To see the words 'I'm sad' or 'I'll miss Fly' just doesn't seem to cut it.
Reading through the posts has been a joy and has made me cry. I'm so glad to know that we all care for eachother and that fly had a hand in bringing us all together, because she was one of the people that made tvch so welcoming.

I'll miss you fly, may you never have to eat PB&J in the BB house in the sky

So many songs are going thru my mind...

Rest in peace, you truly are that "fly on the wall" and know that we here at TVCH are hoping that you will be heard in that BB insanity... can you just imagine? Let them hear this fly on the wall!!

My heart hurts for Fly's family and friends. I didn't know her personally, but she is one of the few names I specifically remember from joining TVCH for the BB boards last summer and what made me remember her name was her humor and patience. Fly and all of her loved ones are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you again for each of your kind notes. I'm printing them all. Jan, thank you for pointing out the other page. I printed those too. I would have missed it if not for your note. I just wanted to make sure you all know that the family will see all these and that they will be touched as I am in how much love this group shared with Bobbi.
Thank you for easing our sorrow and sharing your laughter and memories. Sincerely, Fly Family ~Tami

Tami, please be sure and read Bobbi's member folder on here. It's is in a Members only area but you should be able to access it just as you are able to post. Flyonthwall's Member Folder

I always thought she had a great name and I always enjoyed her insight. I'm touched that she thought of us and wanted to make sure we knew of her passing.

She is now in heaven, looking down on us, just as we look at the HGs. She is enjoying the best Big Brother ever.

I just read about Fly. I noticed she was not here, but just found out why. She's in a better place where she's not in pain anymore. She'll be missed...

Draheid, thank you! I found the section for her. I will print it out also. You are all so helpful and it has helped me so much, I am a bit rattled right now, so thank you for your guidance. Thanks again to each of you. Sincerely, Fly family ~Tami

Well, I make a donation every year around Big Brother time and decided today was the day. I doubled my usual amount

In Loving Memory of FLy

You can use Paypal ( http:\www.paypal.com ) and send funds to admin@enbcom.com. FLy will be happy if you do.

Tami, I know that Bobbi's folder was mostly archived but someone was saving the posts for her, so hopefully you'll get those too. I know
she'd be so pleased to have you and the rest of the family feel all that love.

I know I've been filled with pain since last night, but in reading through all of these threads and re-reading her latests posts and remembering how it made me smile when she replied to me and Pamy.. I've smiled many many times since last night and been reminded of the basic love of this big TVCH family.

Love and gentle hugs to all the FLy family.

I met Fly last year when I started doing the LFP's. She went out of her way to make me feel welcome and I enjoyed chatting with her when we did the feeds together. She was a huge advocate for those doing the feeds, posting their names and bumping up the appreciation thread all the time with her trademark "You Rock!" and even taking to task the few who posted "suggestions" for the LFPer's ;)
She will be missed.
Fly, I hope now you are the ultimate Flyonthewall at all of your favorite places :))

I have missed Fly so much this year and am saddened by this news. Before BB started I had posted a question if anyone knew how she was doing because I hadn't seen any recent posts from her and did not get a reply. Her absence was noticed right away. We'll miss you Fly!

I had some free time, so what did I do?
I checked the computer to see if I'd heard from you!
I used to walk out to a box to retrieve mail.
But I'd rather get it instantly, than wait on the snail!
Checking my e-mail is always fun!
I usually get a joke or greeting from someone.
I feel so blessed because on the other end,
I know I've connected with a friend!
When I've had a hard day and need to share,
Here I can find a friend who will listen and care.
And to this friend I hope I've let them know
That I am always there for them also!
Isn't it a strange kind of bond we form?
It isn't exactly like the "norm"!
But, where is it written, face to face we must be,
For you to be a very good friend to me??
That little joke or note, or just a simple "Hi",
Could be like a ray of sunshine from the sky!
So my online pals, this is dedicated to you,
For all the smiles you have made anew!
May our friendship continue to grow,
And the warmth we feel continue to flow!
Always remember this...
A smile is such an easy thing to pass along the way,
Like a ray of summer sunshine,
On a somewhat gloomy day!!


