Goodbye, Bee...

[pattrose]

Bee, Slipperieslope, bought my stories at Moonridge every year and when I started a yahoo list of a new series called Family Life, she asked about it and joined in. She gave me pages and pages of ideas for stories. She loved the series. I was so sad to come on tonight and read that she had passed away in her sleep. I'm going to dedicate the next five stories to her and they will be her ideas that she gave me. I'm so, so sad. It's hard losing anyone in the fandom, but she was extra special. I'll miss her like crazy and hope she's happy wherever she is. Thank you, Bee, for being such a good friend.

Hugs, Patt

Update: I saw in her obituary that she was only 56. That's scary. She was younger then me and that's just not fair.

She was a dear and good friend to me. I'm devastated. She picked up a huge plothole for me in one of my recent TS stories. She was never afraid to let me know I slipped up but always generous with her praise. I'll miss her so much. This has been such an awful year laready for losing people I love.

Bless you, Bee. I miss you already.

Sending lots of hugs. I'm sad, too. I'm so shocked.

She was one of my first fandom friends. I'm so very sad.

Hugs to you.

Bee has been my fandom friend for many years. She always sent feedback for every story I wrote and was a staunch fan of the TS fandom, the show and its writers. I shall miss her sunny emails and lovely feedback so very much.

Same here, she was so good about giving me story ideas. I can't believe she's gone. I agree with Annie, this year sucks so far.

Thank you Patt for posting this lovely picture and dedication. I still can't believe I won't be sharing stories and opinions with dear Bee.

Can I suggest that you unlock this post so it can be shared more widely?

[pattrose.livejournal.com]

I unlocked it. I wasn't even thinking.

Absolutely understandable -- how can anyone think straight after such terrible news. I just wanted to link to it when I made the announcement at TS News. Hugs, sweetie.

I'm sorry for your loss, Patt *hugs*.

I'm sorry you never got to know her. She was the best.
