Love you Aurora

My BananaJane.  Only because I could not pronounce  "Bajanne".  I will so miss you and your tender heart.  You are in a better place and I look forward to meeting you someday.

Patsy Aurora Barker was a part of the admin team for the last 8 years. We got to meet at one of our IHD Las Vegas Meet-ups, a really lovely person. She lived in the British Virgin Islands but always felt nearby. She was very close with her daughter Sam, and 2 grandchildren, who she loved with all her heart.
We will miss you sweet friend. Rest in Peace dear Aurora. "Bajanne"

I don't want to read this --- I don't want to know this -- I don't want this to be happening.  I am glad I got to meet her, but her online presence was powerful also.  She was strong in her faith and lived it everyday.  She would be the first one to rejoice that she is HOME and done with kidney failure.  But, I adored her and will miss her sweet spirit.   I was her Secret Santa this year and I made sure there were presents for Sam and her 2 boys also.  They all loved each other so much.

I am so very sorry for everyone.   I have another friend who is hovering between home on earth and the final Home.  In the next day or two, he will be gone too.  I ache for all who are losing loved ones.   Especially, all who loved our Sister Bajanne.

Thank you for all of your years of superb service to IHD, Bajanne. There will never be another like you, dear girl. You made me and countless others feel like we had found a place where we would always belong.

My favorite phrase she used was "sending healing prayers".   I thought her healing prayers had to be more powerful than anyones prayers.   :pray;

I'm SO saddened to hear of Bajanne's death....

I remember her wise words and comforting thoughts when Mum hasn't been well...

May her gentle soul rest in peace....


An Irish blessing for a departed friend...

May the road rise to meet you.

May the wind be always at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face.

May the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,

May the Lord hold you in the palm of His hand.

When the words decide to make sense instead of the tears I have now, hopefully I will be able to write something for Bajanne and her family.
