Oh my dear Laura -- and Gerald, BDG's husband. I feel such shock and loss. I know you've had some time to grieve, but I imagine that it is still so hard for you and all the family. Please accept many loving and caring SOS hugs from me.
I remember your Mom well. I forget which Board this was on, but a while back there was a thread or two inspired by the drastic rise in gas prices and an increased interest in frugality. It was your Mom, I think, who posted about boiling green beans over a fire started by your Dad and canning them all. I was so impressed with that! I'm glad that she was able to find a community on-line. I've been to the Appalachias (sp?), and they are stunningly beautiful, but I could see how it is very easy to be very isolated, too.
My deepest sympathy to you all.

I am so sorry to hear this. I was on both of the old boards with BDG. MessySue My mother Kathy Sue, known to you as BDG, passed away 9/11/08. I am sorry I am just now posting this. I remembered that she used to post on the old squalor board, infact I was the person that sent her the link to the site many years ago.

Deepest condolences on your loss. And thank you kindly for letting us know of her passing.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I know that you must be feeling so much loss. I appreciated reading your mother's posts. I'm sure she helped many people whom she had never even met.

Laura:
On both the old and new boards, I lurk about 90% and come out of the woodwork to post about 10%. I remember your mother very, very well, and just referred to her method of housecleaning again when it was reposted recently. What a shock it was to learn of her sudden passing.
My deepest sympathies to you and your family. Hang in there. I lost my mother seven years ago, and all of these things (like reading her posts) will make you feel so close to her when you need to the most!
Blessings to you and yours.
