as normal.  Many heart felt tributes have been written on Venganza as well including 'The Black Spot'.

'Ello there Bart me matey-- good to see you as always.

Some people could be quite unhappy about that Carry On!

[DaveL]

Why should they be Both boards are full of good people. She was loved as much there as she is here, and always will be.

[Aggie]

Just the establishment, maybe.

It's been so long since I was over there I don't know if the establishment is still established! 

[Swatopluk]

Yes, I meant those people whose actions resulted in us leaving.
I wonder how many of the posters over there do not even know what happened and who that DD person was (esp. since she insisted on being removed from the member list).

Comment removed.

Please accept my apologies for wandering off topic.

[Darlica]

Out of respect for Chatty could we please try to avoid thread drifting here?

If anyone wants to share or discuss that particular story I suggest you do so by PM, I don't think the Open Water and in particular this thread is the right place for that.

Thank you, Darlica. I agree.

I stop and think about Chatty frequently. I am grateful for how she influenced us.

[Earthling]

Sorry, Darlica. I meant no disrespect. I only had the shortest period of overlap with Chatty, and she still managed to affect me greatly. Hers was (is?) truly a powerful soul, deserving of all our respect. I'll go back and fix my earlier post.

[pieces o nine]

This is very sad news. Chatty was always kind to me.

My condolences to her family and close friends; she will be missed.
