Daisy is your sisters name Unky? That's a beautiful name.

Awww, see, story after story connects us all to something that seems to make us all a little closer... Jo is so silly!!
Daisies are pretty, they are feminine, and they hold meaning to many!
Yup Alty, got it! :p
She is a sweety pie too!
She may be the next ducky... Daisy duck... lol! :p Her MSN avi is some fat duck... I don't know why she chose it, seems weird to me.
How old is she Unky?
Can she join us? We could use a fat duck. I'm sure Stringer and I could make a duck trap that works. We're hungry. ;)
Hey Alty I was just checking in today to see if there was an update. I thought of this post all night. I can't believe I missed the chance to get to know Jo. I love love love gardening and every year put more flowers out. I am new at it. But each year I learn more and I know she would have filled me in on many tips. A florist... god bless her. Nothing more prettier then nature and what you can create with it. I have a wild flower box with whatever seeds I come across I throw them in. For Jo I will buy a packet of daisy seeds. What could be a better reminder of a friendship that could have been. I will watch them grow and think what she could have taught me. I mean I have planted my cucumbers three times in 2 weeks and they are so dead its not funny. Maybe she can help me out with my new cuke plantings. Somehow she can just blow me some magical dust and I can get a green thumb.
She would have loved that Sunflower. Heck, your username alone would have made her smile.
I wish you could have gotten to know her too. She's a wonderful person, has a great heart, sadly she just had a problem that no one knew about, and by the time anyone did, it was too late.
She often talked about her work as a florist. She'd talk about all the different flowers, it was all over my head. Gerber daisies, millions of different types of roses, I don't know one from the other. Heck, if it smells nice and isn't too expensive, I like it.
She made fun of me because I like carnations. She called them "the poor mans rose". Sigh, I like them! ;)
No updates for a few days. I'm last on the list for updates, so I don't expect to know as soon as it happens, but probably a day or two afterwards. Her Aunt has been wonderful keeping me posted, especially since she really doesn't know me. She's reached out to me, such a wonderful woman, she reminds me of Starby.
I hope to meet her for coffee, talk with her, share stories with her about Jo and hopefully hear stories that I didn't know. I hope to laugh with her, I'm sure we'll cry together too, but my main wish is to share with her a part of Jo she may not have known, and also to let her know how much Jo did for people here.
Another book by Alty, sorry, I have the gift for gab. ;)
Wow, Sunflower, you're good. You asked for an update, I said I haven't gotten one, then 5 minutes later, I did.
I've removed the families names.
This is the message from Jo's Aunt;
Hi Andrea,
Jo is about the same. In and out of reality, but is able to talk rationally at times. She is also eating a little (jello, ensure) which is good.
If there is anything you would like to say to Jo you can send it by email to me and I will send it to Jo's dad... He is printing all messages and putting them up on the bulletin board in Jo's room.
Had a pretty normal day today - starting to feel like myself again!
How are you? I hope you are able to function without worrying about Jo too much. Because of her mental state, I've asked Jo's mom to remind Jo every day how much each of us love her!
ttys
hugs,
So that's the update.
If anyone else wants a message sent post it here and I'll see that Jo's Aunt gets it.
Love you all.
Thanks Alty... appreciate the update love!
I miss her.
She is a special part of our 'group' here and though we are all friends she is a vital part of that friendship. She could take everything we threw at that duck! And then she would pick it up and throw it back at us, all in so much fun. And Starby, you kept me on my toes trying to stay one step ahead you and that one feather you have left.
I sent you some pictures that were of mountains that showed great height and you emailed me back with a 'growwwwllll...I do not like looking at pictures that make me dizzy in my stomach!!!'
So, naturally I sent you about 15 more... and you responded with a threat to my life after each one... ha ha.
Starby, I miss you much my friend and my heart is heavy with worry about you. You belong here with us hon. If I had one wish, it would be that I could send you another picture and you would yell at me... again. Don't forget Starby, we still have to all get together for that coffee, I'll be waiting for you.
Love you much sweet,
Stringer
That's beautiful Stringer.
I love the fact that the duck always evaded our traps. We planned a duck dinner so many times, had the table set, all the fixings, but she escaped every time.
The nude ducky dipping in the pond. Flying overhead with the bunny (me) to save me because you had all decided on hassenpfeffer instead of duck.
Our antics, our pranks on the Sheriff and the Deputy. Rebbie and her motorbike, all of us sneaking out of the castle for a night on the town.
So many good times. I wish there were more to come.
I'll see that she gets the message Stringer. :)
Thank you Alty, somehow it doesn't seem enough...

Stringer... that was wonderful, thanks again.
YouTube - " Thank You "
My fave Friendship song... Jo... well, she deserves this song... cause I just want to thank her for being so kind and generous to me... lots of hugs friends... she is so funny and willing, I can't say enough about how she touched me in so many ways:) Lots of love Jo!
If the offer for messages still stands Alty I'll write/prepare something.
Yes, she could but won't.
She's always saying: " Sigh... again that AskMeHelpDesk... when you finished you tell me. I'll play."
She's 13... perhaps later she'll join. I've already tried to make an account for her, but she did not want to do it. Sigh, little sisters!!
