this morning i have been reading my off list posts with patricia (as she always signed herself to me), and they are filled with such true friendship and love. for she was one of the most loving people i have met on the net and it came through to all of us. on my wall is the beautiful print of a tulip she sent, also many photos of the cats and wonderful mailart she covered with stars and kisses. when my dear michael died last december she was there for me in a very special way and in june when my dog kikusan died we exchanged many posts and phone calls. again she was a great comfort and i loved her slogan: ART SAVES LIVES. her brave posts about her illness were always positive and hopeful. the cancer was unable to kill her joy and love and i treasure my good forturne to have her friendship. she is not gone and we will always love her. it was princess petal that gave us permission to send hugs and kisses after our posts. so here's to petal XXXOOO
