Received an email stating that Pandora has passed away on Oct 6. JB asked that you all raise a glass in her honor this Friday Oct 10 at 9pm est.

Had a stroke followed by cardiac arrest a week or so later. Couldnt recover.

    Oh man, I'm so sorry to hear that.

    JB loved the hell out of her (and vice versa).

    They both posted some really nice pieces in the poetry forum.

    My good thoughts to him and their family.

    Very sad...received a nice holiday card from her. May she be at peace.
    My heard goes out to you JB.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Very sad news. R.I.P. Pandora. We didn't always see eye to eye in AMT but you always held your ground, JB stood good by your side, and we had some good times here too on AET and I'm grateful for that. Best wishes to JB and the rest of her family.

    I was so heart broken to hear from JB today about the terribly sad news that Pandora had passed. I haven't been in contact with either of them for a while but they have always been in my thoughts. Pandora had been a wonderful friend to me, and even though I had never met her or JB I knew from the wonderful chats we had and the gifts we shared that she was a truly caring, loving and wonderful woman.
    Arohanui my friend, may you find peace.
    JBii and your family, my love and thoughts are with you in this heart wrenching time.

    So so very sad. Just talked with JB this morning. He is beyond grief. They'd been togehter so long its like they were one. Pandi was a beautiful soul. Our discussions over poetry and art and life always meant so much. I love(d) her dearly. So saddened. I wish we'd not lost touch over these last few months after the forum changed. Those are my only regrets when it comes to knowing Pandi. The world has lost a gorgeous person. May JB find peace.
    Love you all,
    Jo
    peace,

    I agree Cliffy. I certainly had my run ins with her but she did have a free spirited flower child thing about her. She said what she felt that was in her heart for sho. I don't post much anymore but I had to say a few words over on AMT about Pandora and what she meant to me in the many bad times along with the good times.

    All the best to JB and the rest of the family carry on her light through the strong Midwest winds....
    May you always RIP....Pandora

    Ugh. Just found out on AMT and posted there.

    Her name was actually Pandora. Didnt know that.

    She is one of us, and she left her mark on everyone here, at least regulars/semi regulars. She seemed like a really nice and caring person.

    Ill raise a glass at 9PM Friday
