through me?

I will say it the way it is always said, directly and matter o' fact, I quote:

"Hi Karen,
I have bad news about Mom. They found cancer in her liver. She doesn't have long to live. Tell the people who are her friends. If anyone lives close, she is in Florida Hospital Deland room 239. Thanks, Tracie her daughter"

I'm so sorry to be the messenger.

I don't know what more to say either, just that I love you Marge.

I...love...you.


You have taught me well.

Marge, when your time does truly come, know with peace of mind, that you are leaving this world a better place than the one that you were born into. Your poetry, your photography, and your glorious spirit will live on.

You are loved. You are a TRUE Earth Angel who is returning HOME.

Holding you gently, warmly, lovingly in my arms.

Love and Eternal Light,

Dear, dear Marge

I am so sorry to hear the news.  I commend everyone before my response for not trying to give you false hope.  However, please forgive me, for not accepting the news from qualified and experienced doctors and medical staff.  I am still praying to our best friend, God, for a miracle, and I don't believe your time has come yet.  If I am wrong, and it is, in fact, your time, please know that Flicka, my beloved horse, will meet you at the gate.  You will know each other instantaneously and there will be an immediate and wonderful bond of love and friendship between you that will last for all eternity.  (Please give him my love, although I know he knows he has it, but he will enjoy hearing it again.)  He will make you welcome and pass on messages to you from us on Earth.  If I am wrong, may your passage be light and beautiful for you, as you walk towards the light in acceptance, fearlessness and joy.  You will be going to a place of Peace and Harmony, and you will see God face to face whereas we, on Earth will still be seeing, as through a glass, darkly.  May God bring your family the peace of understanding, knowing that your suffering is over and may they feel their bond with you even more strongly than before.  

The tears are only trickling down my face.  They are not gushing and I am not sobbing, because I don't believe your time has come yet.  The tears are only for your current pain and suffering.  If your time does come soon, my tears will gush and I will sob my heart dry, but that will be for my own selfishness of missing you, and for your family and friends including all of your Pip friends.  

You have lived a life to be proud of.  You have brought such happiness and love to all around you and to all of us here on Pip.  I am very, very honoured to be your friend.  You will never ever be forgotten by anyone whose life you have touched.

Huglets dearest Marge
(and thank you dearest Karen and Tracie)

The tears will not stop, and I'm always amazed that I have so much of the stuff.

I think I need to turn this off for tonight, but I wanted to leave Marge a hug.



I also want everyone to know that I think you are all pretty amazing...something special happens in this place.

Oh no, I can't believe this is really happening to my most precious friend. So far away I am and so in need to hug you now my sweet, sweet Marge. It just isn't fair.
My thoughts are with you dear girl and with all your family members, this is going to be a tough time for all. Just know that I love you and that I cherish the memories from the time we met and will carry them in my heart for ever and when your time comes Marge, your spirit will be kept alive through your beautiful poetry in the hearts of many. I'm not supposed to curse, but I did it anyway.

Marge,

My thoughts are with you as they have been for months.  I am not sure that I have told you the impact that you have made on me as a person and poet.

When I came to PiP, I was touched by the beauty of your poetry.  I loved the poems about your grand daughters - and I found so much beauty in your flower creations.  You have a green thumb for sure.

I moved from PiP to your other sites and poured over your poems.  They are beautiful and inspirational.  I thank you for sharing all that you have with us.

I remember when you first emailed me - it was about the Poetry Workshop. You have my limitless gratitude for getting the Workshop going again and for recognizing my desire to learn.  I have learned from you.

Please know how much I think of you and how deeply I care for you.

May this prayer helps in some small way.

Love,
Alison

Thank you so much for letting me to be a small part of your world as you took everyone in. My life has been blessed in knowing you and your work. I am praying for you and for your family.

I just finished reading the other link hoping to see some good news concerning your health, Marge.  Then I saw this one.  WOW!
You've had so much to deal with these last months, Marge.  Do you suppose it's God's way of saying you need to rest?  
We're thankful you've so generously shared your talents with us.  You've shown a loving, upbeat attitude even when your world seemed to be falling apart.  Thank you so much, Marge.

Love and God bless,
  Rae
(Thanks to Tracy and Karen for informing us)
May those 2 little gals remember the great love Grandma Marge had for them always.

I haven't been at Pip too much of late so this news came as rather a shock.  Marge showed a lot of caring to me at one time in my life and I shall always be grateful for that.  She is indeed an inspiration to all of us and that inspiration will always be even if the expected change in her life comes about.

I believe it is merely a change and the love and admiration of all her friends and family will keep her close.

Thank you, Marge, for being here for all of us in so many different ways.  May love follow all your days - there will be many more!

With love
Helen

Muys is sending her love too. She was shocked, like I was, when I told her the bad news about her loving friend abroad.
She's wondering why God let her live so long while others have to go too young.

Last night I've looked up a florist in DeLand and ordered a bouquet of tulips. They'll be delivered to the hospital the 20th of January. In each one of them Mommy Muys and I have put our hugs and knuffels.
Embracing you in spirit Marge, we'll be with you all the way.

Love, Titia and Mommy Muys

This is devastating news.

