Rest in Peace dear Rosie you will be missed....
Gone Away
I cannot say and I will not say
That she is dead, she is just gone away.
With a cheery smile and a wave of hand
She has wandered into an unknown land;
And left us dreaming how very fair
Its needs must be, since she lingers there.
And you-oh you, who the wildest yearn
From the old-time step and the glad return-
Think of her faring on, as dear
In the love of there, as the love of here
Think of her still the same way, I say;
She is not dead, she is just gone away.

James Whitcomb Riley, American poet (1849 - 1916)

How terribly sad, I don't know what to say except my thoughts are with her family and all who knew her. Thanks Alec for posting.

How very very sad. I always read her posts with interest and loved the rapport and friendship that you and she seemed to have, Alec.
Thoughts are with her friends and family.xx

thank you for keeping us up to speed Alec.
My thoughts are with Rosie's family, and I hope that she has found peace. I also hope she has found some wonderful hunting elsewhere - rolling turf, proper hedges and some good sport.

very sorry to hear of Rosie's passing. Hope her family take comfort in the fact that she was a much loved member of the forum.
Maybe someone could pull together a montage of Rosies best posts as a hommage (sp ?) to her.
Thanks for updating us all Alec.

There's an expanded version of this on the Latest News thread, but I've arranged for flowers to go direct to Rosie's home, and the card is from everyone on this forum. I only hope that you approve.
I have Rosie's home address, for those who want to send their own tributes. I will only release her home address to known HHOers, so if you'd like it, then PM me. Arwyn did ask that flowers go direct to the house, which I think is what Rosie would have wanted, too.

I am missing Rosie more and more as each day passes.
Am I the only one who can imagine her posts in more recent debates and threads?
God bless you Rosie. You will never be forgotten.

Wotcha Padds,
you wouldn't believe, over the last few days, when arguing with halfwits, when I've almost said;
"I wonder what Rosie would have to say". But then I think that she'd only get herself another ban!!
You're not alone. We all miss the clear, concise and occasionally caustic response.
I'm not enjoying this, one bit.
I did PM JM, and he seems to have opened it. I do know that she was actually very fond of him, and I've hoped that he may yet be able to join us.

Hello, Bridgit! Glasses, candles and wishes of Godspeed on the journey raised at 2pm tomorrow, I think, don't you?

That's lovely Bridgit2. Your Beltex lamb is just scrumptious. Do hope the poo problem is under control.
Alec - you lovely man. How kind to arrange the flowers.
My condolences to the family on their loss and to all the HHOers who have lost a much loved friend.

I haven't a clue who you are, but as always, Rosie would be quite right, you are mad!
Thank you for your advice. I shall sit for a while, and in silence, tomorrow afternoon. I shall think of Arwyn, John and Alun. I think that I shall spend the time with my mares, I think that the Dear Girl would approve.
Why the passing of a stranger should be so difficult, I can't explain, but it is.

Thanks Bridgit for the info, its good to know. Alec I really do believe that over time all of us here become more than just words to each other. Its funny but I find that I have also formed a picture in my mind of most of the regular contributors here - Whether this would bare any resemblence to actuality is of course open to question! I have a picture of Rosie in my head and I dont know but it always make me smile...I will be reserving this time tomorrow as well for some small reflection for Rosie.

We had our disagreements, but more agreements.
I have more PMs from Rosie in my inbox than any from other member.
Happy hunting, Rosie x

I often think to send her a PM, and to ask how she is. This forum is now a poorer place, but that isn't what she'd want. I feel sure that Rosie would want us to take comfort in each other.
