	Tags : None i have just received permission from wendy's sister to inform the members of kennedyflairs that wendy has died. she was not well for many years and suffered greatly, especially in recent months, although she rarely spoke of her travails, and never in detail, and did her best to help others as she could. she will be greatly missed, both on this board and on several others in which she took an active role. 08/09/11 20:10:01

10/09/11 08:49:31	Hello, The first thing I did this morning when I woke up was to come here to read messages about the passing of Wendy. Of course, one is moved to tears reading those loving tributes. And I thought suddenly: Wouldn't be nice if someone (with the computer skill to do it,( obviously not me for I have not improved in this respect) managed somehow to put these messages together on a disk or even better, print them on paper and include them with a well-chosen codolences card and send it to the family in the name of this community...Maybe Fruitcake would be able to obtain the address and Shelley sign it for all of us. Just an idea. What do you think? Good day to you all. Chantal

10/09/11 14:16:55	chantal, what a lovely, thoughtful suggestion! thank you. i think it would be preferable to print out the thread. it seems to me that would be more personal and easier for the family to view and share. however, there's no reason why we couldn't do a dvd, as well. unfortunately, i don't have a color printer but i know many here do. and yes, i'd be very happy to provide a mailing address to whomever is elected to select and send the card. serendipitously, on the day we began our remembrances of wendy, kd tweeted this striking image by toulouse-lautrec. i think wendy would have loved him.

10/09/11 15:21:54	Excellent suggestion Chantal. I have a good colour printer and would be happy to do this. Maybe someone else could do it better or more artistically but my hand is up if that is what would be welcome. Obviously Fruitcake would need permission to let me have her address and we should probably wait a while to give other people the chance to post.

10/09/11 15:30:06	I just sent a short email to her family. Wendy was my best friend from the beginning on kf and it breaks my heart very much today. We spent a lot of time to talk together and shared so many things, she was as a sister to me. Without her, the internet won't be same anymore now... I love you Wendy, rest in peace my lovely friend and you will live forever in my heart. Je t'aime, Nathalie. ps: Fruitcake, please if you allow me I'll send you a message in private on the site, maybe tomorrow because my mind and heart are too broken now. Thanks.

10/09/11 19:13:13	I have just heard the news from from Shelley on Twitter! Oh dear....this is just so terrible and unexpected. I have just read all the wonderful tributes to Wendy and realized just how generous and thoughtful she really was. Like many others, I was the recipient of some wonderful kd goodies mailed to me by Wendy with handwritten notes in her lovely writing. We also exchanged some private messages and it always good to hear from her. Thank you Fruitcake for letting us know and please pass along my condolences to Wendy's sister and all her family.

Chantal, your words touched me and I felt as if it should be taken as a valuable consciousness to be attentive in all our actings, to be aware of finiteness and don't let words be unspoken if our hearts feel an actual, honest want to express them. I believe Livingstone's words are poignant for me and far more eloquent than I could be. Recently I came across a lovely photo of some wrinkly Bulldog puppies and thought about sending it to Wendy as I knew she would have enjoyed seeing it. Unfortunately, I struggled with some technical difficulties and gave up rather too easily on my initial thought. I know I shouldn't, but I feel upset and guilty about not making the effort to follow through. She had been kind enough to think of me in the past but I came up rather short of the mark by comparison. "This day is a special day, it is yours. Yesterday slipped away, it cannot be filled anymore with meaning. About tomorrow nothing is known. But this day, today, is yours, make use of it. Today you can make someone happy. Today you can help another. This day is a special day, it is yours."

11/09/11 12:55:09	Please don't thank me Fruitcake. It was neither my intention nor deserved. I was hoping to highlight that a tiny bit of effort on my part could have put a smile, albeit briefly, on Wendy's face at a time when she may have needed it. She deserved more effort but we often do not know the person or situation that lies the other side of the screen. On a positive note, a life lesson learnt.

11/09/11 17:07:43	I was so sorry to read your sad news fruitcake. In the few times that I was priviledged to meet Wendy here at kfs, she came to represent, for me, the ideal of a forum friend whom I hope some day to emmulate. For her family, please accept my deepest sympathy.
