Liz, thanks for your very kind words for Katharine and her poem. I truly appreciate it.

Did you ever get that scam fixed or did anyone make good. I have been watching to see if you had written about it here, but I didn''t see anything yet.
Gosh, I hope that you got your money back and that you are getting published. Take care, dear friend and I thank you again.
Love, Debi

Thank you for this beautiful poem about Katharine and the loss of her beloved sister. I read this poem when you first posted but couldn't respond because of thoughts of the loss of my own younger sister just eight months ago, two days after my birthday.

I always delight and marvel over how much information you are able to put into a rhyming poem that gives it an almost musical tone. My prayers are for Katharine's peace. I know how she feels. Thank you again, Debi.

Hi Lorraine, I thought of you when I was writing this for Katharine. I will never forget when you pm'd me last year shortly after your birthday. And I felt like I knew her from writing about you guys singing together. I remember your poem well.

Thank you for such a kind message for Katharine and I know she appreciates the prayers. She is reading these and said they have helped so much to feel all the love from everyone here. I just wish I could have done this for you too, but at that time you just wanted the privacy. So I hope you are ok. That was kind of you to review this.
Thanks again, dear friend. Love, Debi

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my only sister in 2017 and l'm still missing her and grieve. She died in her sleep and l wasn't there with her. Eventually the pain will lessen. My prayers are with you.

Oh gosh, this is so heart breaking to hear... To lose a sister or any family member is difficult. I will certainly write to Katherine as we are friends.

I can definitely relate to Poem Lovers sorry. I lost one of my brothers to cancer in January. And my only sister suffered a stroke 1 1/2 years ago. They were who I did a lot of fun things with. Now my brothers gone and my sister is paralyzed on her left side and in an acute care facility. I really miss them... especially since I am the oldest of us siblings. Give hugs, kisses when you can and create those memories along the way to cherish later.
Thanks for sharing this with us.

This is so heartbreaking to here, someone who I worked with recently had a heart attack and the ambulance got there too late to save them, that's what makes it even more devastating and even more of a shock. An excellent piece of writing Debi.

Hi Marival, I know what you mean as I lost two brothers in their forties and still miss them so much. So make sure you hold on tight to the sister you have. I try to do that with the one brother that I have and my three older sisters. They are my half sisters but I never knew any different as they were there when I was born. Their mom died when they were 2,3 & 4. Then my day met my mom when she was right out of college and they married a year later. She not only fell in love with him, but became an instant mother to the girls and was a mom of seven kids before she was 25, plus when she could started teaching. And was like a mom to them. So I guess what I meant to say before I got carried away about my mom again, is that my three sisters are so important to me too.

Thank you for such a kind message for Katharine and I know she appreciates the prayers. She is reading these and said they have helped so much to feel all the love from everyone here.
Thanks again, dear friend. Love, Debi

You have boosted my belief in humans. This is simply perfection. It displays a genuine concern for others, not seen all that too today. It shows compassion and most of all in conveys love. If only this world had more people like you. Debi, your generosity-of-spirit is what is most lacking in today's world. You are an inspiration. You also write pretty well. I'm so jealous.
