Kristine, also known to her many friends on these threads as FBB, passed away on July 22. She was loved by so many, showed true courage, strength, humour and compassion for others, even in her own personal darkest, scariest times. She will truly be missed.

    I will miss our fierce Bluebird so much. She was so supportive. I loved her wit. She was intelligent and sensitive as well as fierce. She said once that bluebirds weren't very fierce, really, which is why they are in decline. Our bluebird was fierce, strong and loving!

    Thank you for your friendship, support and the laughs, Bluebird. I will miss you. I will always remember you.

    FierceBluebird's tagline said...

    When I feel fear, I go where the wood duck rests his beauty on the water and the heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not live with grief. Above me stars are waiting with their light. I rest in God’s grace and am free.

    Go, dear friend, to those stars and their beautiful light, be free and live in God's complete grace.

    Until we meet again,

    Bailey

    When the shadows of this life have gone
    I'll fly away
    Like a bird from these prison walls I'll fly
    I'll fly away

    I'll fly away, oh glory
    I'll fly away in the morning
    When I die hallelujah by and by
    I'll fly away

    "I'll Fly Away" by Albert Brumley, 1932

    Good-bye, FierceBlueBird.  Soar in heaven's sunshine, and may your grieving family be granted peace.

    You're welcome, HoleinOne. She posted it herself on the Moving On....After the Flap thread around the Fourth of July before she got her latest test results, I believe. The fact that she checked in and kept up with us there, after losing a flap and a recurrence, shows how kind --and strong--she was. We all say the same things about her: kind, witty, strong, intelligent. She touched us all.

    some of us knew her through words.  Some were blessed to know her personally.  But all of us are better for it.  May her memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved Kristine.  She so generously shared herself and now we each have a tiny piece if her to cling to in our sadness.

    After I had my breast skin biopsy while waiting for results,
    I stuck my head in the sand and trying my best to stay positive. I felt soft
    feathers next to my head and a comforting voice telling me: “it’s nothing.”
    That was bluebird’s voice less than two month ago, and she was right. I believe
    she was already an angel in training. I know she is flying again, for she has
    her angel’s wings.

    My heart goes out to FBB's family. She was always so upbeat and kind to all of us on the insomniac thread. Beautiful soul. I will miss her so much.

    Friends,

        This is just not fair.  I am so angry that we have lost another beloved sister to this beast.   FBB, fly free now!  The rest of us have so much work to do here to stop this scourge.

    I was friends with Kristine on her Bluebird Acres Facebook page. I found her husband Steve's message very comforting. It seems fitting to share that with you all, so I have copied it for you to paste here.

    Bluebird Acres

    15 hours ago

    From Kris' immediate family: Steve ( i'm not Facebook savy but Brie got me here ), Brie and Brett -
    Thank you all for your support and your companionship with Krissy.
    She loves all her family, friends and acquaintances.
    Though she fought a long, brave war with cancer and lost this ( relatively brief) battle her spirit cannot be vanquished as long as we remember her.
