I’m so very sorry…
Thinking of Dublin and her family…
Oh no… This is so sad
I am so sorry. God Bless you Dublin.
Please God, give the strength to Dublins family to part with such a lovely soul…
I will be thinking and praying for you…
This is the first chance I have had to get on the BB since last Friday, what sad news.
Dave, my heartfelt condoloences to you, I always looked forward to reading DeeDees posts.
I would also be interested in contributing something.

David, Dee Dee, ANd Family, My thoughts are with you, God Bless.
I posted this on the memorial thread as well- perhaps those of us who can’t make it to the service on Friday can instead honor Dee Dee with a moment of silence at 11AM. I think it’s especially fitting that we honor such a well-loved member of our community on Valentine’s day.
David, so many times Dee Dee sent me funny emails that cheered me up. I only wish I had something profound or comforting to say to you. All I can offer is that while I didn’t know Dee Dee as closely as I would’ve wished, she made a positive impact on my life, one that I will always remember.
Within my heart I will always “jingle a curb chain” for your dear, sweet wife.
And I know this with strong conviction: When I’m riding in my hunter classes this show season, Dee Dee and Kathy Havens will be sitting up there in the grandstand, cheering me on, giving me advice, laughing with me at my mistakes. So much is the lasting impression made on my soul.
Merry thank you for the beautiful words and the reminder. How fragile it all seems to be…

Another completely speechless person here. God bless Dublin and Mr. Dublin. May her pain and suffering be over soon.

You are in my prayers. Ahh, to be so loved. I wish I would have lurked more so I would have gotten to know this wonderful person
It is so hard to know what to say that hasn’t already been said. I’m so sorry for your loss. I know your pain… Dublin is now at peace and whole again and for that, we should all be happy for her. Dublin…I hardly knew you either but I hope we get a chance to meet one day on the other side of the Rainbow bridge or the next time around.

God Bless you DeeDee. As a fellow Thoroughbred devotee, although we never met in person we had much in common. Of course, I’ll never be half the rider DeeDee was. When I was a newbie here she was very kind to me, sending a beloved old video for me to copy. I think I’ll watch that tape tonight, but then it might be too sad.

Got nothing eloquent to say, except to selfishly complain that I will miss her posts.
Dublin, you have my permission to ride the Sainted Tiger when you get there.

In response to someone who posted about cancer taking the good ones…
that is really crazy to think about. But it comforts me to know that Cactuskate will be waiting with open arms for Dublin. I am sure they will be taking great rides through the fields of heaven, on many beloved horses, both from those loved by those on the board, as well as the famous ones.
Maybe God just needed someone to exercise his horses, and CactusKate needed someone to help her out.

I just joined this board recently, and never met Dee Dee, but i know she was an incredible lady.
There isn’t much to say, it’s a sad loss. But now she is free from suffering and will live on above.
My deepest sympathy is sent to Dave and Dee Dees family.
May she rest in peace.
Dave, I am so very sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I hate this disease!
DD,
You look like such a wonderful spirit – and I wish I would have had the opportunity to get to know you as more than words in a yellow box. …just that much was enough to suggest how extradordinary you are, however.
As one who lost a mother and maternal aunt to breast cancer (and has dealt with chemo and radiation myself for Hodgkins) I know how devestating this stuff can be. I also want you to know that I’m thinking of you and your family at this time.
May your passage be peaceful.
