I don't have the words to thank you all enough. My TTOL family was the closest for many years but we (the MODS) burned ourselves out here and had to take a break, not from you but the chore of moderating. I haven't been back often because I felt I no longer had any thing to contribute for travelers so I'm sorry I had to come back only to bear sad news. Yes, she was a bright and shining light everywhere she went and never failed to make people smile. She adored the islands with all her heart, most especially her adopted home on Anegada. We came within inches of moving there with her as island nurse but for our aged mothers we weren't able to leave.
So thank you all. I'm not sure I'll ever make it back to the BVI but if can find a way, you'll all be the first to know! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />
Meanwhile, I'll leave you with this thought of Di sent to me by Kimmers.. it's so very true and it's here beside me every day.

As I sit in heaven
And watch you everyday
I try to let you know with signs
I never went away
I hear you when you're laughing
And watch you as you sleep
I even place my arms around you
To calm you as you weep
I see you wish the days away
Begging to have me home
So I try to send you signs
So you know you are not alone
Don't feel guilty that you have
Life that was denied to me
Heaven is truly beautiful
Just you wait and see
So live your life, laugh again
Enjoy yourself, be free
Then I know with every breath you take
You'll be taking one for me...
