Blessings for Byrd

CommunityPolitics

Heartbreaking news. A comment on Byrd's blog says she has passed away. I have not been able to confirm this. Wherever you are, Byrd, be at peace.

I wish I was as good a writer as Byrd and I knew how to express what I'm about to convey in the spiritually dignified manner that she deserves.

I live in the same building as Byrd. I was mentioned in one of her previous blogs about her cats. Sadly, Byrd has passed a way. I knew Byrd in a neighborly way. I thought Byrd had a wonderful, wonderful, heart. She was an evolved and conscious intelligent, loving, soul.

From what little I know, Byrd passed away quietly and unexpectedly at her home in solitude. Byrd's passing was discovered on August 6th, 2008 by her neighbors in the Coop where she lives. The police (who called a coroner) indicated that according to a perscription they saw in her home, she had seen a doctor on July 25th for a heart issue.

I just thought I would share this information here, so you, her friends could pray, meditate, and support her spirit in its passing.

Also, Byrd had three cats. Although I'm guessing a family member of hers will be handling the details, if there is anyone of Byrd's friends who would be able to provide a loving home for any or all of her cats, I presume that Byrd would appreciate that.

God bless.

I had a feeling something was amiss since July 29. First Barbara Pike, then Reverend Greg, now, evidently, Byrd; three of my favorite people in cyberspace. I can not describe how sad I feel right now. Sometimes, some people, try to make something out of these sort of untimely events. I hope they might reflect on that. Life really is dukkha; but we can also find an absolute happiness that is wholesome, blissful, constant, and authentic. I think Barbara, Greg, and Wendy must have found that.http://www.fraughtwithperil.co...scroll up ...

I opened up a new thread on her blog, if you'd like to share your thoughts and memories of our dear friend Byrd.http://www.fraughtwithperil.co...Michele
