It is my sad duty to inform friends here on the Mudcat that My dear sister Fin, a sometimes poster to this forum (under that name), moved on from this incarnation at about 8 am Hawaiian time, in or near Pearl City Hawaii on 30 April 2002 after a considerably drawn out illness,.

She is always in my heart,

The moving finger writes, and having writ
moves on and all your piety nor wit
cant call it back to cancel half a line
nor all your tears wash out a word of it

Micca, please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your sister. And to Morticia on the loss of her aunt. I enjoyed Fin's sometime presence here in the Mudcat, so I think I will miss her too.

Dear Micca, I am so sad to hear of Fin's passing. You have my deepest condolences.

Reach out and wish her well in her next adventure from all her friends here, I am sure. Give yourself the space you need to feel, breathe, and be with it for as long as need be. Bless her, bless yourself, and keep walking....

Very best regards,

A

Having lost my brother two years ago, my deepest sympathy to you. I know what it's like. I think the relationship between brother and sister is a special one.

A sister(brother) is a precious gift
Dear from the start
From childhood to this moment on
Deep in my heart
Always and forever, apart or together,
Strong are the ties that will bind us
Until death do us part.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, too.

This is one of the songs we sang at my Mum's funeral.

WHISPERING HOPE

Soft as the voice of an angel,
Breathing a lesson unheard,
Hope with a gentle persuasion
Whispers her comforting word:
Wait till the darkness is over,
Wait till the tempest is done,
Hope for the sunshine tomorrow,
After the shower is gone.

Whispering hope, oh how welcome thy voice,
Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice.

If, in the dusk of the twilight,
Dim be the region afar,
Will not the deepening darkness
Brighten the glimmering star?
Then when the night is upon us,
Why should the heart sink away?
When the dark midnight is over,
Watch for the breaking of day.

Whispering hope, oh how welcome thy voice,
Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice.

Hope, as an anchor so steadfast,
Rends the dark veil for the soul,
Whither the Master has entered,
Robbing the grave of its goal.
Come then, O come, glad fruition,
Come to my sad weary heart;
Come, O Thou blest hope of glory,
Never, O never depart.

Whispering hope, oh how welcome thy voice,
Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice.

Oh, my dear Miccaluv, we knew this time would come, but that doesn't lesson the sadness...I know how special Fin was to you and Terri and through her emails...she was always passing on some *giggle* as Night Owl calls them. I shall think of her healing with laughter and helping all the souls she meets along the way of her next great adventure. I am sorry she has had to travel on.

All of our deepest love and sympathy to you and Terri, and Ms. Lovee sends her Micca a special love, too,

Micca, you and your family are in my thoughts. I lost my mother at Christmas so I know the void it leaves. I've always been comforted by the last verse of the Rubiyat:

And when at last, o Saki, thou shalt pass
Among the guests star-scatter'd on the grass
And in thy joyous errand reach the place
Where I made one - turn down an empty glass!

Just lay me down in country ground to find eternal peace
But just one thing before I go, with you I'd like to share
That peace for me can only be when song is on the air

my sincere thanks to all who have posted, here is a little story from many years ago, andin fairness she laughed loud and long when the implications of what she had said sank in
Fin worked in an Office here in London for several years before moving to the US, and one day came hom from work very agitated, when we asked what the upset was, she said "We had this guy in the office all afternoon fixing the photocopier and all the time he was there he was whistling obscene songs"!!!!! and No she wasnt blonde

So sorry, Micca. I was happy to pass along good news about her last month, but sorry it was so short-lived. Seems like she brightened many lives, though, and that's a good legacy. I don't expect you'll be coming here, but if you do, you have a place to stay on the Big Island. Ka maluhia o ka lani (The peace of heaven) on Fin and on your family.

Aloha,

I'd like to add my thanks to Micca's.She was a wonderful lady, funny, fiesty,great in heart and courage.When I was little and did something rebellious my mother would often say "You're just like your aunt Fin".Well, I hope so, I really can't think of anything better to aspire to.
