What a shocking loss for everyone. <br /><br />I only knew Uleen from chatting with her in Etsy. Uleen was kind enough to give me a hand setting up my Etsy store. She displayed amazing patience and generosity while working with me. <br /><br />I give her the highest praise and wish her well on her journey. I bet she's helping someone now where ever she is. <br /><br />Matt HamiltonMatt Hamiltonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1275520613948089094.post-13017644603510768242009-10-01T01:41:32.020-04:002009-10-01T01:41:32.020-04:00I knew her from Etsy.

Rest In Peace Uleen!! <br /><br />I want to share this wonderful poem... <br /><br />Light a candle for those we mourn. Into a new life they will be born. Do not look for them at the gravesite. They are somewhere else radiating their beautiful light. They have gone to a new world where there is no darkness, no pain. Their light and essence will always remain. Light a candle for those who have left this mortal place. They are free to travel through time and space. When we think of them, they are near. When we sit in a beautiful garden. Their voices we hear. When we listen to a divine symphony, We close our eyes, their faces we see. Light a candle for they have not really gone. With each flickering flame, in your hearts they will always belong.<br />© A.Pell 24/08/2005Big Moon's Boutiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17894688220097406352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1275520613948089094.post-2833246535309482052009-08-04T14:39:09.936-04:002009-08-04T14:39:09.936-04:00OMG! i just got a convo and had no idea this had h...OMG! i just got a convo and had no idea this had happened.

Shot Ula a convo and signed on to chat. I asked has anyone seen Chroma, no answer. Then two of my chat friends saw my avatar and came in to tell me. Ive cried all day. I miss her so much. My computer is full of her art work she did for me. My bikini bee makes me smile. The box that is addressed keeps looking at me. What if i mess up my hair again? Where is my friend? She was always there for my shortcommings. Our Chat team will never be the same with out that one extra face smiling back at us. The young face of reason. So mature for her age. She made babies out of us older not so wise ones. If it had been anyone else there im sure she would of been in the paper as the one who saved the life. So strong, so protective of her friends and family. Her family must be a great one to have such a gem come into our lives from it. Blessings to you, I miss you my friend. Your family is in my prayers.

Superwoman. One of my favorite memories is when she would go on random facts.com and read all them to us in the chats because we were so bored. She always had something intelligent to say. I miss you dearly and no you are still looking down on us. You were and are amazing my friend! And missed terribly. You have changed many lives including mine and will continue to do so.

I miss your patience with people, that I do not always have. I miss you always trying to organize something fun and/or positive for us chatters or for those in need. I wish more people were like you.<br /><br />I keep checking your twitter, hoping that you've written a recent update... but that last update is consistently stuck on July 17th. I keep waiting for you to write back to me. I keep hoping to find out that it was all a mistake, that you're still here with us.<br /><br />Chroma, I love you and I miss you.<br /><br />And for those of you who are interested, more dedications can be found here: http://notsoshabbychicshop.blogspot.com/2009/07/in-memory-of-uleen-toovey-aka.html<br />Please visit and comment if you wish.<br /><br />Love, Rebecca/NotSoShabbyChicNotSoShabbyChichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18191382973094585361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1275520613948089094.post-34596958552163086772009-07-22T07:30:11.682-04:002009-07-22T07:30:11.682-04:00Thank you so much for creating this tribute to Chr...Thank you so much for creating this tribute to Chroma...

This poem was one that stuck out amongst all others.. I thought it was fitting here:<br /><br />The Dash:<br /><br />I read of a man who stood to speak<br />At the funeral of a friend<br /> <br />He referred to the dates on her tombstone<br />From the beginning to the end<br /> <br />He noted that first came her date of her birth<br />And spoke the following date with tears,<br /> <br />But he said what mattered most of all<br />Was the dash between those years<br /> <br />For that dash represents all the time<br />That she spent alive on earth.<br /> <br />And now only those who loved her<br />Know what that little line is worth.<br /> <br />For it matters not how much we own;<br />The cars, the house, the cash,<br /> <br />What matters is how we live and love<br />And how we spend our dash.<br /> <br />So think about this long and hard.<br />Are there things you’d like to change?<br /> <br />For you never know how much time is left,<br />That can still be rearranged.<br /> <br />If we could just slow down enough<br />To consider what’s true and real<br /> <br />And always try to understand<br />The way other people feel.<br /> <br />And be less quick to anger,<br />And show appreciation more<br /> <br />And love the people in our lives<br />Like we’ve never loved before.<br /> <br />If we treat each other with respect,<br />And more often wear a smile<br /> <br />Remembering that this special dash<br />Might only last a little while.<br /> <br />So, when your eulogy is being read<br />With your life’s actions to rehash<br /> <br />Would you be proud of the things they say<br />About how you spent your dash?<br /> <br />© 1996 All Rights Reserved, Linda EllisNotQuitePhotoJENichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14930445940109567474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1275520613948089094.post-10565995293728376482009-07-21T12:39:00.924-04:002009-07-21T12:39:00.924-04:00i feel the same way.. i keep looking at old convos...i feel the same way.. i keep looking at old convos with her.. i have a few emails too that i keep rereading like that will somehow make it not real. this hurts so much to lose a friend so lovely as she was. she was one of the nicest people i knew. she made my banner and my cards for me in my shop. she was making magnets for me too.. we will alway remember her.

I would never imagine that this would affect me as much as it has. It goes to show how truly wonderful she was. I know she is gone, but even in the past few days I see someone enter the chat and out of the corner of my eye I swear it was her. Some how I think I am going to wake up from a bad dream and she will be in chat twice because she had a sticky avatar. I cannot bring myself to delete the last convo I had from her and it is a reminder that I must continue the work I commited to doing with her. I will be donating to my local animal shelter in her honor. <br /><br />ChromaSmear you are loved and missed! RIP!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08797958441003943788noreply@blogger.com
