I am so sorry to hear this. Fly was a good reason so many found a home here. She was always encouraging others, always so positve, and one of the most caring people here. She will be missed by all of us.

I was very saddened to hear this news and add my condolences to Bobbi's family.

Fly, as we knew her, contributed so much to the spirit of this board and spent many hours doing live feed posting for other's enjoyment, even when she was not always feeling at her best, because I think she loved this place as much as we all do.

Fly was always the first one to cheer others on and give them a "way to go" or a "job well done".

She made us laugh and made us smile. She will be missed, but her kind spirit will remain in the hearts of those she touched.

I can't begin to express my thoughts. Fly was a wonderful member of this site and a joy to "work with" in the Live Feeds.

She has been missed this year already, several folks who had not been here since last years Big Brother wrote me and asked how she was and I directed them to her members folder.

It says a lot that those people remembered her.

Like others here have said, Fly was the one I credit with getting me out of lurker mode, transforming me into a happy LFPer. She was always so supportive and encouraging while I battled my own health issues. Just reading her posts would bring inspiration to a difficult day---you could just see her smile in her words!

For Fly's wonderful presence among us here, I am truly thankful. May her family find comfort in knowing she will be so fondly remembered by so many here. The best of the best, she was!

Fly home now sweet angel! Thanks for sharing your wonderful spirit with us.

We all interact here, sometimes quibble, and unfortunately it takes something like this to realize all of us are humans with lives that are part of a shared community

And how thoughtful of Fly to think of us and leave instructions. The cyber world can be so unreal, but when people disappear and there is no way to follow up, it can be a mystery. Though the news is sad, it was like her to do this.

Oh, the tears are really flowing. Fly will never really be gone because she left so many friends and warm memories.

She was a great LFP, but even more she was our support team and cheerleader.

Just a precious, funny, very very special person.

Sweet Fly, farewell.. look for the twinkles as we light candles for you.

And to Bobbi's family: what a loss, shared by so many.

Fly, you will be sadly missed. You really made a difference. My thoughts are with your family.
Goodnight fly, but not Goodbye.

And I'll add, back to her, something she said so often to many of us.

I just can't stop crying... I keep remember all the things she did for me... for all of us! I keep remember the marathon posting she and I did during BB2. When I got really sick last year and wanted to give up... She was ALWAYS there to pick me up, brush me off, and remind me that life is worth living -- life is worth fighting for!

My heart is truly breaking right now. I really have lost a member of the family. I find myself thinking things like, "What will we do without her?"

I take comfort in knowing that where she is.. she is whole... she is mobile.. and she is no longer in pain. And that is a blessing! But the selfish part of me just wants her back for just a time to tell her just how much she means to me. How she kept me going when all hope was lost... How her spirit was so great that she let it spill into others whose spirits were weakened -- without diminishing herself.

Bobbi -- I hope you are seeing this where you are.... know you will be missed... know you are loved... and know that that love still lives within each person you touched -- and there are MANY! You are an inspiration in an otherwise difficult world. You are a ray of sunshine on a bleary day. You are truly a blessing to us all!

Blessed Be,
FaeryGdds

Fly's already started doing her Angel work; when I came over here, led by a link in the Big Brother area, after I'd cried and cried and posted in this thread, then I saw Suek's thread about her lost daughter.. so Fly led me there so I could sign the petition to ask for some publicity.

Feeling sad, pensive, but so happy to have worked with Fly.

Llcoolaid and Dri, that is just what I thought of, Monica's quilt. Fly worked so hard to get that done. Even when she had to take breaks due to her health, she still kept it going. She was such a sweet voice here.

I, also, had no idea how seriously ill she was. My condolences to her family.

It's strange, but I was just thinking about her last night, just for a moment, I thought, gee, I haven't seen fly for a while. I thought about going to her folder and asking if she was still here.

This is so sad. I share with all of you who are crying at the keyboard for a woman we really didn't know, but cared so much for. We will miss her terribly.

