Re: ECBG update

[ Edited ]


@mspemberly, Your lovely post, with photos and poetry, brought more tears to my eyes.  
You reminded me that Cathy often was one of the first to comfort others, who were expressing their personal grief and pain, by posting this poem by Henry Scott-Holland.  
I found it in her photos, and felt as though she was talking to us through this,

"from somewhere very near, just round the corner".  
She said it was a favorite, and comforting to her.
I saw that she commented that she wished she had this to read and reflect upon when her son, Josh, passed away.  


From ECBG's album, Cathy's poem:

I am very sorry for your sadness.

We simply cannot know the private lives and deep concerns of others' lives sometimes.

I am certain that ECBG went to heaven knowing her friends here supported her and were surrounding her with love.❤️

I’m new on this forum and I know I don’t know her like everyone else here does, but I’m still sad to hear of her passing. It sounds like she was well loved by her family and everyone here. What a great person she was. Rip.🥲

It was nice of someone at QVC to post this on the funeral home website.  Maybe the mods?

She will be missed. We shared the same name. Always read her posts. Loved her clothes.

I was stunned to read this news.  So very sad for her family and friends and also those of us used to seeing her posts on these boards.  Heart

 

She was a long-time poster and I saw that someone at QVC left a message on the funeral home's website on behalf of everyone here.  I think that was a very thoughtful gesture.

The love shown for ECBG is such a true inspiration for friendship.  She felt the love and returned the love throughout all her posts.  Friends are treasures then - now - always.

Sometimes I wondered what ECBG meant and since reading the obituary I saw that the CBG stood for her initials but don't know what E meant. Cathy along with her former initial B and G her married initial. It was so unusual.
