Starby, you will never be forgotten

Asked Aug 16, 2009, 10:33 AM — 225 Answers
As some of you have already heard our Starby passed away this morning.

She fought long and hard, beat a lot of odds, but she lost the fight.

She touched so many of us here. So many times in the middle of the night, when I couldn't sleep, she'd keep me company.

We talked every day on the phone. Her sweet laugh, her voice, he humor and her love, I'll never forget.

So tell us a story about her, something your remember, one of your favorite posts, a poem, whatever you want. Let's keep her memory alive.

Starby, as long as I live I will never forget you. We will meet again, this I promise you. Watch us, laugh with us, enjoy the peace you have finally found.

She was with is in my first Cafe... The one that started all this awesome chatting.

She has enriched my life and helped me see what really matters again.

She was my friend. My confidante.

I will miss her.
That seems so long ago, but it isn't.

Funny how you both got into my heart so quickly. I don't ever allow it.

I remember when we first started the chats. You and me and the dream of coffee. It was a happier time.

I can't help but think that her death has a purpose. Our chats, they've slowed down, now here we are, all together again.

I've been missing you Chicky. We started all of this, let's keep it going.

She lives on through us. Through our chats. Just talking about her brings her to life. Let's never stop. The duck, our Starby, she will live on, because we won't let her die, not in our memories.

Think of the peace. She has it now. She has it now. We will meet again, one day.

I have no words, only tears, but those are just for me.
I have to smile, for you're at peace, and that's how it should be.
You fought so hard, against all odds, our ducky, friend, our love.
Now you're at rest, your soul has flown to paradise above.

From Alty.
That was beautiful Alty.

I remember being on here with Jo,in the wee hours of the morning,both of us being insomniacs, and we would have these marathon I.M. Sessions.

We must have talked about everything from A to Z.And it was always our little laugh fest!

She always got me rolling and I always used to tease her with the same old joke *hay Jo,where you goin' with that gun in your hand*?
Its a lyric from an old Jimi Hendrix song and for some reason,she thought it was funny!

Then she would proceed to tell me her imaginary hit list.Silly but fun!

I loved talking with her and we did have some serious talks about love and life and our problems.

She loved everyone here and there was never a bad word about anyone!

I light a candle in her memory and treasure the time I had.

We always said we would meet one day and I know we will. I know she has found the peace she wanted so bad in this life.

As I'd said on the other thread.

It is sad, very sad and heartbreaking for those left behind that knew her. I've been reading this thread for a while now,but haven't commented for while, as there was nothing anybody could say that would change anything. She held on and fought, but in the end she wanted and needed to find peace.

Jo's at peace now and I'm sure looking down on each and everyone of you.

Please accept my hugs and condolences xxxx

Me too.

I remember talking with her on the phone and we could never have a conversation less than 2 hours. But that was a minimum because we'd often talk much longer than that. She was a great lady and I've been missing her for a long time now.

Right now, I'm having trouble dealing with so much all at the same time.

This is so sad. I do have to ask of what happened with her. I know that she was in the hospital for awhile but I never knew what for and didn't want to ask.

I remember meeting her I believe in the AMHD tavern or maybe the Jail or maybe it was the hotel that M paid for. I would be here around 6 in the morning and she would be the only one around to talk to. Such a fun good hearted person. I will miss her being around here. I remember her and Alty going back and forth of what my nick name should be around here. I guess Alty won that one but I will never forget all the times of her.

Wow, just heard the news. I'm in shock as death is a part of life, but it hurts to hear someone so lively has passed, she was a buddy.