God Speed Fly. If there is any gossip in heaven, there will be a Flyonthwall to keep it on balance and in order.

'Fly' - Jars of Clay
Be still let your hand melt into mine.
The part of me that breathes when you breathe is losing time.
I can't find the word to say I'll never say goodbye.

I'll fly with you through the night so you know I'm not letting go.
I'm not letting go.
My tears like rain fill up the sky.
Oh my love I'm not letting go, I won't let you go.

I saw the host of silent angels waiting on their own.
Knowing that all the promises of faith come alive when you see home.
Hold still and let your hand melt into mine.

And I'll fly with you through the night so you know I'm not letting go.
I'm not letting go.
My tears like rain fill up the sky.
Oh my love I'm not letting go, I won't let you go.

Shed your heart and your breath and your pain and fly.

Now you're alive.
I'll fly with you through the night so you know I'm not letting go.
I'm not letting go.
Tears like rain fill up the sky.
Oh my love I'm not letting go, I won't let you go.
I'm not letting go, I won't let you go.

That song is by the Christian musicians 'Jars of Clay'. Written for a similar situation. As soon as I heard of what happened, I had to listen to it and thought I would share it with the rest of you.
'Fly you will be missed.'

Kizer, that is beautiful. Is it yours, may I copy it? Fly would have loved it.

She was the epitome of everything that is good about TVCH. It doesn't surprise me at all that she asked for donations to be made to the board in lieu of flowers. She was always thoughtful and giving to everyone on the board and she continues that even now.

She's still with us.

I am so thankful to have shared some time with Fly. My heart aches for her family and all who loved her.

I'm sorry Kizer, I didn't see the credit to the Christian band at first. It is no less fitting.

I heard a fly buzz when I died;
The stillness round my form
Was like the stillness in the air
Between the heaves of storm.

The eyes beside had wrung them dry,
And breaths were gathering sure
For that last onset, when the king
Be witnessed in his power.

I willed my keepsakes, signed away
What portion of me
Could make assignable, - and then
There interposed a fly,


With blue, uncertain, stumbling buzz,
Between the light and me;
And then the windows failed, and then
I could not see to see.

--Emily Dickinson

Oh, no ... I was so relieved to see her posting here again this year. What a kind, sweet, dear lady. Generous to the core. Many tears, many thanks Fly.

Fly will be missed daily! WHat a sweet wonderful caring unselfish person. Fly was the first friend I made here, and she impressed me so much with her courage and strength. My thanks to her and my condolences to her family. My prayers and thoughts are with you all. She took a piece of our hearts, didn't she?

i'm sure i'm not the only one in tears this morning. it's so hard to lose someone who is a part of your life, no less so when they are merely keystrokes in the cybers.

behind every screen name is a living person, with hopes, dreams, friends, families, and, all too often, sorrows.

bobbi and i, like so many of you here, shared the burden of chronic illness that kept us from participating as much as we would have liked in "outside of the house" friendships and activities.

the wuh-wuh-wuh is a haven for all of us, and she was an important member of our extended family.

my prayers are with her family, who must be devastated at her loss. my heart is with fly, who is probably sitting at a pearly computer with madspeed and ram, tapping into the producers secret cam feeds and having a ball.

you will be missed, and never forgotten, dear.

Before I found this thread, I already posted for Fly in the BB area, but I wanted to be sure that a message would get back to Fly's family and friends, so once again, I'd like to say how sad I am to hear that Fly is no longer with us, and would like to express my deepest sympathy to her family.
Her kindness to new members is legendary, and I'm one of those who benefitted from her generosity and magnanimous spirit. I was missing her this year, and my greatest wish is that she will know how much her kindness meant to me. I know she will, because Heaven will have welcomed her with open arms.
Rest in Peace, dear Fly. You will never be forgotten.
Thank you Kizer and Tishala for your poems.
