Sad News...

Deb Golan a fellow blogger & one of my sweetest & dearest blogging friends passed away Monday morning. I just got an email from Allison who heard from Deb’s daughter Domenica with the sad news. I talked about Deb a few weeks ago & requested we flood her mailbox with cards to let her know we were thinking of her & to send her a little bit of sunshine to make her smile.

This is what Domenica, wrote to Allison:

"...my mom was resting comfortably when she passed away. She will not be having a funeral, as we will have a ceremony with her ashes when we scatter them in Hawaii next summer. She had a fresh Hawaiian lei on with beautiful plumeria flowers and she was surrounded with her 3 daughters. She was an amazing mother, grandmother and stamper. She will be missed."

We will all miss her as well.

I'm so sorry Rita. I know what it feels like when we lose one of our blogging buddies. It's never quite the same without them. Best, Curt
