Unhappy News
 
it is with great sadness that i report the passing of one of our members.

oldcottontop a junior member of this board died this week. It was quite a shock to her friends as she had not been ill. Linda had just retired and was planning all the quilts she wanted to make. She was also a valued member of her Church quilting guild. She will definitely be missed.


she was a caring person. her signature was "People may not remember exactly what you did, or what you said --but--They will always remember how you made them feel."

i'm sure she will be remembered as somebody who made those around her feel special.

May memories of her be a comfort to those who knew and loved her.

When I taught school, I always told my classes, "It's not what you say that people remember, but how you say it". Sandy's signature always brought a warmth to my heart when I read her posts...
May God bless her family and give them peace at this time of loss...
