Final Words Mean A Lot

Regarding Ruth Sadler (AKA Ms_Figg), currently there is a GoFundMe to help with her Cremation Fund.

If you can find a little spare change, I'm sure it would be appreciated.

This poem is attributed to her. I know there are some grieving friends right now, mourning the loss of friends and family. This poem touched my heart so much. I think it will be with me for a long time.

If I should ever leave you whom I love
To go along the Silent Way, grieve not
Nor speak of me with tears, but laugh and talk
Of me as if I were beside you there.
(I’d come! I’d come, could I but find a way!
But would not tears and grief be barriers?)
And when you hear a song or see a bird
I loved please do not let the thought of me
Be sad, for I am loving you just as
I always have… You were so good to me!
There are so many things I wanted still
To do… so many things to say to you…
Remember that I did not fear… It was just
Leaving you that was so hard to face…
We cannot see Beyond… but this I know…
I loved you so – ‘twas heaven here with you

I didn't know her, but anyone in this fandom is special in my book. That is a touching poem.

Mrs. Figg passed?? Oh no!!!! That's terrible. I'll help as soon as my new, unhacked debit card arrives.

I didn't know Ruth had passed.

It seems like yesterday that we were emailing - I had noticed that she had gone very quiet and wish I had tried to reach out to her instead of just thinking about it.

Thank you for the beautiful poem.

That was absolutely beautiful.

Thank you for sharing the news and the GoFundMe page. Ruth was a lovely person and talented writer, and I am having trouble believing she is gone.