Thank you for being my Online Friend!!!

To Bobbi/Fly's family: I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I cannot imagine the pain you must feel in your heart right now from losing such a special person.


I remember Fly was one of the first people to welcome me to the Clubhouse. We bonded over our shared love of Mickey Mouse. She also helped me learn to post graphics and cheered me on while I did LFP's. I loved her trademark "You Rock"!

It's rare to find a special kindred spirit like our Fly. She had that ability to touch people's hearts and reach out to people in times of need. She had a way with words and could always put a smile on my face. The Clubhouse won't ever be the same without Ms. Fly and I will always feel a void without her here.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Fly's family. She was so very special and was always willing to help her fellow TVCH-ers. {{{{{Fly}}}}}

I happened to hear this Celine Dion song today and feel that it was meant for "our" Fly...

Fly fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again

Fly fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this mem'ry bittersweet
Until we meet

Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won't forget

Fly, fly little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light

Tami and family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Bobbi was so very special to dozens of people at this web-site, people who never even met her in person, so I can only imagine the depth of your sadness at losing her.

Like so many other TVCH post-ers, I remember very early in my membership here Bobbi was one of the very first people to welcome and encourage me to post more often. I remember her coming across in all her gently-worded posts as kindhearted, and genuinely concerned about others' well-being. Bobbi set the bar high, and her friendship is what many of us measure against in determining how responsible we are in fulfilling the commitment we have to our fellow man. No matter how ill Fly felt, she always came to the board and posted to her friends, and she always answered posts individually. I can't remember how many times she designed graphics and personalized them for EVERY member with a folder at TVCH. That took talent, creativity, love, and more than a little time.

What a loving, generous woman, and what a big loss this is to our group. Please accept our condolences. I think you were lucky to have had her as a sister-in-law. Thank you for allowing us to express our feelings and for letting the rest of your family know how much Bobbi was a part of the TVCH family. We will truly miss her.

Another email from her family...

I do have a photo that you might want to put on the list. I have no idea if anyone there even knows what she looks like, and it might be nice for them to put a face with her name. If that is possible and permissable to do so. I am sending it as an attachment if that is good for you.

I really appreciate all you've done. I don't really need to leave any more notes there. I wanted everyone to know we did get them. I have a lot to do yet so I can't go by there everyday, but I will go back after a while a pick up what notes I may have missed. This is one big file of notes! I'm so proud of her that so many thought of her so nicely. Over time these will be such a comfort to us all. Thank you again for having such a great place with such wonderful people.
Deepest regards,
Tami


Fly

ps: I decided to post this photo after consulting with other TVCH members and her family and after learning that she once had a photo attached with her profile. Admin

Fly was beautiful both inside and out! Her posts always put a smile on my face because she always sounded excited and upbeat even when she admitted to being in pain. She is sorely missed

I guess Fly's family suggested contributions to the tvch in her memory.

I appreciate all your contributions. There have been a few.

At first I wasn't sure what to do with this money, I knew it had to go towards the board, but not sure how exactly. Suddenly the answer became obvious: contributions from you, in memory of Flyonthwall, will go towards upgrading our discussion board software to the new, rewritten version.

This new version, Discus4, incorporates some new goodies like private messaging, statistics, icons, integrated tools, etc. It also keeps us up-to-date with tech support and bug fixes.

It will take some time to get this all figured out, our 'look and feel' skin files will not work with the new software so they have to be re-created, as well as other customizations.

I'm looking at maybe a 6 month implementation time. Thank you for your patience and understanding and above all, for your contributions that are making this possible!

Reading about this has been very sad. Fly was a good person. It is easy to see that from the good she has brought out in others. May she be in peace and light and be with us all in spirit.
