Dear DUers, I have Heartbreaking and shocking [View all]

Last edited Sun Aug 27, 2023, 08:25 PM - Edit history (1)

news to share..

My Friend and Fellow DU member "Me" has passed away.

I can't believe I have to write these words.. I'm still in shock. She was an Outstanding, Compassionate Democrat.. And a Kind and Supportive Friend for Many Years on DU.

I never met her in person.. she lived in Manhattan but we sent Birthday and Christmas cards to each other and she'd be there with Compassion and Empathy whenever I needed her. And, I was there for her.

I will miss Her more than I can say. Hug your Friends and Loved ones.

ETA~ So Sorry I had left the "r" out of FRIENDS! AS in Hug Them!
