A Beloved FReeper has passed away

It is with the profoundest grief that I inform Free Republic that one of the most inspirational and influential FReepers has passed away. Alia was my wife for 28 years and through thick and thin, she was my bulwark. She was also a devoted member here and I believe an important contributor. She passed from this vale of tears this past night at 1 am. Please find a moment in your day today to remember her in prayer.

+Jesus+ said, Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself: that where I am, there ye may be also.

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. I go to prepare a place for you…and I will come back and take you to be with me. …Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

John 14: 1-4, 27

Terribly sad news this morning. Prayers for Alia, and for the family.

[stratman1969]

My deepest condolences and prayers to you and your family. Alia and I communicated quite frequently when the topic of San Francisco corruption and stories related to People’s Temple came into the news. Like so many of us here, I’ll miss communicating with her.

I am deeply sorry. I exchanged many lengthy notes with her on another forum about San Francisco and Oakland and had no idea that she was ill. She was a shining light with an incisive intellect. We will miss her.
