RIP @Where_sMyWhite

@skydy

Do You yet have an obit which will often name a charity where donations can be made in her memory? Might be too soon but should you get, please post it. So sad in reading this.

One thing we can do in her memory is to contact local state extension org for gardening issues. She was a huge supporter of and loyal one. And She was right. Gosh I canā€™t believe it.

No I donā€™t, and I donā€™t know that we will. We are none of us in contact with her people and donā€™t know their names or where they live. We know that she died at home and after a newspaper notification, her people claimed her to lay her to rest.

Monday is a holiday but perhaps on Tuesday I could call and try to find someone at the University to tell that we are here and we cared about her, and see if theyā€™d pass that message on to her people.

Would this be a violation of her privacy? Itā€™s so difficult for me to know.

Her gardening credentials were very impressive. They are included here:https://stayhappening.com/e/dig-online-growing-adeniums-in-southern-arizona-E3LUTD0WAWDM

I think maybe trying to send condolences to her family could be an invasion of her privacy? If she had wanted them to know about her participation on COTH she would probably have told them. :confused:

I was thinking about WMW the last couple days having not seen a post from her in some time. I was shocked to read that she has passed.

I know she was passionate about her master gardener program and loved her some euphorbias. I always enjoyed her posts.

RIP Kathy.

Put me down for a contribution to whatever memorial is decided.

RIP.
Was she found because of Mod1? Or her family was with her? Sad either way.

No. Mod1 found that she had died, through research.

Oh ok. Thank you for clarifying.

RIP Where_sMy White.

I think that looks great.

Iā€™ll miss Kathy. She was so smart and my adeniums could use her knowledge right about now. Iā€™ll PM you about a donation.

RIP, WMW. I will miss your knowledgeable advice on gardening threads.

I can only speak for myself, but if friends a now passed family member knew from an online forum sent condolences I would simply assume they cared.

Most of my family does not know I am on this horse forum. Not because I am hiding it, but because it is of no interest to them. So I do not see them not knowing about a horse forum as it being a secret.

I would feel the same, but I donā€™t know what her relationship with her family was like.

Itā€™s ordered. The scribble is over her name. ā€œGreatā€ wouldnā€™t fit nicely on the line with ā€œracing fanā€ with the character limit so I left it out.

I keep getting pulled away but Iā€™ll reach out to everyone who PMā€™d me so you can give your contribution!
