Member of the Month Announcement

#1 Postby southerngale » Fri May 14, 2010 12:32 pm

After reading the suggestions of a co-MOTM for Mary (MSRobi911) or a separate one, I thought about how it would work. I didn't really want to have her "share" it with a current member as that didn't seem fitting enough, nor fair to this round's winner, but I liked the general idea. Anyway, I've decided to make MSRobi911 the Member of the Month for March/April. I'll save the nominations I currently have for next month, so if you sent one in, you don't need to next month unless you want to change it, and then let me know that it's a change, please.

While MSRobi911 hadn't been on the board in the past few months, her sudden death has deeply affected many of us. She'd been a member since 2003 and spent a lot of time in the chatroom as well. That's where I, and many others, got to know her so well. She was always so full of life and such a joy to be around. She was nice and/or sassy Image to everyone and she was loved by all.
She lost her home in Katrina, right down to the slab, and had a difficult time fighting the insurance company in the years following. Throughout it all, she never lost her spirit and had an amazing outlook on life. She never ceased to make people laugh.

Mary adored her husband and two kids, and talked about them often. Her daughter stated on FB that she was lucky to have her mother and best friend in one person.

Mary had a nickname in chat... Flygirl. We often called her Fly for short and she loved her nickname. She was a great friend to me and I am fortunate to have had her in my life, even if only for 7 short years. I miss her dearly. Image


MSRobi911 - MOTM is in honor of you. We love you.

How wonderful Kelly. We meet so many people in our lives that touch us in one way or another. This woman was a amazing. She had spunk and a real joy for life. She will be sadly missed. She made a difference. Heaven has a new angel.