Dearest Marge, please know....you are not alone.

I'm sending a card and letter tomorrow. My heart goes out to you, for I know this disease personally. I undergo Chemo each Tuesday in an attempt to subdue liver cancer, metastasized from a colon tumor removed late last October.

Please, keep fighting this invader with every ounce of energy you can muster. Miracles do happen.

You are a wonderfully inspiring poet, and a friend to all at Pips.

May all this love that is poured into your heart bring you calmness and serenity, despite the disquieting medical results. You are not alone and besides your family and friends there are also your Native American ancestors who will connect with your spirit and bring you peace, while your body and soul will align with divine perfection. You have written so many wonderful poems about your very special perceptivity. Your book “Out of the Whispering Winds” is an awesome work.
You walk your Path in wonderful awareness, dear Marge, and we are with you.

Oh, no. I am so very sorry to read such a grim diagnosis. Thank you, Karen... I know it wasn't easy bearing bad tidings.

Marge, I know that when your time comes, you'll be waking in heaven because you're a believer... and you have one of the kindest, purest hearts I've ever had the privilege of knowing.

I'm hoping for a miracle, hoping you have years more to enjoy those grandygirls, hoping we're blessed with your voice among us for a long, long time. I know your strength so I don't think my hopes are in vain.

But if they are, then I'm grateful for the chance to say thank you... for your poetry, for your friendship, for the many times you've pulled me into a brighter place through your love and caring. I know heaven isn't gained through deeds but if it was, you've earned many keys.

I love you, sweet lady... and I'll be praying for you and your wonderful family.

"The Other Side of the River"
-by Marge Tindal
from "Out of the Whispering Winds".

There is a place that I am bound
where loved ones who have gone before
wait for me in anticipation
that I will reach the other shore~

The other side of the river of life
that truly knows no end
I swim the tide...reaching out
seeking the outstretched hands of friends~

Many have walked through this life with me
then swam for the other shore
They watched, they waited, and now they see
I am coming over....forevermore~

Dear Marge, thank you for allowing me
to come along with you as you compiled
and published your first book.

I am so very proud to be called your friend.
With Eternal Love and Huglets, Nancy.

I'd rather be loving and so with a heart that aches I must tell you that you have indeed touched my life and that I wish you peace, comfort, strength and a big dose of courage. But mostly I send you love. With deepest regards, Larry C

Thanking you, Mysteria, for the opportunity to send (which I did on your link) the following prayer for Marge:

Dear God, thank you for the wonderful gift you have given us in our friend, Marge.  Please help her celebrate her life and her work of spreading love wherever she goes by helping her to fight, fight, fight this disease and win!  Help her to continue to believe in miracles and to know that we are all praying and supporting her and fighting for her and with her, especially when she has to take a breather in the fight.  Help her, after each breather, to take up the fight once again.  Please, dear God, do this for Marge so that she can enjoy many, many more years of health and happiness; please dear God, do this for her family and friends, including her Pipster friends because we all need her so much.

Marge, I was so sorry to hear about your diagnosis.
You and your family continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.



I remembered a poem I wrote for you many years ago (boy, that was over 8 years ago Marge),
I wanted to bring it in here for you. I hope
someone will read this for you ... for me.  

Sending a big {{{hug}}} your way, for all the many
that have been bestowed in return.

.
Her Gentle Spirit


On silent wings with eagle's sight,
She comes to me on wing'ed flight;
Profoundly, we are intertwined,
Of kindred spirit, through these lines.

Much more than words upon a page,
For rich and true, her heritage;
A wise and gentle spirit calls,
Beyond the realm of Passion's walls.

A tender nature, to behold,
As sweetly penned, her words unfold;
The essence of her soul instills,
The spirit 'neath her feathered quill.

To give in kind, the love she shares,
To touch another unaware;
Her light within, envelopes deep,
For what she sows, is that she reaps.

Compassion floats across the miles,
To grace another with a smile;
And back to her, these feelings flow,
With tender love, dear heart bestow.

And so my spirit rises high,
To drift toward your moonlit sky;
And settles there, by river's bank,
Beside you ... softly giving thanks.

.
/Kit McCallum
.PS ... Hey Marge, here's the little Marge smiley I did up for
you many moons ago too ... she comes along with another {{{hug}}}

Marge, just to let you know that I am still at it, sending fullblast, powerpunch prayers for miracles upon miracles for you.  I know you will receive those miracles, in many, many forms and that you will help them along with your unbelievable spirit.  When you are tired, take a little rest, and we all will support you and carry you through until you are rested enough to take up the fight again.  We need you.  

As scary and dreadful as the diagnosis is, and as long as it has been in materialising, it is, nevertheless, a DIAGNOSIS.  So now it is easier to attack with whatever the medical world can give you, and prayers by the cartloadfuls!  I hope you have received mine, but if it isn't "through" yet, know that it is already posted.  

Prayerful huglets à la Marge (and those are powerful ones!)

Margie Girl, I am posting here a poem that you wrote a few years ago regarding my missing muse.
I treasure it and your delightful sense of wit, charm, and humour.


