One more reason to not care about politics anymore...

I ask that each of you, in your own way, remember her as well. She didn't think that she would live to see tomorrow arrive and it is my most fervent hope that in this she was wrong and that she is still among us and able to participate in this year's elections.

I know that I have missed her contributions and her voice here over the course of the last several months and it seemed somehow appropriate to revive this thread in her honor.

May God Bless you and keep you always close to Him Ellen.

Printsmith, wonderful post. I am thinking of you AV.

I've also lost touch, which is rather sad. Has anyone heard from AV or anything else to indicate how she's doing?

I sent her a PM about a month ago with no answer.. (not that she was expected to)

Does anyone know how Aspen Valley is?

I have an unopened message to her in my outbox from Aug. 14th. I hope she's doing better.
