Debi, you did such a wonderful job it made me tear up. You are right about her, she helped me a lot when I was new, especially the rhymed poetry and she was always so respectful. Well done!

This was a wonderful remembrance of Jan and Abby, I loved her sitting on the swing with Abby at her side. It showed that she loved everyone within her realm. Blessings n Hugs!!!

This was probably one of the sweetest things I've ever read. I was thinking about her the other day. Her stories anmbou her sister and her brother Tim were my favorite. The paranormal studies were very cool. Great job. Gretchen

This is truly a very sweet verse, Debi, and a fine tribute to dear Jan. It's certainly a lovely image of her sitting with Abby on a star. Well done and thanks for sharing and remembering an obviously very special lady! Take care Debbie

When I was taking care of my beloved husband, Jan passed away. She would help me a lot, too. She was the kind of person who kept us on track while we were on Fan Story, how I miss her.

Oh Rosemary, I had no idea that your husband had died. If anyone posted anything, I didn't see it. And if I would have known, I would have posted it. This has to be so hard for you and I my heart is breaking for you and of course, here come the tears. Because you have always been so special to me. Would it be ok if I wrote a little something for you after Thanksgiving? Also, I don't think I have your birthday down??? Please accept my late condolences with deepest sympathy.

I feel so bad I don't know where I was at. Oh, yeah, I do want to thank you for your kind and caring comments for Jan. God Bless, my friend and thank you for those lovely extra stars. We will dedicate them in honor of your husband and Jan.

Debi, please keep it to yourself for a while. It has been a little over a month, our family must get through the holidays; it's not going to be easy. Your comforting words in your comments are enough. Thank you.

reply by Rosemary Everson1 on 22-Nov-2023

Don't feel bad, you didn't know because I haven't mentioneded our loss to many writers. Thank you for always being so kind.

Hi Debi,
This a heartfelt and well done poem honoring Jan on her birthday, even though she recently left us so unexpectedly. She of course is reading this right now and is enjoying the words and the artwork.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
Joan

Jan does sound like someone who was really special, and I'm sad to hear that she's no longer with us, but it's clear that she touched the lives of many. A well written piece Debbie.

Comment from Navada

Excellent

This is a lovely tribute to your friend, accompanied by a moving visual image. I liked the references to astronomy and the support of veterans which gave us a sense of her interests. One of the things that struck me was the picture of the little cat sitting beside her owner - a faithful little companion. It has the same coloured fur as my dearly departed precious little puddy cat. Thank you for the share.

Hi Navada, after reading all your kind words I went to editing and explained that Jan was from here and she had a cat that was much like a child to her. We never did hear what happened to Abby. Anyway, thanks so much for another lovely review. Have a blessed day tomorrow! Love, Debi

reply by Navada on 22-Nov-2023

Thank you for that. I can completely relate. My Sally was my fur baby. I hope Abby found another suitably loving home.
