Our good friend Darlene Brennan, known as the feisty SheLion here on Free Republic has passed away. We had an inkling that she was sick, but she kept her own counsel when we would ask about her declining posts on FR.

We'll all miss one tough fighter for freedom.

God bless Darlene Brennan

[Hegemony Cricket]

Wow, she was feisty - I never would have guessed 65...

So sorry to hear that.

[johnny7]

Sad to hear... I remember her posts.

[metesky]

Our friend has passed away.

[AliVeritas]

May God bless her family and give them comfort and strength. Now they have help in heaven.

[Just another Joe]

Holy ****.
I had no idea.

RIP She.
You fought the good fight.
You tried to educate people about the dangers of incremental socialism.

Rest now and know that others will carry on.

[Pharmboy]

So sad to hear. Another Freeper original gone.

RIP Darlene.

Born in Thomas, West Virginia. Now that, folks, was a small town girl. Beautiful country there and I’m sure she’s returned to someplace equally beautiful.

[LonePalm]

Prayers up for Darlene and family.

Notre père, qui êtes aux cieux!
Que votre nom soit sanctificié. Que votre règne vienne.
Que votre volonté soit faite, sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donnez-nous aujourd'hui notre poindre ce jour.
Pardonnez-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi a ceux, qui nous ont offensés,
et ne nous soumetez pas à la tentation, mais délivrez-nous du mal.
Car c'est à toi qu'appartiènne, le régne, la puissance et la gloire, pour les siècles des siècles.
Amen.

Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)
LonePalm, le Républicain du verre cassé (The Broken Glass Republican)

Oh lord... she'll be missed.

May God bless her and comfort her family and friends.

[Madame Dufarge]

Our sweet Darlene was posting to prayer threads for other FReepers almost to the end.

RIP Darlene, you were so much better than your attackers.

[ChuckHam]

RIP Darlene. You’ll be missed.

[retrokitten]

I’m very sorry to hear that. Prayers for her and her family.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Oh, No! I noticed she wasn’t around as much, but I just figured it was the normal ebb and flow of our busy lives.

She will be missed. RIP, SheLion.

[sockmonkey]

One of my favorite Freepers. Feisty, Informed, and indeed a fighter for our declining rights.

She will be missed. God Speed, SheLion. Prayers for the repose of your soul, and for your FRiends and family left behind.

[theDentist]

G’bye SheLion. We’ll miss you terribly, and weep bitter tears for our loss of you.

[The Mayor]

OMG.... I had no idea.
Prayers for her family.
We go back many years.

[mommadooo3]

The world is a poorer place.(sigh)

[tiredoflaundry]

Eternal rest, grant unto her Oh Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her, may she rest in peace. Amen

Sad, very sad........... prayers for her family also.

[who knows what evil?]

We'll all miss one tough fighter for freedom.

Indeed. Rest in Peace, Darlene.

[Bahbah]

I liked SheLion lots. She was a gutsy gal.

May her soul rest in peace and her family be comforted.

[MinuteGal]

Heartfelt sympathy to the family and friends of our dear freeper sister, SheLion.

Over the years, we had a lot of freepmail correspondence. She was always upbeat, witty, intelligent....she cut to the chase and had much inner strength.

God rest her soul. We will sorely miss her here at FR.

[mware]

Brings the words of St Paul to mind.

I have fought the fight. I have finished the race

[John W]

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord.
And let perpetual light shine upon her.

May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Amen.

[OpusatFR]

Oh no.

I admired her posts very much. Had not seen any posts from her in awhile.

Rest in peace in the arms of God. Much sympathy for the family.

[AppyPappy]

She fit in good here and stood her ground well. She will be missed.

[TheMom]

I always enjoyed reading her post. May she rest in peace.

[Sunshine Sister]

Oh my God. I have lost a good friend even though we never met in person. Rest in peace dear Darlene.

[relictele]

RIP - I drove through Thomas WV last week. Neat little town.

[CAluvdubya]

I always enjoyed your posts, Shelion. You will be missed very much!

Bless you and your family.

[Ditter]

R.I.P. freeper friend.

[Ezekiel]

Sad day. She was such a sweetheart and kept her sense of humor, even under the oppressive Baldacci regime. She certainly persevered, and mustered amazing strength after the sudden passing of her husband. God grant her peace. RIP, Darlene. You sure will be missed.

[NonValueAdded]

Oh my, there was a Down East FReeper I could count on for all things Maine. Prayers for her loved one and may Darlene Rest In Peace.

[Ghengis]

Prayers for family and loved ones. She dearly loved personal liberty and NASACR as I recall on the FR threads.

[CSM]

Thank you for this ping. I was concerned that her posting was decling, however I had no idea that she was ill.

God be with her family in this time of sadness, but I will celebrate her feisty spirit while knowing she is now holding her beloved husband’s hand.

[dandelion]

God bless this brave and powerful woman, even as He blessed *us* with her presence...

This world exalts that which does not matter - beauty, wealth, fame; but in the world to which Darlene has gone, all that which she is will be celebrated in the Halls of God. Brave, loyal, and humble, the great and wonderful SheLion basking in the presence of her King!

[Alter Kaker]

RIP Darlene, you were so much better than your attackers.

So you're going to try to use this thread to bludgeon those of us who frequently disagreed with her? Real classy.

RIP SheLion.

[PA Engineer]

Oh no. RIP SheLion. Prayers for her family.

[Girlene]

Our sweet Darlene was posting to prayer threads for other FReepers almost to the end.

What a lovely tribute to SheLion, Madame Dufarge. May her family find comfort as they grieve their loss.
