Beautiful words for a lady so sadly missed RIP in peace Suexx
Thank you Burra boy, I know now why I couldn't contact her.
I feel so much guilt.
I hope her final days were as peaceful as they could be, I hate the thought of her struggling. .....and she will never see the spring.
Peace to our Hedgewitch ......she will be one with everything and everyone she loved now.
Her memory will live on.

Thanks Knitter At least Sue had her family with her...still sad to see someone so vibrant go thru the door, albeit she is only in the next room
• in reply toknitter
Knitter Please do not feel any guilt...I am sure that when the illness became a real concern Sue was in a safe place surrounded by family, while we were left wondering what had happened...Sadly now we know.

Feel guilty that I didn't try hard enough to contact her after she left the site....just thought I will try again tomorrow.....too late.
I feel I have lost a good friend.
She is now free.

Thanks Tam...a Lovely soul
Hi Aberdeenman, I too was shocked to hear about Vashti as I hadn't been here for a while.
May she RIP and may " himself" find strength to go on and look after the animals. Life is so short really.

Rest In Peace dear Hidden ,Rest In Peace. xxx
Thank you Burraboy. There will be many tears shed on this Earth for you Vashti. We will all miss you so and send all our love to Himself and all who loved you, both human and animal.
We have been very privileged to have shared a little of your life and thoughts through this forum. You brought such joy to so many of us. May you rest in peace.
Love Annie. x
• in reply toWorzel12
Thanks Annie...Sue will be missed by all who knew her. Will
I just hope and pray that she knew how much she was loved and admired by her HU family before she died.
That she was at peace and ease in her heart.
What lovely tribute Will, and some very wise words about how we all conduct ourselves, perhaps we need to look inside and seek out some of Vashti's humanity and understanding.
Sleepy tight Sue xxx
Such very sad news I looked forward to her posts such a great way with words, sometimes I could feel I were in Ireland with her.
Thank you Burraboy. A fitting tribute to an exceptional human being; I feel privileged to have known her and words cannot express the sense of loss that I and so many others are feeling today.

Thank you Dragon mum....we are all standing together..remembering our friend.

Farewell Vashti, we will miss you so. But come a summers evening just as the sun sets and the dew begins to lay you might hear a tinkling giggle and a stirring of the grasses and blossoms as Vashti and her fearie friends will flit past playing their playfull games. Or on a winters night remember her telling us of how she used to make a comfy nest on her sofa to settle down for the night.
Rest in peace, dear friend.
Love
Sue
Another lovely post that sums Vashti up for me, thank u for this bayleyray ,it's lovely xx

Thank you Sue
Wonderful lady and may the light she brought into all our lives forever continue.Shine on Sue xxx
Missing our lovely Vashti/Sue so much. I hope she was met by all her pets and people she loves.
The power of social media is immense. ...it can affect us in so many ways.
A lovely tribute to Vashti Burraboy, couldn't stop thinking about her yesterday, it's like losing a member of your family, the response to her death is incredible and so well deserved. She will live in our hearts for ever, so so sad , Bulpit
Thank you Syble..From the responses to both Christine's and my posts it is evident how Sue's death has affected many Will
What beautiful words, and a fitting tribute to a kind and thoughtful woman who touched us all.
Helen
• in reply tohelenlw7
Thanks Helen and Katie... One only has to look at the replies to both posts for Sue, to understand how she influenced the members and her caring attitude to those in need.
I am very concerned for 2 other members whom I have not been able to reach for some months...even had HU try to reach them
Montymillie aka Martine and Melissa Haas (Sth Africa). Both very ill when last contact was made.
What a fitting tribute to Vashti, rest in peace our beautiful freind x
I haven't commented because I just don't have the words to express how I feel at Vashti's passing. sleep easy Sue.
When did this all happen? I am shocked to see this 
She left us on International Womens Day , March 8th, Offcut, after years of bearing this horrible condition with massive fortitude and the irrepressible spirit that could even find the funny side of trailing oxygen pipes everywhere! She was a total one-off and will never be forgotten by those of us who, even though we never met in the flesh, so to speak, knew and loved her so much through her writing. We were so lucky to have been privileged to share in just a part of her life - she can never be replaced. I can understand your feeling of shock but please take comfort from the fact that she passed peacefully and without pain, surrounded by the family she loved, and who loved and cherished her. If we all feel her loss so deeply they must be devastated, and our hearts go out to "Himself", Teresa and Reuben and all whose lives she touched.
Absolutely true. I still cant believe that she has left this world. A beautiful soul and so very wise. Sue, you will always be remembered with fondness.'what will remain of us is love.'
Thank you Burraboy, A pain made a little easier to bear reading these comments
May the roads rise up to meet you.May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
(Traditional Gaelic Blessing)
Brilliant post R.I.P. Vashti
With all the St Patrick Day celebrations this weekend, I am sure Sue is joining in up there, with all the wee folk!
Thank you Will.

What an amazing person she was! So many of us from around the world have this special feeling of connecting with someone we have never seen or touched or heard her voice except, her written words!! She became our best friend that after reading her post, you felt you had sat at her table in her kitchen in her tiny cottage and had a cupa tea. You walked the paths through the Irish meadows passed the abandoned cottages as she Explained the hardships. She could make you forget for a while your limitations and laugh at them. I feel so blessed to have found this forum long enough ago that I could know her.
But right now I am missing her more than I can explain.
Peace be with You !
Shirley
Coming up to the first Anniversary. March 8th. RIP Vashti xxx
