As I journey though these seasons where I reflect upon the people in my life who have had an impact upon it, I have had the great pleasure of adding the friends I have met on the internet. My internet family has become a real part of my life, and I enjoy the great benefit of being able to keep in touch with them with a few strokes of the keyboard. One person I feel who has been a friend to so many of us, although we seldom hear from her on the boards, yet we all have benefited so greatly from her selfless work, is ACandyRose. Almost without fail, when I need to find some information about JonBenet, ACandyRose’s site is at the top of the list. She’s an extraordinary woman, and I just want to thank her for everything she has done. Here it goes: ACandyRose - thank you so much. I can’t fathom the hours you have dedicated to JonBenet, and the cost it has placed upon you, both financially and personally. You never cease to amaze me and I’m so proud to call you my friend. Sending you much love and good wishes BJ - you are one in ten million! Love, Little
AMEN LITTLE. BJ is such a special woman that mere words can’t describe her. I don’t think any of us realize just how much work goes into her website at www.acandyrose.com . The work is on-going. It never ends. In addition, BJ is one of the kindest people I know. Gracious and Good are the words that come to mind. BJ my friend, may 2005 bring you health and happiness. WE LOVE YOU.
Here, here! BJ, you are one very special lady and I will always cherish our friendship and all the work you do for JonBenet. Stay warm, stay healthy, stay happy and know that God has specially blessed you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Love and hugs, Deja
Merry Christmas ACR. The very first search I did for information on the JBR case resulted in my clicking on your site. Wow. I was busy for days. From there I found my way to JW and now FFJ. Thanks for opening up such an important part of my life.
ACR - your site is extraoridinary. There is no doubt in my mind there is an remarkable woman behind it. Indeed, best wishes for the merrist of Christmases this season to one, to all!
ACR is truly a special lady who never asks for accolades but deserves them more than anyone else I know. She is humble and lovable, and I do love her. I hope her Christmas is filled with love and warmth and good cheer. Merry Xmas, BJ.
BJ, :rose: You know what I think of you already, I have told you before in e-mails, you are one very special lady as Little and the others have stated above, and I thank you very much for the many hours you have taken, to enter all the data on your site relating to the JonBenét case. I am very proud to call you my friend. Wishing you and your family, a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. :rose: Love, Ella
I have used the site so many times when researching things, can you imagine how difficult this would be without the ACAndyRose site. I hope she doesn't mind me posting this, but it's pretty common knowledge that ACR has some major health issues and is not able to be on the net as much as she would like. I can't thank her enough for what she has done! :rose:
Thank you Thank you all SO MUCH for your caring and thoughtful words. Reflecting back over eight years I have been blessed with getting to know some wonderful people through the Internet and the forums. I look upon each of you as a kindred soul, your very existence has touched my heart, my memories, my spirit, my very being. And even for those whom have left the forums and those whom have long past from this world, those memories will forever be part of my life. I look forward each day to read your postings, e-mail and with some, online chat or a telephone call. And even though we were all drawn together because of the death of a small child, it is through this bond that JonBenet's memory will remain alive. We may have been a stranger to her but she is not a stranger to us. Hear me now so that my words are not misconstrude on what I would have felt or would have said. If I have helped any of you, know that you have helped me. I love you all and I am so very happy that even though I have so little to give that what I have given has help others. Wishing ALL of you a wonderful holiday season with your family and loved ones. I am closing with a poem that was written by somebody who is very dear to my heart. Love Is............... Giving When there is no more to give. Hoping When there is no hope. Understanding When it’s needed. Understanding When it’s not. Caring When no one is around. Hugging Without a sound. And sailing When there is no wind. ACandyRose www.acandyrose.com
