A great dedication, Dean. You couldn't have written it any better. I don't remember Maureen Napier that well, but I always remember her being nice and a really good person.

Hi. She was a wonderful person.The first one on this site to 'take me under her wing'. Your poem and pictures caught her essence. I appreciate it.
I do think of her everytime I read a poem of the sea or love, I miss her 'sigh', I miss her just being there.
Odd that, I never met her, never talked and yet she touched my life and very deeply.
Thanks,
paadumachitta

good morning dean

a nod indeed
you bring tears to the eyes and soul with this entry
pam was a in a league all her own with her entries
and yes
passion for life love and more
her endless energy amazed me always
I began to know of pam and her work back in 2005

thank you for sharing your tribute and talent
this is lovely poetry
poetry in gungalo style

it still does not seem real that pam has passed
it's as if this is a mistake and it is someone else

have a wonderful morning and day
ann marie


PS
I am certain pam would love this
and yes
either say
muahhh as she did in the past or smile

This is a splendid tribute to your friend, Dean. You express the friendship and the mentoring she offered exceedingly well! Truly good friends are rare, it seems, and Gungalo sounds very much like a wonderful person and great poet. I'm very sorry that she's passed on...

Peace,

Mike

Dean, your words convey the respect and admiration she earned and deserved, not only from you but from so many here on the site. Her written word is surely missed by many.

Hopefully her teaching has impacted not just the poets but all writers here on FS.

Again, a very nice tribute both in poem and your notes.

Respectfully.... John

How sweet of you, dear! I have never known Gungalo that well, but I am overwhelmed of how she was loved by amazing people in this site. I suddenly missed reading her works.

How are you dear? c", Mae

    I'm doing okay. Got a touch of pneumonia. Lord knows how that happened in the tail end of summer, but I did.

    Thanks so much for the review. :)

Hi Dean - As always, a well crafted poem, also a lovely poem keeping Pam's memory alive for the readers. Very good rhyming couplets with words that flow along effortlessly. The only line I feel was not worthy of a place in this lovely poem, is the second line of your first stanza. We should not assume that we know what other writers are thinking - but this is a teeny quibble. The whole of the poem is majestic with a stunning moving picture. I wish I could make them - this one in particular is gorgeous. Warm regards Dorothy x ps Very moving author notes x
