I’m so sorry to hear about YaYa. Blessings on her and on her family.
I saw this announcement for the first time while at work today.
Am so sorry to learn of YaYa’s leaving us - leaving her beloved family and friends and many Freeper friends. Of course, as she has already seen her Lord Jesus face to face —— what joy she has already experienced!
But I want to express sincere sympathies and condolences to her family and friends.
America has lost (another) true Patriot in the very best sense of that word - but heaven has gained one of its citizens up there....and how much fun I know she must be having there!
I too am very glad to have been able to read comments from you, CAL, and so many others who were at the March for Justice....a memory that while 10 years old this fall...is still bright and fresh. So glad to see you post here again.
YaYa123 ALWAYS had the best posts, they - she - kept me grounded when things seemed their darkest sometimes. I would say to myself - well there’s Yaya making such good sense again.
What a smart, informed, cheerful conservative she was and her presence blessed Free Republic all these years.. (no doubt infuriating the Clintonistas who lurked here in 98 and who lurk here still....)
As others have said - we have lost so many it seems - especially lately - Ladyinred and now Yaya.
One thing we know - God, our Father, is very present in our times of trouble, He is very close especially to the brokenhearted, and He sent His Son Jesus specifically (one role) to bind up the brokenhearted.
We miss so many who have left - but I hear Him saying....there are many still here - faithful ones who are still needed to fight the good fight ahead....strengthen that which remains.
And it is our Lord God who goes before us in the battle - let’s follow and fight on! In Yaya’s and Ladyinred’s memories, especially.
