It had a quote from my favorite poem The Psalms Of Life, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. I have never read any book that quoted that poem so I thought I would look up the author and tell her how much I enjoyed it. I'm so very sorry for the loss of this woman who not only was talented,had a depth that is surprising, but also was obviously loved deeply by family and friends. I wish I had found this book years ago so that I could have known her as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323856936048184928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443515033089669860.post-76254448406902267492015-05-01T14:23:08.205-07:002015-05-01T14:23:08.205-07:00I have a Meg O'Brien mystery.

She was kind, considerate and always thinking of everyone else. And we had many laughs, too. <br /><br />I just started googling authors I used to work with tonight and I was just so saddened to see this. <br /><br />I truly hope her family has found peace.

So today I sent her a Christmas e-mail, stating that I hoped she was feeling much better. When it was returned, I went looking for her on the web. I was heartbroken to find this article! She was my favorite author, and we came to be friends for awhile before I took off for Saudi Arabia. I've been worried about her for awhile but didn't find her e-mail address till today.<br /><br />My sympathies to her family; what a lovely lady she was!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06558733775354739137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443515033089669860.post-71807094145706485722009-08-18T13:09:41.614-07:002009-08-18T13:09:41.614-07:00Yes, so very sad.Yes, so very sad.Janet Rudolphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07395834961880172395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443515033089669860.post-54038234495263970762009-08-18T13:01:21.309-07:002009-08-18T13:01:21.309-07:00Ive just read megs home page, I feel so sad she wa...Ive just read megs home page, I feel so sad she was a brilliant writer, I've just finished another 1 of her books, and thanks to her email back to me i've manged to get some more.

There's a lot more to her death than it seems. I had been calling my mother, Robin, almost every day while Nana was in the hospital. Apparently, from what Aunt Amy and her had said, their was quite a screw up at the hospital.<BR/><BR/>On Thanksgiving day my grandmother went into cardiac arrest, most likely from choking on her food. The nurses or whoever was supposed to be monitoring the alarms weren't around. She stayed in that position for over ten minutes. I believe they said it was actually around 15 minutes or so.<BR/><BR/>The surgery on her heart went excellent and the doctors even gave her another 20 years. If it wasn't for this screw up, which I'm personally furious about, she would have lived to write another day.<BR/><BR/>From being in cardiac arrest for such a long time it caused massive brain damage, which in turn, sealed her fate.<BR/><BR/>There's a lot I could say about Nana Meg, but for now I'll just say that I miss her a ton and I'll never forget what happened.<BR/><BR/>I hope all of her readers appreciated her as much as I did.<BR/><BR/>JD-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443515033089669860.post-30882764788249335802008-12-09T09:52:00.000-08:002008-12-09T09:52:00.000-08:00This is not the first time I have heard of the dea...This is not the first time I have heard of the dead calling on a cell phone. I have a friend whose brother's number showed on calls for months after he died. He also moved rocks in the garden, but that is another story.Janet Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05244319617761464786noreply@blogger.com
