"Grace" is right, Red. For those who never knew her, Maggie's blog is frank, funny, and inspiring. From her mother's decline through her diagnosis and her longtime companion Tom's despicable betrayal to her giving up her beloved pets to her resolutely facing her death while keeping her joy and gratitude, Maggie was quite a woman.

MaggieD you are missed here at DP! Especially in this upside down
political season! You had a special way to touch people.
 
I did not know here personally, but she was a great debater and I had no idea she was ill and she was gracious til the end. She is missed here.
 
DP will never be the same. I have another pen pal who's going through something very similar and I try to keep a candle lit... life is going by too damn fast...
 
MaggieD. Good people. She is missed.
 
She left us way too early. I hope Maggs is truly happy in her transition.
 
It’s crazy how you feel you get to know someone here. Posters come and go but Maggie’s humor and grace (as Red said) had such a positive impact on this place and her absence is felt. I’d like to think she’s with her mom and getting a chuckle out of some of the petty divisions we take so seriously.

Great person, magnificent poster.
 
Maggie was a kind and gentle soul. She touched the lives of so many who only knew her "virtually" but felt like we knew her like we knew our best childhood friends. I suspect she's up there dancing with the angels, where she fits in beautifully.
 
Maggie was one of the best - she is missed everyday.
 
This slipped my mind for whatever reason, but I'd like to say Happy Belated MaggieD Day.

For those of us who have been here for a while, we had a beloved member pass away from cancer in December 2017. She was one of the kindest people to ever grace DP. She is still missed to this day. RIP Maggie

Maggie got her angel wings.

Of all the people I have known only through this weird medium we know as 'message boards', and I have participated on many now, I felt the strongest sense of loss and real grief at Maggie's passing. She was one of those people that without even trying has a deep and profound positive effect on people. I miss her a lot.
 
Rest in peace, MaggieD.
 
I miss her. She was one of those you loved to read. The threads she would start sometimes seeking advice on everything from home repairs to gardening. And there were some good folks around here that would share their knowledge. She could disagree with you but not hold resentment toward you. I so admired how she in the last years of her mother's life took such good care of her at home until her death. I know what that is like and it isn't easy and not too many kids do that anymore. She was a sweetheart.
 
If leading by example is the most virtuous way to live, Maggie was the most virtuous person I've known in these fora.
 
MaggieD, I loved you dearly. Thank you for all the wonderful private conversations we shared, thank you for making me laugh, thank you for making me cry, thank you for being you, and sharing yourself so generously. I miss you, and will never forget you; knowing you enriched my life. *hugs*
 
She once PM'd me thanking me for some little thing I said she liked... I tear up a little every time I look at my PMs.

I have a few PMs from her like that and I wouldn’t dare delete them now.
 
Thanks, Red.

I do think about Mags from time to time. She was one of my favorites. She was indeed one of the finest people on DP.

She was. She was kind and generous to that ungrateful, parasitic companion of her mother when nobody would've faulted her for giving him the boot. I saved Maggie's blog entries into Word and shared them from time to time with my friends.

And that driveway episode with her girlfriends ready with bail money was right out of Waiting to Exhale. Tom turned out to be such a rat (and so stupid too--all he had to do was be decent for a few months, and he would've inherited it all). I hope he and his home-wrecking hussy are happy in their hovel. :twisted:

Those of us who are animal people admired how responsible Maggie was as she rehomed them. They were her babies, and she did right by them. She even took the time to tell all of us here at DP farewell. Sigh, "If you're reading this...."

Oh, how I admired Maggie!
 
Goodbye Maggie D
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled.

Elton had better words for her than I could ever pen

See her posts when looking up stuff from the past... really liked her... hard to believe it’s 3-years on.
