YO SOOZ

I've been thinking the same thing. Sooz, I miss you. Hope the holiday hasn't worn you out much.

from alt.fashion, dated 11-25-2003:

My first response is WTF, except I have to temper that because I have left countless times, myself. I wasn't here enough to know who was giving Soozie @#%$ but I do know that I would rather have her here than most of the other people who visit these parts. No disrespect intended, but she is worth a lot to me.

Becki,

It seems that Sooz felt it was time to move on. I have no clue what sparked this, nor would I presume to guess. I only hope that she will miss us as much as we will miss her and come back.

Thanks, Linda, for the kind response.

Becki, I started to email you then I deleted it.. I did not really want to be the one to announce that Sooz had left the group.

It was a sad day when she did.

Just over two years ago Sooz breathed life into this group. It was just about 6 messages a day in those days. Sooz came in and like a pair of bellows used to fan the embers of a fire into flame she breezed in.

Sooz was one of my life lines back there two years ago. It is no mistake to say that I was dying with my heart problems because I was. Sooz uplifted me on my really down days. I heard my own GP ring the hospital and tell them if they did not get a move on she would have no patient for them to treat. It was hard to take that I could soon be dead and still a lot of crafts to pass on to others.

Sooz was there for me and she organised the first bead hug that anyone had ever had. I still have those beads and look at them often remembering all of you who sent them.

I am sorry that Sooz is no longer on the NG and I hope she will come back.

Already the postings have taken a nose dive. I used to have about

Sooz's HAW is missed and I greatly miss her along with the others who have absented themselves over the last few days.

The sad thing is I've heard so many good things about Sooz but never had the pleasure to get to know her. Bummer.

She is to me, too, and I will miss her a lot. I don't know if anyone was specifically giving her a hard time, but the group *can* be draining, and with her illness, it's possible that she just realized that she had to sacrifice something for her continued well-being.

She is someone that I would describe as a Really Good Person. She has a very strong personality and shoots from the hip, sometimes says blunt things that get taken wrong, but she is kind. Very kind.

Let us hope that one day she may peek in again.

In site of being ill herself Sooz had great compassion for other souls who are also inflicted with various illnesses.

I hope you get the chance to know her. Shirley
