A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....06-16-03....A Celebration of Whoever

ru4Liberty; Billie; Friends of Whoever

[Mo1]

For years, Whoever wanted me to join FR and post. Well, for one reason or other I didn't. She teased me endlessly and of course it eventually became a "thing" between us. So after all those yrs, I did indeed join. I could not miss this celebration of my "bestest" pal.

Thank you for sharing the story of your friendship with Whoever

Welcome to Free Republic

[LadyX]

Precious are some Freep mails received from whoever; preserved, fortunately.

To all who knew her, she was always a blessing and an inspiration,
and one of God's brightest lights has left what we know as earthly life.

Her faith was rock solid, and decorated wonderfully the tapestry of her life - -
one all who viewed it, saw it as a most beautiful one to behold!

Now and then she'd ask me if her posts were too bold - too 'preachy' -
and always the answer was "No, dear who - we all clamor for more!"

We were the delighted recipients of her wit and wisdom and encouragement,
and ever so gently, we, too, were immersed in her love of our Lord.

Sometimes I'd address her as " whoever - wherever you are - - "
There is nothing but joy this day, knowing where that is !!

In II Timothy, Chapter 4, Paul says,

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith:
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord,
the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only,
but unto all them that also love his appearing."

Whoever surely deserves the crowns that will be bestowed by a loving God!
Every person among the mortals she touched will sparkle as a single jewel on them.
Can you imagine how many that will be?!!

If you're looking down on this thread, who, we now can see you clearly - - -
you shine in the heavens with His Radiance, smiling, and shouting with delight,
"See? I told you how glorious it would be!!
Can't wait until you are here to see for yourself !"

For ourselves, we weep - for you, beloved who, we rejoice - - -

Hope to meet you there, dear who - -

How perfectly beautiful, Aquamarine!

Thank you so very much....

Thank you, whoever.....for the bears, for the smiles, but, most of all, for the Light you brought to us through your beautiful faith.

You were a precious gift to us. You touched many lives here. Dear who, you will be missed.

[Aquamarine]

Thanks Lady. I had that post removed after looking at the lyrics, it just wasn't the right song for today.

[Luce]

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.

by Alfred, Lord Tennyson

RIP, my friend.

Yes, RGF...what better place for us to gather in memory. We all spent so much time together and how fitting we all be here to rejoice in our friend....All of us are blessed for having known her.

[Mama_Bear]

I'm sorry. I don't know where my head is today. I had intended to thank you, Billie and RU, for this lovely Celebration of Life for our departed friend, whoever. So beautifully done. Thank you.

And, Louie, that is such a pretty graphic you made for her. She loved you, your sense of humor and the graphics you gave her. I know she will be deeply touched by this one, too.

[JustAmy]

Like everyone, I miss and will continue to miss Who. She and I enjoyed our battling jokes and we both enjoy kittens. Thank you, Ru, for sharing and Thank You, Billie, for a beautiful tribute to Whoever.

Whoever, this is for you!!

When nothing's clear or right
I bow my head and look above
For courage and insight

The darkness can be heavy
And lonely in the night
But a ray of hope remains
From His faithful, lasting light

Please shine along the pathway
When I'm weary of the fight
Your love's a constant beacon
Oh so vigilant and bright

You gave me lots of smiles and I miss you and your posts!

Thank you for this beautiful thread about a beautiful person, who will be sorely missed by many.....

whoever was one of the first 'friendly faces' I met on FR, inspirational in her testimony, and full of humor and cheer.

I am thankful that I will see her in person some day, when I join her at the feet of our Savior!

[Billie]

Thank you for joining FR just to 'be with' who today, ale. I hope you return. FR - and the Finest, in particular, I think who testified - is a really nice place with a lot of nice people.

[Billie]

Afternoon, habs. Dave's post was indeed a "Wow" post. :)

[Billie]

Hi, Free - how do they know? :) The calendar pages are so often appropriate for our thread of the day.

[JustAmy]

Just a ping to call you to the Whoever thread.
She will be missed. RIP sweet, Who.

[JulieRNR21]

I didn't have a personal connection with whoever as many of you did but her spirit, wit and sweetness came through every post we exchanged.

Whoever's faith is an inspiration and a comfort to me. I believe that her prayers have helped me in accepting God's Will in my own life. At the present time, I am facing the loss due to cancer of a very dear friend, Marie.

Thanks to the sharing of whoever's testimony in which she was looking forward to seeing Jesus' face; I now am feeling more peaceful and comforted.

I trust that dear whoever's sweet spirit will continue to bless and inspire all whose lives she touched on FR.

Thank you sweet whoever..........

[Billie]

Her faith was rock solid, and decorated wonderfully the tapestry of her life - - one all who viewed it, saw it as a most beautiful one to behold!

Your word picture fits her perfectly ;) One of her mails to me detailed how anxious she was to be in Heaven, and her closing words to that mail I'll always remember. She said, "Come join me, won't you?" We'll have tea together for real one day.

[Billie]

Dear who, you will be missed.

Thank you, Lori, and she will be - she has been. Though just think how happy she must be now. :)

[Billie]

Thanks for joining us today in remembering whoever, Luce.

[Aeronaut]

Good afternoon Billie. I left on a trip before this got posted.
