Simple Remembrances of ECBG

beach-mom — Sun, 01 Sep 2024 20:07:38 GMT

I was almost through writing this when a notice came up saying it was now a "read only" thread and I couldn't post. (?) I can't believe we are not able to post our remembrances. So I will try to post here. I tried to remember what I had written, but I probably forgot something!

I'm just logging on today.

I literally said, "Oh no," out loud when I read your first post @TheWanderingOne. Thank you so much for letting us know. Thank you @TheMemphisVette for posting her beautiful obituary.

I had been praying for her daily, but mistakingly assumed she was better.

There are beautiful posts in tribute to her here.

I have shared my participation in the forums with some people. They don't understand how I could feel close to my fellow posters. They sometimes comment about "real friends." What they don't know is I have shared things with my online friends I don't share with anyone else, and yes, I feel very close to you all, and I do consider you "real friends."

I remember "daughter-in-love," a term I had never heard before. I remember Biltmore and the mountains. I remember her love of crafts and decorating, and her fashion advice. I always looked forward to her posts.

We may not "know" each other in the traditional way, but one day we will. And ECBG will probably be there with a smile on her face and food for all of us.

I will be praying for her family, her friends, her former students, and US. We will miss her.

@beach-mom

The other thread is back to allowing replies if you care to post there.

@geezerette - Thank you. I wonder what happened? Should I request the moderators move it there? And if so, how do I do that?

I just wanted to share what was on my heart.

@beach-mom, It appeared the thread was only temporarily locked while the moderators removed a few posts. You might wish to add your post there, for continuity, as @geezerette mentioned.❤️

Thanks @dooBdoo - how do I do that? I don't think we're allowed to post the same thing on two different forums. I do agree with you it would be better for continuity.

@beach-mom,

Oops, just saw your reply!

You can ask the moderators to move it.😊 You can click on the "Report" feature to ask, or send an email message to QVCSocialTeam@qvc.com. I don't know of anything else you might do to catch their attention.
Your comments and remembrance of our friend were lovely, reflecting your gracious and sensitive spirit, and you touch my heart.❤️

@beach-mom I wasn't on here when she was here, but what a beautiful heartfelt tribute. She sounded like a beautiful soul. It's good to know there are some who still appreciate others unique inner beauty, and extend such kindness as you have.

@beach-mom , I am thankful to have you beach- as a friend.Reading your message today made me thankful for a person like you. I am down today. I loved readingECBG . Had prayed when she was going to go to home and get help she was needing. My heart is so sad .Was so looking forward to her returning feeling great. I just can't belive she has passed. Sligo

I'm shocked and very sad....

Where can I find the thread commemorating her. This is sad. We can become close to some posters. I for one have. In fact, for over 20 years I have had a friend from this board. We go through the highs and lows of life together. We have never met in person, but we are very close. ECBG is a long time poster, a very kind one at that. I am not able to read what happened exactly, but thanks for letting us know

@KittySoftPaws and @sligo - She WAS a beautiful person, inside and out. She was a kind person who willingly shared her life, with its ups and downs with the rest of us.

We will lean on each other for comfort. Our circle is like no other. As time goes by we will remember her and Andrea and others here we have lost, and we will smile and talk about the times they posted.

This is really, truly heartbreaking to read that ECBG has passed. I was praying that she would get better and I can't believe that she's gone. I was so worried about her when she wrote her latest thread about her leg pain and trouble moving. RIP ECBG- she was a gifted artist, a woman who loved fashion and color theory and she put great outfits together on Outfit of the Day. ECBG helped me determine that I'm a "Spring" color season on the QVC forum, and I will think of her fondly and think of her when I look at my Spring color swatch cards when I shop. God bless ECBG. I know I've never met her, but this brings tears to my eyes.

General thoughts:

When our work here on earth is done, we will be called home. No one knows when that moment will arrive. It takes many of us by surprise.

Live as though tomorrow may not come. Be present. Remember the past. Be prepared for the future.

To do list for myself: Identify someone close to let my posting friends know that I have gone home.

What a wonderful post ! Your words are so kind and we will all miss her posts and pray comfort to her family.

@shoekitty Several months ago Cathy fell down some stairs and developed a blood clot in her leg. The fall also effected her mobility. In the past month things got much worse. She wasn't able to walk and she had trouble breathing. She was encouraged to go to the ER but seemed to think that she wasn't breathing well b/c she wasn't moving. About 10 days ago she posted that she was in the hospital with low salts.

It was nice of QVC to post 5his on the funeral home website.
