She was part of the chess players group.
Always had a positive word to share.
May God bless and keep her.
Amen.
 
How sad. 😦

I remember Peggy. She was so nice and I remember her funny posts about penguins.

May she Rest In Peace.
 
Yes, for years, first here and later on Facebook she was 99 and I was Max.
She even moved from Burien to Seattle proper.
I believe that for some reason she stopped using CAF a number of years prior to her passing. I once asked her but she merely “played dumb”.
Yes, my partner had a quick mind, along with a kind heart.
Praise be to God that He sent her to us.
 
Peggy of Burien. I didn’t know she’d gone to where CAFers hope to go (later rather than sooner).
God bless her soul and the souls of all CAF members who have left this world.
When those we’ve known and respected disappear, we can’t always be sure whether they outgrew us, or left us for The Good Place. And now that members can hide their profile page, if they were to disappear, we also can’t know if they left through the other door … which is preferable, as otherwise a haunting red sentence remains forever below their names.
I miss some of our past members sometimes. Often. There are many whose loss to CAF is considerable.

Does anyone remember “puzzleannie”? One day a long while ago she just stopped posting.
She was really funny and kind. I hope she’s ok, and just decided to not post anymore.
 
Yes, I found her on someone’s Catholic blog some time after she disappeared from CAF.
I tried to make a contact but she didn’t respond. She had left without any public comment, and her profile page carried no explanation. I may have misunderstood but I detected some weariness in some of her responses before she left. Perhaps she needed a break and it became permanent.
She was a strong presence in the forum.
She was one of the members in my mind in the post above.

Just got home from a weekend of swing dancing in D.C. – the DC Lindy Exchange (DCLX). This was my fourth year attending, and this year I actually was able to stay for the final dance on Sunday evening at Catholic University (in Caldwell Hall, for those of you familiar with the campus). Had some nice dances. I got into the jam circle on the next-to-last song at Caldwell, and popped some wheelies. ♿

And yes, I did get to confession and Mass at the Basilica. Timing actually worked out great … I finished my confession just in time for the start of the 10:30 Mass; after Mass, had lunch in the cafeteria; then drove over to Glen Echo Park for the Sunday afternoon dance and got there right at the start time. Couldn’t have planned it any better if I tried.
 
No posts since May 2! 😱

And I am definitely not taking this thread seriously.

😴💤💤
 
FWIW I appreciate knowing this. Puzzleannie is one of the posters from the early days of CAF who I’ve wondered about.
 
@Bruised_Reed
Yes, she was impressive, a strong, reliable, wise poster.
Do you remember pyropam.
She became mayor of her city, and thus, together with her family responsibilities, lacked sufficient time to return to CAF.

I missed whatevergirl too, she contributed so much, and was active on many groups. She disappeared without a trace.
There were many others …

I remember each of them and what they contributed to the forum. I revisit old threads because of them and others.
 
We also didn’t just have PMs we had our profile walls for communication, and active groups of many kinds, in addition to friends list facilities, So we were able to communicate on several levels to form close friendships.

There are good facilities in this new platform, and we are thankful, but the old one was home for many of us longterm members 😊

In case y’all missed my post in the prayer room … my aunt Linda died yesterday. She’d been battling breast cancer for 4 years. (Her husband, my uncle Chuck, said it was a blessing to get 4 years, since the doctors originally predicted she’d only survive 1-2 years.)

Please pray for the repose of her soul, and for comfort for Uncle Chuck, and their children Matt & Megan.
 
:pray:t2: May God have mercy on her soul, and grant comfort to her family and love ones.

Eternal rest grant her, O Lord
And let perpetual light shine upon her.
May her soul
And the souls of all the faithful departed,
Through the mercy of God,
Rest in peace.
Amen.
 
I’ll be going up to Michigan for a memorial luncheon the first weekend in June.

I’ve also requested a Mass intention for Aunt Linda at my home parish on June 30.
