Heartbroken. Don't know what else to say, other than you will not be forgotten LauraJane.

Just feeling so lost without our LauraJane....Maybe I should go do some gardening in the rain.
Christina, I agree, we need to do something, any ideas?
My good things so far today, cuddling with the warm doggies. Also, feeling so lucky to have known someone as special as LauraJane, even though it was only online, I feel like I knew her in person.

I'm a terrible gardener but always got a lot of inspiration from LJ when she talked about her work. So, I plan to plant something special in my garden this spring and vow to take good care of it. I will think of her. I also plan to reflect on the "best things" each day...she taught us that.

LJ made a very memorable impression on me too! I will also reflect on the "best things" each day in her memory.

I just returned from a wonderful weekend fishing with the family and now feel like I have been punched in the gut. I can't believe Laurajane is gone. Yes, we all knew it would happen, but I honestly thought she had a bit longer. It was so like her to remain postive and try to keep us positive, I will miss her tremendously. I would like to contribute something as well as soon as we hear about arrangements.
Inmate- I am so sorry you have to wait to find out what's going on. I will keep thinking good thoughts (as we all will).
Welcome to our new ladies.
Has anyone heard from Suze or MBJ?

What sad news.........My deepest sympathy to LJ's children, family and friends. She was a great lady. She will be missed. Best thing of the day: Went with my DH and son to the Botanical Gardens to see the Butterflies go free exhibition. It was just spectacular. Laurajane would have loved it..................

LJ - my heart aches.

I am so upset, angry and sad....we are losing so many great women to this awful disease. I belong to another TNBC group and within the last month we have lost many wonderful women in that group also! I do not have a green thumb at all but in memory of LJ, this Spring I am going to plant something...

Perhaps we could contact the children's garden that she created and ask to donate a bench there in her memory?

Love that idea, Heidi.
And, I also like what others have said about planting something in their own yard this spring in memory of LJ. I will be doing the same.

We will miss her...Laura was such a great wonderful person...she always amazed me.
Heidi..I will be glad to help out however....

Ok...the best thing to happen to me today was..telling my DH that he certainly doesn't look 54 and I got a big hug...that I saw my wonderful daughter and that I jogged 3 miles in beautiful weather...
Let's keep it going ladies...Laura would absolutely want us too...you guys know her....IF Laura got pissed off it would be because we didn't move on and live like she did...she truly enjoyed every minute....
Another best thing was calling LJ my friend...very lucky to have her for a friend....
Love you all...

So sorry to hear of this, I have been checking hoping she had written. Cancer sux!
I too will plant something in her honor!

I am just so shocked and angry about Laurajane. I just did not expect this. She said 6-9 months not 6-9 days. She was always so helpful and kind to me and I just cannot believe this has happened. I don't even know if she got her new deck to lighten her life. This cancer thing has finally got to me today and I just can't take it all in. So many tears for her.
Rest in peace beautful Laurajane. I will see you in Heaven. Annie xxooxx

Thanks for the great lead, Titan.
The best thing that happened to me today. Went to lunch with DH. We sat outside and enjoyed a cold beer and a meal together. Sun shining on our faces, grateful for the beautiful weather and each other.

Tears, so many tears, oh! I can't control myself.......Oh my God.....I am devastated. Please someone, I can't bear this ladies........I never even knew what she looked like, but my heart is in so much pain right now, there are no words to describe it. My goodness, who dies on their birthday.

I didn't know LJ but tears were flowing when I read how much she was loved and what an obviously wonderful lady she was.
Cancer sucks.

Heidi, Great idea!
I thought a lot about LJ as I walked today. Her interests, her personality was never extinguished by this rotten disease and she had a huge impact on us all. She is truly an inspiration on how to better handle this illness no matter what happens in the future.
I've always loved to garden, but I don't believe I'll ever garden again without thinking of Laura, either. I bought peat pots and seeds today to start vegetable seedlings inside. The best thing that happened to me today was walking in the sun for thirty minutes and also enjoying my fur babies.

Lovelyface I know exactly how you feel and I feel the same. Devastation is not the word. How can we carry on today knowing a beautful lady has died on her birthday from this shit of a disease. I don't think I can carry on with this cancer lark its really getting to me. She was all our hope wrapped up in one, she kept me going with her kind wonderful words and her happiness in all that she wrote. Today its raining tears for her. I can only hope that she passed from this world free of pain. All we had was her picture which showed nothing but kindness and empathy. I can't even concentrate. My deepest sympathy to all of her family. Annie.

Annie, I think her very last post here was on March 5th. She said she was worried about Bak in that post. She was concerned about everyone and gave us so much insight into this horrible disease. You know what, even though I knew she was at Stage IV, she never made me realize that it was really that bad. This actually is very shocking news to me. I didn't expect her to go so quickly, absolutely not. She was writing about so many wonderful things lately, without mentioning her pain or anything else that she was going through. So, yes, this is very shocking to me that she would just go away so quickly. I truly hope God blesses her wonderful children and family at this time. What a loss!

Heidi, I've been out of town and just read the post about LauraJane. Oh I'm so sad. Thank you for letting us know. Oh my gosh.0

Heidi- I think the bench is a fabulous idea! I will help!
As I said- we were away all weekend, but I noticed as we pulled into the drive that one daffodil blossomed. I later read about LJ and my first thought was that lone daffodil. Perhaps it was LJ just popping in to say hello. Corny, I know, but quite fitting for LJ.
I miss you already LJ!!

My heart is so sad right now. While we are all deeply saddened by the loss of LJ ( whom I only knew thru her extraordinary posts here) she would definitely want us to continue her positive attitude in ourselves and continue fighting our battle with this beast. She was without a doubt an amazing women of great strength and character and has touched us all.
In that spirit I will continue the thread----the best thing that happend to me was a weekend long trip to see old friends whose daughter just graduated and spending time catching up while watching our children smile, laugh and just had a great time together. Old friends are so great and my new ones here are pretty awesome too! XOXO

Sugar, do you know any more? Do you know if she was able to die at home? I hope so much she was comfortable and didn't hurt or feel fear. LauraJane lived with such joy, and love of life.0

Mity - no, I don't know anything further.
I will continue, too. The best thing that happened to me today was taking my dog for a walk and then attending a going away party for my next-door-neighours, who are moving. Everyone on the court where I live got together and did a potluck. It was so much fun and we all had a lot of laughs...mostly because the guests of honour never showed up (...it was planned a couple of weeks ago and they forgot). We all said it was their secret plan so the neighbourhood could get used to them not being at our get togethers after they move next week. LOL Needless to say, they were mortified when they got home tonight and realized we had a party for them today

Yes, let's all plant something.
Heidi-good idea! I will donate also.
LJ was always thinking of others, such a good energy. I feel her positive energy around me.
On a sad note, what will we do without our LJ? How did it happen so fast? I so hope she had calmness and peace around her on her last days, along with her family. Feeling so lost....but with the need to keep positive.

Navymom - I'm going to plant something in her memory, here in my yard. Something bright!

Bak..if we want a smile all we have to do is look at her previous posts...I smile every time I read them...she won't be forgotten.....she really did care for us all didn't she??

I like the idea of planting something in her memory. My Dad planted a magnolia tree when his older brother died, and I planted a clump of red, pink, and white dogwoods when Dad died...
