My deepest sympathies to David and her family and all that knew and loved sweet Dee Dee…
I just know there’s one more angel in heaven taking care of all those we have loved and lost.

I am at a loss for words…except to say that it never fails to amaze me how touched I and so many others have been by this bb. When you get to the Rainbow Bridge, Dublin, we bbers will be there to welcome you in sprirt, through all the wonderful friends we have sent there. Please give them all kisses for us.

Oh my god… I cant stop crying… i didnt even know this woman nor did she know me… but im so upset over this… Wherever you are Dublin, I know you are riding like you know you can and enjoying life over the bridge…

Why is it that eventhough one can be prepared for such a loss, it still doesn’t make it any easier? I will miss DD so much.
I too remember recieving all those unny e-mails not only from DD but Dave sent a few too.
God Bless you Dave, you were her ROCK!! Lucy too will miss her, so hold on to her. I send you both my love.
Godspeed dearest dd.
I didn’t know Dublin nor have I been here long enough to have had the benifit of her posts. However, in reading this thread through the tears, I feel like I did know her. I lost my Mom in much the same way last year and I understand the releif of seeing your loved one finally free of the pain and sickness, yet it is so hard to let go. Dave and Dee Dees family, I hope you will find peace in knowing that her sprit will stay with you.
Sincerely, Gail
I’ll get you my pretty…and your little dog too…ehheheheheheh
Since I don’t have a way with words, I’m letting those who do speak the words that are in my heart. I’ve so enjoyed Dublin’s posts over the time we’ve both been on the Board and will greatly miss her.
We live in the same general area, she over the hill in the Bay Area and I here on the Coast. We have threatened to meet at a horse show but never did. Now it seems we won’t and that makes me very sad. Obviously I would have enjoyed knowing her in person as I have enjoyed knowing her on the Board.
Sadly, Maggi

Thank you, Dave, for that incredible post.
There are no words - even if there were, it’s hard to type when I am crying.

And, Deed, you have plenty to keep you busy over there.
God bless and God speed!

It always amazes me the true warmth and caring that comes straight through the computer in a time like this.
Dublin has definitely left an impact on many lives and will be missed.
Condolences for the family. I’m very sorry for your loss but rejoice in the gain that you had in knowing her and loving her.
I am so sorry. My heart hurts.

I am in awe of and deeply moved by the depth of feeling expressed here by those fortunate enough to have known Dublin, the effect she had on a multitude of lives and the strength and support she was given both from this virtual community and from those who knew her in “real life.” What a wonderful woman. My sincere condolences to her family and friends.

Prayers and hugs to Dublin and her family during this difficult time.

“It is I.”
No matter what, she is always there for others.
I had no greater joy than on the Saturday before Christmas. Dorina’s “modder”, BBer nhwr, called to say “Aiden is getting the transplant! Aiden is getting the transplant!” And after we laughed and whooped and hollered and shed tears of joy, I immediately called Dee Dee and Dave, who were on their way to Tucson to see visit Dee Dee’s parents for Christmas. And darling Dee Dee, who had just had chemo, was just filled with joy as well and was SO happy to hear the great news.
Dee Dee, your strength of character is an example to us all. No matter how poorly you felt from your own illness, a big shiny beam was the good news about Aiden. And your touching concern for my father was a huge source of comfort.
And just think for a moment about the strength of this BB bond we all share. Dee Dee, who I know from this BB, and I shrieking with joy because nhwr, who I know from this BB, called to say that Aiden, who we know from this BB, was at that moment getting the transplant that so many of us from this BB had prayed for for so very long. And at that moment we were all interconnected by phone and cell phone and email and internet and IM and everything, filled with happiness about a single event.
And now we are all interconnected by phone and cellphone and email and internet and IM, filled with sadness about a very sad thing. And though it does not make it any easier, nor does it lessen the pain, I am again filled with awe that we are blessed to be part of a community that is so filled with love.
Dee Dee, if there is a star in the sky that is shaped like the biggest, brightest heart, then it should be called Dee Dee’s Star. For you have the biggest heart of any one of us.
I, too, enjoyed Dublin’s posts immensely while on the COTH boards and as a fellow TB lover, felt I had a kinship with her.
Godspeed dear Dublin …

AllWeatherGal has said it all. Safe harbor when you decide to go, and warm kisses and hugs that never end, on the other side. And prayers throughout.

Godspeed DeeDee,
You will be met by many on the other side of the rainbow bridge.

Oh the photos … here are Dee Dee and I last March at BJ’s, taken by Dave. Absolutely the coldest, windiest day we’ve had in years and years, and we had SUCH a wonderful time!
This is so sad. Dublin was was of the first ones I corresponded with when I joined the board. We were so often on the same wavelength. She will be sorely missed.
I’m another one who almost never cries, but is now sitting at the computer with a mountain of soggy kleenex on the table and tears still streaming down my face.
Dave, you have my deepest condolences on the loss of that wonderful, talanted and kind hearted woman, Dee Dee. I wish I had been able to meet her at the barn as a friend, but I am glad to have found her here, if only as a voice of reason on the internet.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Dublin - prayers, hugs and jingles continuing your way. I’m thinking about you during every lesson!
