As you know, a fellow KindSpringer named Terre passed away unexpectedly.  She had thousands of interactions with others in the KindSpring community, and through her posts, all of us had a unique window into the generosity of her life.  After she passed, many wrote tributes to her on the site ...

brindlegirl shared a photo of a double rainbow outside her home: "My heart has broken a little today. I am so sad. I just heard of Terres passing. It has touched me deeply and ripped me right open. Terre was a beautiful soul and still is. I will be praying for her today. Sending her as much love as I can. Let's all hold each other extra close and tight today. None of us know how long we have. We are all just passing through."  bountiful posted a prayer, as did Mish and Wavingatyou and others.

kjoyw remembered: "One of her favorite songs was Cyndi Lauper's 'True Colors' which she posted about on August 4th, 2015. As it is one of my favorites, too, we talked a lot about the beauty in that song. Terre, we thank you for sharing your "true colors" with us." 

cyctw reflected: "I wanted to reconnect with Terre through reading of her very old posts. I found one in a challenge that she did back in 2013...must've been one of the first challenges. In it, Terre writes, "My granddaughter Emily inspires me to be my best self." I wonder if Emily knows of this?"  

Susanna sweetly wrote, "My request is pass on to the boss up there, just how wonderful and kind we are on KS. Put in the word. I didn't know you long, nine months, but our friendship grew and it was good. I know you are enjoying where you are and pain free. Who would have thought. The positives. When you return back in another form, make it a good one. Healthy, good heart and most of all great knees. I will run into you one day. My words will be.'I know you from somewhere.  Have we met before?'" 

gyrocloudy reflected: "I am your mirror, with a little twist that makes us different. I keep you close to my heart, even if we crossed a pair of well powerful set of computer words. I feel you here, even if you're gone. This is our mirror, where we can share together, and I can tell more people about you, about your dreams and hopes, about your projects, about how I changed because of you. Then I will carry your kindness in a basket full of flowers and I will release them on the surface of that mirror lake. Thank you for your teachings. For your words. For your kindness. For your love."

Mish and I gathered these tributes together with a collage and passed it along to Terre's family...notice KindSpring anonymous names on petals of the flowers:



Beaming love to Terre, and all those who allowed us to meet in the field of kindness and compassion.
