I've collected all Marge's Moon poems and printed them on 48 pages. Last pages will be my year 'round farewell Moon poems, ending in January 2010 and then I'll ship them off to Tracie, Marge's daughter, who has become a very, very dear friend these last months. It will be a tribute to a wonderful lady, who's life ended too soon, as many of our dear PiP friends.

Titia,
Thank you so much for this tribute to our mutual friend Marge. To say she was special would be an understatement, as it is to say she is missed. I'm sure all of us here feel priveledged to have known her in whatever capacity time allowed. Be well,
your old friend,
Doc

I didn't know who Marge was but I can tell she was an amazing person just from this poem.

Dearest Titia,
Funny you should send this today. I was walking on the beach early last night and while the sun was still out on one side, I could see the moon over the ocean on the other side. I thought of Mom and wrote Hi Mom in the sand with my toes, then the tide came and gently washed it away. I thought of you and your moon poem gifts to me this year, and then I look this morning and found this from you. This is 2 poems in one, and both are sweet and melodic, and leave me smiling through tears. Thank you for your gift to me. And thank you to everyone here who continues to make such nice comments about my mom. Love, Tracie

Thanks friends for all your sweet comments.

Don't know if I can stop writing Moon poems to Marge after January 2010, I think it's getting in my blood, Moons in full. Maybe I'll keep writing them every month, till the day I die. It's an addiction, I know, but could there be a better one?

Love you all, Titia

Wonderful moon poem, dear Titia. Our dear Marge continues to touch our hearts through the Moon connection.

Loved Tracie's comment too.

Hugs to both and loving thoughts for our dear Moonlady Marge.
