She's still here so don't say "farewell" yet!

She's still here so don't say "farewell" yet!

 

Thank you. My sentiments exactly.

[hornytwells]

Yes, please-"farewell" is a bit premature, I got a shock when I saw the headline and thought she had already died.

She's still here so don't say "farewell" yet!

 

Would that we all have advance notice of our demise so we can say farewells.

 

RIP is premature. Farewell is an appropriate thing to say while she can still hear it.

Yes yes...so for now perhaps a simple, "Our prayers are with you"...my neighbor was just told that Chemo is not working and her condition is terminal. We sit and talk several times a day. We talk only of what she wants to do tomorrow.

Last year when I was in NYC she was starring in "Looped", which was playing down the street from the hotel where I was staying. I had already had tickets for the shows I was seeing that trip. I wish I had been able to see her in it then.

Well, I think RIP is always a silly thing to say because the person is dead, not hanging out in bed asleep. But Valerie has said she is not focused on dying; she is focused on living, on now. So I don't know if she'd appreciate a "farewell."

You missed a great peformance. I hope it was filmed.

Psalm 39:

 

Lord, let me know mine end and the number of my days,

That I may be certified how long I have to live.

Thou hast made my days as it were a span long;

And mine age is as nothing in respect of Thee,

And verily, ev'ry man living is altogether vanity,

For man walketh in a vain shadow

And disquieteth himself in vain,

He heapeth up riches and cannot tell who shall gather them.

And now, Lord, what is my hope?

Truly my hope is even in Thee.

Deliver me from all mine offences

And make me not a rebuke to the foolish.

I became dumb and opened not my mouth

For it was Thy doing.

Take Thy plague away from me,

I am even consumed by means of Thy heavy hand.

When Thou with rebukes does chasten man for sin

Thou makest his beauty to consume away

Like as it were a moth fretting a garment;

Ev'ry man therefore is but vanity.

Hear my pray'r, O Lord

And with Thy ears consider my calling,

Hold not Thy peace at my tears!

For I am a stranger with Thee and a sojourner

As all my fathers were.

O spare me a little, that I may recover my strength before I go hence

And be no more seen.

She's not dead yet.

[gnosvotos]

Yeah you had me horrified she was already gone, semantics aside.

 

My deepest sympathies for her and her family though... an awful thing to go through.
