I don't want her to go. I've just discovered her and started reading her work and love it. She truly is one of the sweetest people ever. I am hoping the vacancy will be short and she will be back soon.
This is a beautiful tribute, Debi.Wish I had a dozen sixes to show how much it means.

I just reviewed her "last" poem, and choked on my coffee until I read her notes about how people rallied and bought her premium membership! I'm sure you had something to do with that, and if so, thank you. She's a treasure, as are you. This is such a beautiful tip of your hat to her. I'm sure she's touched.

Thank you Laurie, and yes I did. But it was equally Terry in the planning and everyone else that contributed. I am proud to say that Tom had joined in to help make it happen, as usually we can't use gifted or pumps towards memberships and shields. We really do have an amazing second home and family here, don't we? I am so appreciative of all your kind words for Karenina the poem and woman. Thank you so much, my dear friend.

This heartfelt tribute was perfection, Debi. She has been a bright light In the short time I've been here. I can only imagine how fond you are for knowing her so long. Always kind and supportive. I've noticed she goes out of her way traveling this whole site, to make sure one's accomplishment is recognized. My only regret is that I couldn't have known her longer! A beautiful tribute, a beautiful person.

What a great poem for Karen and I agree with every word. I've known her since 2005 and she has always been a strong influence. Her talent and mentorship shaped my wring, her friendship has been a great support and pier.

It was so sweet to write this for her, I am sure Karen loved it.

Thanks so much my dear friend for your very kind comments for Karenina's poem and for sure about her. She is one of the best and now maybe am thinking she will be popping in more than we once thought. Thank you for your six stars for her and her poem.

This is a beautiful tribute to Karenina. I was sad when I read her post that she was leaving Fan Story. But everyone has to decide what is best for them. I have always enjoyed her contributions.

Anne, thank you so much for such a lovely review as always. Once again your kindness means so much to me, just as you do. We are still hoping that it is possible for her to be like that butterfly and come and go, and the one thing we know about Karenina, is that if she can, she will. I appreciate your lovely comments for her poem as I do for your comments for her as a remarkable woman that she is. She is special beyond special!
Thank you also for your gracious gift of six stars my sweet friend.

What a lovely poem, and a beautiful expression of love and appreciation for Karenina. I'm sad that such a talented writer is leaving FS, but our prayers go with her for whatever she undertakes next. Great rhymes, and I like the 'apple of the eye' phrase in each verse. Nicely written. Blessings. Carol
