My prayers and thought go out to BossLady family.

I truly miss my friend more than words can say. I am happy that she is with God. But I am sad because I am one friend less in a world and time when friends really matter. I will never be able to replace Pat. I am lost and at a loss. I miss her terribly.

Pat will be missed by so many..I know she was suffering so much until the end. Pat is now in Peace. God is with her. No more hurt and pain.
My sympathy goes out to her husband, family and friends. God Bless
BARB

My thoughts and prayers are with Pat's family in thier time of sorrow. She will be sadly missed by many!

To any and all who are in sorrow due to the passing of Pat, please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time - She was a very sweet woman and I'm sure that God is happy to have her home

I have known Pat both here and on Dailygammon...and am very sad to hear of her passing...she fought a long battle against her cancer and continued as long as she could playing on this site that she loved so much...my prayers go out to her husband and her family in their time of sorrow...as I know many of us feel the same sorrow for her loss...

Oceans Apart: yes Ali I agree with you suggestion.

she will be sadly miss she was always a friend

WellyWales: Thanks so much Welly for letting us know. She will be sadly missed. She was a lotta fun and i got to know her a little..

WellyWales: oh that is sad news!!!!!!!!!!!!1 thank you for sharing the article. I didn't get to know her that well but enjoyed our visits.

WellyWales: she is at peace now

As we can all see Pat had a lifelong membership here, i am going to ask Fencer if he could set up a tournament in her memory and offer a free membership of some description, Pat would have approved of that, what do u think, please let me know.

WellyWales:

My dearest Pat, you will be sadly missed, thank you for all the many fun games we had, you were a true lady and one that will be missed so much .

                                rest in peace my love

It is heartbreaking for TJ and myself to announce that BossLady (Pat) passed away on 27th June 2007, she will be badly missed by us all, we are lost for words at this moment

alanback: Thank you.. I will send it to my grandaughter. It is very nice. Looks great, too. lol

Jules:  There are no parts :-)

alanback: Don't they say the whole is greater then it's parts.

Jules:  A beautiful thought, which reminds me of this quote from Rabbi David Cooper:

"there are few, if any, fully enlightened people, . . . but there are untold numbers of enlightened acts."

Jules:

In this life we cannot do great things.
We can only do small things with great love.

Let's try again.

New Life

When Life begins, God is there.
Life coalesces in the field of unversal energy.
Life from Life, joy from joy!
Each being throughout eternity
Shares itself when Life is needed
And draws Life in return.
New Life, new strength, new joy!
Joy is energy, energy joy.
A new heart beats at the frequency of the Universe.
There is One Life, timeless and Universal.
Atoms touch across imaginary light years.
Energy pervades time, unites all Life and matter.
Every born and unborn wave and particle
Harmonizes in the Song of Life unending.
New Life yet not new,
Organizing ageless atoms in new forms.
Particles appear and fade,
Now light, now matter,
Now you, now me,
And always God.
Child of Light, my soul embraces you,
Sings your Song,
Warms to your vibration,
Sees your energy swirl
Like a galaxy of a trillion suns.
Sharing songs that will be new
When all these stars are dust.
We resonate with energy of far souls,
Sending messages that arrive at once
And are answered before they arrive!
Time and space do not constrain our energy and joy.
Joy wells unsummoned, pervasive and intangible.
Joy is God, God Joy.
Bathed as we are in the depthless field of Joy,
We share and grow together.
You and I are one with all Creation and the Uncreated,
Sharing Love, sharing Joy, sharing God.
I bless you and receive your blessing,
Touch you and absorb your touch,
Join you in joyful meditation
With God the Universal soul,
Mindful in ecstatic peace.

Pbarb2: Congrats Pbarb

Pbarb2: Congratulations barb what I saw and dreamed and me pestering you in wishing you was a Mod lol of this board all came true

I know in my heart you'll do a fine job.

Abby is expecting our first great grandchild. She found out yesterday that she is having a little girl. Abby is very young and I pray to God that she carries this baby thru and will be a good mother. Sometimes we can't tell what our children/grandchildren will do or how they grow up. In this case she really needs our prayers.
With our family love I pray she will do well.
God Bless

Pbarb2:

Tigger: and Rose
I will try my best. This board does mean allot to me.
God Bless
