Re: Ladies, It Is With Great Sadness That I Share With You...

So SAD! I too, as one of the 'oldie' posters, used to always read what Indy had to say - it would be terribly funny.....I feel so bad for her husband. I hope he has some help or support...

She will be missed....Smiley Sad

Re: Ladies, It Is With Great Sadness That I Share With You...

I have been going through some old posts, and recalling the wise, and often witty remarks dear Indy posted. Although I never did get the opportunity to meet her in person, I feel so fortunate to have found her through this forum. I am also very fortunate for the other wonderful ladies here. While there are very few who can match her class and grace, there are some. The Ripkanistas know who they are...it isn't an exclusive club...it is just the opposite...it is very inclusive...the only requirement is that you love Judith Ripka jewelry. Indy was a charter member...

Gals, I just found this post by Indy to Judeye from 2012 and thought you'd like to re-read it:

************

"Judeye, I was born in Manhattan but taken to Brazil at the age of 1. My dad was second in command for a company in NY. He was asked to go to Brazil, actually find a location and have the entire factory built from scratch.

He also found the equipment and then had to teach a new staff how to run the business. At that point he became president.

He then retired early and fulfilled his dream of buying a farm in Brazil. Long story short, there was a communist revolution so the farm was sold and we came back to NY.

At this point I was ready to start my career, worked in New York for several years. Had a three month contract in Paris which became the love of my life. I stayed over 2 years and have been back since. Meanwhile I worked all over Europe and my job took me to many exotic countries and to some not exotic but fascinating.

At some point I came home and based my work out of NY. Finally met my DH although marriage was NOT on my agenda. After dating 3 years we married and moved to Williamsburg VA.

So, there you have my life story. Cool "

**************

Rest in Peace, dear Indy....

Indy certainly kept this forum lively, and interesting, with her joyful posts about the new pieces of Judith Ripka jewelry she received. She was a VIP among a great group of gals who rarely, if ever, post on this forum any longer.

Although I never had the pleasure of meeting her in person, we did enjoy forum conversations, coupled with an occasional phone chat/email.

It's so sad that she died too soon, away from family and home. My condolences to her loved ones.
