    This has been said at every funeral in my family ( A traditional Irish prayer):

    God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be.
    So He put His arms around you and whispered “come to me.”
    With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away.
    Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay.
    A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest.
    God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

    In my thread once someone said.... Are you cool enough to be friends with Snw_.... I thought, I wish I was that cool. I'm sorry for the loss that everyone is feeling, she must have been a powerful friend.

    *big hugs* to everyone that needs them!

    Ok, I have to share this. One night I was up late on MFP (duh) and she posted something about a video she shot. So of course everyone is asking her about it, as I did too. She sends me a text of this video she took, dancing and stripping, but mostly being goofy. Next thing I know she's cussing on her MFP status and at me, b/c she accidentally sent it to her brother first, instead of me. *grin* So she sends him a follow up text asking him to PLEASE delete without opening.

    OMG, I laughed so hard. And then she cussed me some more and laughed too.


    *edited to add, now I'm crying too Brett. I just went to look at that video again and the last text I got said "I love you baby girl"

    Fuck.

    I remember this night with true affection and humor as she had sent me the video prior to her initial post about it and when I saw everyone requesting it, I teased her that she was in trouble now, that everyone wants a piece of the amazing woman known as "Snw" ... and then when I saw that she had sent it to her brother, I remember telling her that she wasn't suppose to take me THAT literally. She had a few choice words for me after that comment, lol.

    Love you Nancy ...

    One thing we always talked about was our shared desire to one day be with a woman, though neither of us had been. we talked about this a lot! One morning, i woke up to an email from her that she'd sent at like, 3AM telling me she'd just had her first girl kiss. She was so excited, and i was so jealous!!!

    I found this picture of her - I believe it is the one from when her and Miss K went to the firefighter thing not that long ago.

    This past February, before I got to know her I was in was in the Garden of the Gods. I saw this stunning blonde girl running like the wind through the rocks...I Iike to think it was snw. She was beautiful and raw like the landscape.

    Every time I look at my healing 9" surgery incision on my knee, I think of her, she calmed my fears since she had had several knee surgeries and got a kick out of seeing my pic of my 25 staples post-op :smile:

    I just found out about this today, and I am so so sorry. She was a wonderful and loving person, and I am so sorry that she's gone so young. Just a complete heartbreaker.

    The song from the aforementioned video I still have in my texts. I heard it on the radio today on the way back from the doctor's and I couldn't help but giggle.

    I want to thank everyone who posted tributes, and blogs and such. It is amazing how someone's "virtual" friendship can mean so much. This song has been running through my head all week. I thought I would share it with you all today, Friday the 13th. The day of Nancy's memorial.