Holding Earth Angel’s Muse Captive
~*Marge Tindal*~

Earth Angel’s muse done up and left her
She’s found a new place to dwell
You’ll find her splashing her ink-of-think
In Marge Tindal’s inkwell~

You’ll be so lonely Earthy
You’ll be so lonely you could cry~


And though she’s always splashing
You can hope she finds some room
To bring you back a thought or two
before you feel the gloom~

You’ll just be so lonely
You could cry~


Marge Tindal’s words keep on flowing
while Earthy Angel is dressed in black
Moaning and a'groaning
"Oh, please, please send her back."~

So if your muse has up and left you
and you’ve got a poetic tale to tell
Just take a walk down Florida way
for a dip in Marge Tindal's new inkwell~

You’ll be so happy to find her
you will cry~


~*~
Earthy Angel's title
is to blame for my fits of inspired laughter this afternoon~ /main/forumdisplay.cgi?action=displayarchive&number=90&topic=000266
Thank you dearest Poetess~



~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost,
the spirit rejoices over what it has left.
- Sufi epigram <))><

Karen,
Have you or anyone else received any new news from Tracie as to Marge's condition today. I'm hoping the doctors have the pneumonia under control. Is Marge strong enough to undergo treatment?

xx,
Kacy

I have treasured Marge as one of the dearest poet friends I have.  I knew she wasn't well, but didn't know it was so bad until another pip-friend told me.  So I came here to see what I could do.  And of course, there it is.  I can pray.  Thank you for reminding me.

Been hard for me to respond to this, Marge. We have been friends for so long, from the time you interviewed me for the PIP newsletter, the time you chased me in the PIP Sadie Hawkins Day race, all through the years we have shared these blue pages together. It's just not the same not having you around, with your brilliant plays on words in your poetry and comments and your unending support of everyone here.

I'm praying for you, margie

You know?  I am finding this almost surreal to be honest.  The people we love we expect to last forever don't we?  Thank goodness for this place, and the friendships created here, because they actually do get to leave a wonderful legacy for friends and family members.  Marge, has been the "Marge In Charge" here as long as I can remember, and always will be.  I just send all the prayers and strength I can to her children, and grandchildren to be there for her, and take a bit of time to be there for themselves as well.  May you all know that Marge was loved by more people than you could ever imagine.  God be with you all and her.  Marge you are truly loved by so many.  I pray your journey is an easy one, and my heart is with you all.

I came to speak to the wind, in pleasing voice.  Songs sung in tapestry, that weave wheat and flowers into a soft carpet fit to carry forth the promise of eternal love.

Willow White Feather smiled within that wind, and sang back to me the songs of heaven and earth.

Thinking of you Marge.

Marge, oh, our dear darling Marge...
Reading all the out-pouring of love for you, is truly an emotional experience. I'm so choked up, I can barely write. I literally have tears streaming down my cheeks. I still mourn the loss of those pipsters who have gone before you.
Your poetry, your spirit, your wit, and charm will remain at Passions and in our hearts forever. I love you, Margie Girl. I truly do.

Love & Everlasting Light,
Your Earthy One

Marge, I became hysterical in church today and had to leave. Thinking of all the wonder and joy you have brought to PiP. You have been such a caring and loving friend to so many, me included. You have stuck by me through trials and tribulations and been kind and understanding. We have been friends for so long; long before either of us ever heard of Pip. Oh, and how you begged me to come here even though I felt my words were not good enough.

You have been an inspiration to me in how to be a 'Mimi' by the way you have been a 'Poet' to your beautiful little girls. They love you so much. I hope one of them becomes a great writer like you. You have shown them the way. May your light and spirit always shine on them.

I so desperately want you to get well; to return to your girlie-girls; your children and to so many of your friends here who love you.

Sending you warm hugs and kisses and Ron and I continue storming Heaven with get-well prayers. We will continue to pray every day.

I love you so much, Marti

Titia, I have saved that highly sentimental collage of Marge and our fellow pipsters. It brings a lump to my throat and tears to my eyes.

Balladeer, yes, may she choose the path to you. Our beloved 'Sigh Man' is already surrounded by a host of angels!

Marge, I'm lighting another candle for you this evening. You are never far from my thoughts.

Please tell Delaney and Landry that their Queen Angel sends her love to them as well.

My heart is broken, again.

I only hope it heals stronger.

Marge is still in charge.

I told her once, that our renewed friendship was considered questionable, and her response was beautifully MARGE:

"It's nobody's business."

Thank you, Marge, for being my friend.

I will never, ever forget you...

You taught me. And I'm grateful.

I will plant hibiscus this spring.

Nan, I never thought that I'd see our beloved Marge on our Remember Page. It saddens me beyond words. Thank you for all that you do for pip, as well. It is very much appreciated.

I thought that I would include in this thread, the comments that I wrote about our Margie Girl on the Remember Page.


Besides Marge’s “beautimous” poetry,
photography, and philanthropy,
I will also remember fondly,
her love for her grandiegirlies
~ Delaney and Landry,
her pride in her Native American blood,
and how she loved the full moon and flowers.
Her legacy will forever live on in the hearts
of those whose lives she has touched.
