Hi everyone. I don't have Raven's phone number, and haven't heard from her lately. I am praying that she is OK as well as David. I just want to make sure she is alright. Anyone hear from her lately?? |

Wow, Raven I was crying reading that gorgeous tribute to David. I don't know what else to say! |

What a very thoughtful gift...I'm trying not to cry here myself!! |

I like being able to touch people, especially those who have managed to touch me in some way. I have found that just because someone is virtual to your current life, it doesnt devalue their friendship; possibly quite the contrary. It is comforting to me to know that there are friends to be had out there when needed. In my existence, it is rare to find those few willing to open their lives to you, so I think it is worth cherishing these odd online connections that we may make.
Sugar gliders are very selective and picky colony animals after all. So what does that make us?

Awww. I miss you and your family. I know we all do here.
Raven - the story of you and David is inspirational and beautiful. I cherish your love story.
Hugs to you and your family. |

Raven I have tears rolling down my face after reading your absolutely beautiful tribute to your love. You are an amazing and strong woman. May you dance often in loving and happy memory. |

Raven, we all love the flow chart! Who could forget such a loving & unique marriage proposal!
I will give you 3 guesses who did that and the first two don't count. A wonderful, thoughtful redheaded man that we all know and love. I bet he is wiping tears from his eyes right now too.
Raven, we all understand why you haven't been here recently. But know that you are always in our hearts. <<hugs>> |

OMG - I've finally blown my nose and wiped my eyes enough to respond to this. Frankly, I'm speechless - which doesn't happen often.
Yesterday - I received a lovely commemorative book and a beautiful silver heart pendant. It was so touching to know that you folks are so compassionate toward a person who has been too distracted to even participate here in such a loooong time.
Today the postman brought me a woodburned plaque of David's flowchart proposal
to me a quarter of a century ago. When I opened the box my jaw dropped and I burst into tears. This was a hard, belly-bouncing cry. I was so touched. Frankly, I needed to allow myself a good cry because I've been working so hard and long at keeping my grief in check. I still have to go to work everyday and function without meltdowns.
This was so extremely thoughtful. Whoever came up with such a amazing idea is brilliant to say the least. The plaque will be displayed proudly and cherished forever, just as I cherish all of you. I can't even put into words what this means to me.
Thank you!!

I am so very sorry, and I am praying for you and your family. It is truly devestating to loose someone we love so much, but time and prayer can heal the heart. That was an amazing poem, thank you for sharing. |

Life is not fair. It has no mercy.
The best tasting foods have the most calories.
Those that work the hardest earn the least.
We think of the right thing to say after the moment has passed.
When we plan a picnic, it rains.
So we have to learn to dance in the rain - to revel in it,
Or life passes us by while we await the sunshine.
I knew a man, tortured for years, who laughed at the pain.
Together, we danced in the rain
Until he grew tired
And slept.
The world has no idea what it lost.
If it did, the furnace would cease to cycle on and off,
The freezer would make no more ice cubes,
The trees would no longer grow,
The birds would huddle on limbs refusing to fly in sorrow.
But I know what the world has lost,
And the world is a much better place for his having visited.
My world will not be shattered by this storm.
I will laugh and dance in the rain in his honor.
In memory of David Lee Priest
My loving husband and best friend

you know,the next voice he will hear will be that of Christ,telling him to wake up & come out,as he did for his dear friend Lazarus. to actually be able to hear his voice,to know that his fondness is w/man,& to be able to resurrect all those in history,someday soon,will be absolutely wonderful!!!!!

Wow. I am so sorry for your loss, Raven and family. Positive energy coming your way for strength and happier days. You CAN make it through this. |
Mollysmom Posted - Mar 18 2010 : 07:45:48 PM
I have been off of here for a few days, and am so sad to read this awful news. Raven, I know that nothing anyone can say will take away your pain. My prayers and thoughts go with you and your family during this very sad time. |
Mom2MandG Posted - Mar 16 2010 : 08:15:19 PM
I have been wanting to do something so thank you for organizing. |
suggieluvr Posted - Mar 16 2010 : 12:11:10 PM
I sent Kazko a PM asking if it would be OK if we sent him money through paypal. I will let you guys know what he says. |
Sugarmomma2 Posted - Mar 16 2010 : 10:24:20 AM
I agree we should do something. Any ideas? |
kyro298 Posted - Mar 16 2010 : 05:49:41 AM
I'm game for whatever everyone decides. I know Kazko has her address so I'd trust him if he collected donations and sent it as he's done that before. |
suggieluvr Posted - Mar 16 2010 : 01:23:37 AM
Maybe we could send flowers or a fruit basket to Raven and her family. Any suggestions? |
tootles Posted - Mar 15 2010 : 08:23:28 PM
Raven, I am so sorry for your loss. I know that nothing I say right now will help. All I can do is pray for the Lord to give you strength and peace through this rough time. I am sure he is finally at peace and is waiting for you. Hugs to you and your family. |
