Mario: K, LB. Thanks for being the 'organizer' of this!
Leather: called me, and oh my gosh Tommy talked to me!
AHHHH' It was just so funny, you could feel the energy in her voice. She was just flipping out. Or the time she met her beloved Tom!
Leather: LOL I have a picture of that, and she honestly
was the happiest person on this earth at that moment, like I said I can't choose one moment, I am just sad I never got the pleasure
Leather: to meet her although we came close
Leather: NEXT..
LB: Fee - you'll pass off to Felicity
Fee: Oh,geez I have so many memories of Maria.
Fee: When I first met her she would use the picture of
MaryJane the doll in the atvar screen. I was awed by her talent.
Fee: She was so kind I remember how Maria, Lexa and I
would all drive Martin insane over on Dustin's chat.
Fee: But I guess my fondest memories of Maria were when
she was laughing. Like the time we all discussed our favorite fellows in knitted Jock straps
Felicity: LOL!!!!!
Fee: Or the naming of Marisa and Tom's future children.
CJ: LOL
Fee: But what I loved best was when I would do the fantasy stories. Maria said she slept much better having a dream like
that running through her head.
Fee: Jake Maria and a wet towel will forever be my
memory of a great friend.
Fee: Felicity
LB: Felicity, you will pass over to Traci. Thanks
everyone for holding back the comments - MUCH easier to follow!
Felicity: Thanks Fee,...I really don't know how to pick
just one memory of Maria; everything about her was memorable:) However, I have decided to pick two of my favorites:)
Felicity: The first is when I met Maria at the luncheon
in April. GOD, she reeeallly wasn't kidding when she said she had
energy!! The first time I saw her she was running!LOL You
guys
Felicity: know how into photography she was. WELL, she had
this medium sized bag, and I swear to God, she kept pulling more and more things out of it! I swear, she had more in there than I
Felicity: have in my whole room! Well, I was laughing after she pulled out her third camera, and her other equipment. I was
teasing her, and she turned to me with this smart ass smile and
Felicity: said, ''Just wait until I pull out the lamp!''
LOL Like from Mary Poppins?
Felicity: Maybe you had to be there:)LOL
Fee: LOL
Felicity: The second is just a fond memory, altough not
sprung from a fond incident. Maria was very upset about something, and she asked me if she could call me sometime. I said sure, and
Felicity: gave her my number. Two seconds later, my
phone rings:)LOL We talked for two hours that night, and I came away with so much more insight into things! By the time we got off the
Felicity: phone, she was laughing again, so I hope I
helped:) Truthfully, she helped me more than I could ever help her just by being there. Of course, we went right back on the chat after
Felicity: that and proceeded to talk about our
favorite shared obsession: Tommy, or course:)LOL I love her so much, and will think of her every day.
Felicity: Traci?
LB: Traci, you'll hand over to CJ, please
