To All my friends,

dear pooh

i just wanted to add my comment to the long list of others.  when diagnosed i came across this forum, looking for some reassurance and support which i found.  I think you were one of the first to reply to my post and your commonsense advice helped greatly at the time.

hope to see you on here from time to time

 Dear Pooh,  This site was set up and became a great place to come to , because of people like you and dear Chloe in the past, who have had to give in to their health issues which of course is the only sensible thing to do, so  I give you my heart felt thanks  for all your wisdom and comfort  that you so whole heartily have put in to the site..  It's great to know  tho' that you will still be looking in  and be among us .   God bless Pooh, Take care and spoil yourself some!!   Love Dolly.x

Dear Pooh,

I've been out-of-town and just got back - trying to catch up with all the latest here at SjS World.  I'm so sorry to hear you have resigned from staff.    Although, I do understand and wish you all the best.

I enjoyed our one-on-one chat sessions.   Also enjoyed your humor and kind words on the forum. 

Every time I cook something in my crock pot - I will think of you!    LOL

Take care Pooh . . . stop in and visit us in chat and on the forum . . . we miss you.

Hugs,
Bucky

Wonderful, dear Pooh,

What can I say that hasn't been said a dozen times already?  That we will miss you?  That you're power house of strength that many have had the pleasure of your great pearls of wisdom?  And that like the character you're named after, have offered a ton of soft, warm hugs after some of life's challenges because of SJS?  You are a bedrock of compassion, a paragon of information, and a great friend to many!   Please do visit when you can, and always remember, the laughs, the tears, and the hugs my friend - a smile made a bit easier by you.

I've been so fortunate to get to know you, and to learn from you...thank you so much!

Take care my friend -

Patze

Dear Pooh,

Adding to what others had said:

I noticed that your posts numbered a total of more than 5,500 over a three year period.  Taking into account that at any given time, there are at least five or six members online, and I assume double non-members reading the boards (roughly ten or fifteen people). 

Just pause, start to consider, and calculate how many people you have helped for all of the reasons that others have mentioned.  With compassion, wisdom and selflessness.

It is incalculable.  It is outstanding.

I wish you peace, my friend.
