Like so many, I am saddened to learn that our friend and WP colleague has passed away.
Though we all knew it was inevitable, it still comes as a heavy blow.
We never met, other than the comments sections on our blogs and later personal emails.
Sue had a way of transporting you with her words to places beyond the photographs and what was immediately before you. Her love of nature and observations was something we shared, as was our love of dogs. Ani reminds me so much of Maggie, and Sue did a wonderful piece including her at Christmas in Ani’s Dear Santa posts. Now Ani and Stuart will be a comfort to each other.
Sue was someone who inspired you, brought out the best in you and everyone in so many ways with her writings. Even during these past few months, her spirit, compassion and courage shone through, sharing her thoughts and always an encouragement to others.
Her loss cannot be quantified, and I shall miss her deeply.
On Monday, I wrote this for a photo challenge.
Sue was on my mind, in my uppermost thoughts, and it is for her.
The night has a new light, long may it shine.

You’re there now,
The brightest star,
Dazzling almost blinding,
I know it’s you.
Your energy will never fade,
It just has a new dimension
And perspective.
You have become
The beauty of the night,
A beacon to all,
Showing the way
For all of us,
As you continue to shine.

Lovely thought Di. 💜
Thanks Jen
There have been many delightful tributes to a lovely woman. Yours is up there with the best. Thank you for those words.
Thanks Geoff. Although I never met her, I considered her a friend.
Amen.
Beautiful and tender, Di. I’ll share that with Stuart. Thank you.
Thanks Steve. Thinking of you all.

thank you

What a lovely piece and poem about dear Sue. Thank you. Peace and love. xx, .
Thank you
Truer words were never spoken, Di. Like you I counted Sue a friend, although we’ve never met either. To see the world through Sue’s eyes was, indeed, a special gift for which I am grateful. The poem you have written for her is very beautiful and more than anything, I hope it finds its way to Sue’s two granddaughters. ❤️
thank you so much for your lovely comment Fransi. Steve has promised to forward it to Stuart, so it just might. Sue was a very special lady.
She was indeed ❤️ And you are most welcome. I’ve printed the poem out. Although it is a sad occasion that sparked it, its message is very uplifting and lovely.❤️
How lovely. Thanks.
This is beautiful. I am crying, again ❤️🤗
❤
A perfect tribute to her light and life!
Thank you
I didnt know sue well, but she was a very kind person, whenever I’d participate in the photo prompt, she’d always comment to me! what you wrote here for her di is beautiful. Shine bright sue! Rip!
Bless you Carol Anne
Though I knew it was coming it was still a shock to hear. RIP Sue. We met online and she was part of my weekly prompt schedule. I rarely missed one. She will be missed. What a lovely tribute Di!
Thanks Tessa. I rarely missed her write photos once i discovered them.
I rarely missed them either and wrote a lot of these serial prompt stories using her prompts. I wrote one 30+thousand word story using them once. It will become one of the books in my series. I just have to adjust some of it so it fits into my fictitional town, but it is a mystery story rather than murder. Right now I am thinking about making it book 4.
A beautiful tribute to Sue. ❤
Thanks Charli. She will be so missed.
You are welcome…💕
Reblogged this on The Reluctant Poet.
Thanks for the reblog.
Sue’s words will be missed
I am glad to have some of her writings. She just had a way of ‘putting you there’. It is a great loss.
A beautiful piece. She will be/is missed.
Yes, she is, very much.
