*** WALL OF ANGELS ***
Comments
-
When I first created the "THE GARDEN OF ANGELS" post never I thought that such important post would ever be lost... but apparently it was;
I asked for "it" to be "pinned" to no response, and before I took my break from this site, I had asked the Moderators to find it, but again never received an answer.
That post was created to help us all commemorate and honor our BC.Org sisters' life by either planting a flower, a tree or simply by donating some time/money towards any good cause in the name of our falling Angels. More so to let us never forget what the "BC" word can do to anyone's life in a matter of "seconds"!
The following is once again a tribute to our falling Angels.
Please make sure that you have the permission from our falling Angel(s)' family when you post a picture of our Angel as we do not want to offend anyone in any shape or form; this is not an exploitation type of post, this is a tribute.
PS: This thread belongs to BC.Org and no one else.
If any rights are to be "claimed", BC.Org is the one to have them since they allow us to post this tribute. Thank you.
This is 3strikes, (Diane's) cat (sorry, I forget his/her name), and the sexy leg is none other than our Diane. We lost her in 2007:
This is a fleece blanket we did for 3Strikes. dressmaker also made a beautiful quilt (of which unfortunatley I have no picture of):

This is a beautiful idea Lilia. We had a lot of trouble recreating the List of Angels from the wonderful Garden of Angels thread that you had originally started, which got lost from the boards. It took quite a while and a lot of requests but it was finally re-printed from a poster's personal computer after quite a bit of confusion. It was out-of-date. I requested that it be pinned so we would not lose it again. I went thru all of the posts in the Commemorating forum for names that people wanted to be added to the list and i added them, plus a few that i knew of from the chatroom.
I love your idea and your creativity. We have missed you here. I love the idea of permanent memorials on the boards for our lost sisters. The photos of sisters would be wonderful to have. I hope we can get your new thread pinned also. Thank you so much.

Lilia, You may be Naughty By Nature, but you are sincerely Nice From the Heart. This is a beautiful tribute. I too, have been away from the boards and was so saddened by the many new Angels upon my return.
Always In Our Hearts!
Blessings to you all!

Hi Traci, girls: I can't see Erin's picture.

To all fallen angels... we miss you dearly...

I miss our girls ...... I didn't know Tinkerbelle or Jen, but seeing the faces of girls just alive, just smiling, is heartbreaking.

I saw Diane's quilt and had forgotten that used to be my nickname here.

I never saw this thread before. It's beautiful, and broke my heart. I have often wondered about adding pictures of our sisters to the "Garden of Angels," and think this is a wonderful tribute.
Love and prayers, Deb -
What a beautiful soft fleece w/ a touch of love from everyone....
Saying a sweet prayer for all the Angels....

I do not have a picture of Jacqueline. She passed away October 1st or 2nd/2008. We met through the boards and had a short but deep friendship. I would phone her and her voice would lift in a breathless, "Oh, hi Regina!. I will miss her.

I just received the news by email from her husband that - hshi - Cindy passed away November 18, 2008. She had 4 children she loved deeply - Daughters 10, 8, 6, and son 4.
I knew Cindy from chat and we emailed back and forth. Her husband was clearing her email account and came across my name. We spoke a couple of times on the phone. I know she was very young but not her exact age. I will miss her.
