Blue Monday - A Tribute to Smiling Sally







There is sad news in blog land today.
I had written a post for
Blue Monday
and went over to get the link for my post
only to find a message from Sally
written before she died recently.



This is what she wrote.

"If you're reading this, I've gone to Heaven. 
I've been under Hospice care since May, but I 
didn't want to mention it."

Sally was a woman of strong faith and you can read her post

here



Rest in Peace


Sally






I've only been participating in Blue Monday
for five short weeks.
However, Smiling Sally started her link party
in 2008 and from the messages on her blog
many bloggers have been there since day one.

Without meeting Sally
I know she was a gracious lady
and the many tributes I've read tonight confirm this.


Thank you for visiting

Take care and
be kind to one another.

à bientôt



Shane

  3. I got to hear of Sally from other's posts of her passing - she was definitely loved by so many.
    It's very sad when dear people go before their time, and doubly so when they have carried the huge burden of a lingering illness. I recently loss a friend to pancreatic cancer - she fought so hard and was so brave despite knowing she would not beat it. I know these ladies are in a good place now and free of their pain.

    Take are dear Shane -
    Hugs, Mary

  4. I've noticed in recent months just how important my circle of friends in the blogosphere have become to me; many I'll likely never meet face-to-face in this lifetime, but who may just well know me better than long-time face-to-face friends who don't choose to read my blog posts. It is a special world this blogosphere and I am so sorry to learn we've lost one of our own.

  9. This was nice Shane, I didn't participate often once I had my own Monday meme. Sally came across as a cheery person and it is indeed sad to lose another blogging sister.

  15. I just read her post and all the comments and, of course, am now crying. What a loss. I never joined in on Blue Monday but have known about it and her blog for years. I can't believe she was able to leave a final post. She truly must have been an amazing woman. Blessings, Tammy
