Fea, no one is saying you can't post here. But, there is a time and place for certain post. You kindof made it sound as you didn't care. and, that we all should be heartless. and have no feelings over this saturation. Maybe, you didn't mean it this way. But, that is at least how it came across to me. We do enjoy your company. But, other have their own set opinion they will voice too. Please don't take it to heart as such as others are out to be mean to you. peace love Dotty |

Fea - I feel you were misunderstood, here. I'm sure your intent was only to divert and lessen some of the pain people are feeling. I'm certain no-one wants you to leave the forum - you have been an asset in Beatledom for much too long to allow this to happen. |

Thank you so much for letting Lissa's family know that we are here and that we care deeply for her. Fea, I'm sorry. I like you a lot, but I think people here are mourning one of our own. No, I never met Lissa, nor have I met you. I have met a lot of boardies. I will mourn the death of any one of them as I do my own family and friends in the non internet world. I realize people are dying of hunger and wars. I don't mourn the deaths of the famous in general. With few exceptions, they are nothing to me. Lissa was a friend. I mourn those who are dying of hunger in this world, dying of AIDS in this world and dying in wars in this world. I cry for them. However, the tears I shed for Lissa are tears for a friend. Fea, you have never met our common friend. Would you mourn and cry for him? |

I received the email from Chad, too, and didn't know if it was to be posted. Chad has read the thread and is very touched and saddened by Lissa's passing. I am finding it difficult to get anybody in my real life to understand my pain. One co-worker participates in Grateful Dead forums and she totally understood. Everybody else looks at me like I have lost my mind. Diane, no parent should ever have to lose a child is absolutely correct. Mr. Mozart, we share your mourning, as well as that of your other daughter and Lissa's daughter.

In fairness to Fea, of all the posts here in her memory Lissa's would have been most similar to that one.
I for one have overdone my signature to frustrate her as she looks down on us and rolls her eyes. Payback is a b!tch cowgirl. (oh that's right, you hate emoticons don't you?!)

Can we please turn this back into our memorial for Lissa? Fea, yes we do know the sadness all to well of what life throws at us. Some of us want to, no need to express ourselves over Lissa's untimely passing. Fortunately for us that do, we have a place we can all come to. I look at this as being our wake for her. We are telling our stories, our emotions to people we have come to know and we are doing this in a way to let out our emotions and grief where we know we will be there to reach out and comfort each other. We can have a party with music and stories but this party is allowing us to show to each other that we are grieving. I'm sorry you don't feel this way but please allow us to mourn. Rev Dave, thank you so much for your lovely obituary. Makes me feel even sadder for her daughter but happy to have had Lissa allow us to get small glimpses into her life. Happy that we got to know her for as long as we had her here. RIP my lovely! |

Maybe we could post our thought on what she did to bring a smile to our faces. Lets face it, Lissa cracked us up all the time with her wicked, hilarious in- your-face, comments. Upon reading one of her first post, I don't remember what it was about as their were so many comments she made, I was enjoying a cup of ice tea and I spit it all over my computer and screen from laughing. It's a good thing I drink my tea without sugar because I could have messed my computer up. |

Well, here's another clue for you all, the Walrus was Paul...
|
I know that I always read anything that said 'post by mozart8mytoe'...and I knew that I would either laugh or be inspired to think about what she had to say. I don't want to canonize her...because she was, alas, just as human as you or me, and would be the first to admit it...but considering the life she led, she was someone to be admired for her bravery, her compassion and her never ending sarcastic sense of humor. |

Besides the compassion she showed me in private, I will never forget that never ending sarcastic sense of humor. I had no way of knowing of her bravery until she was gone. I don't think we are canonizing Lissa. I think we are showing our love for her. I am sure Lissa had human faults, as we all do. |

Be in Peace and be kind to them up there, they know not what they are up against. |

I am struck by the fact that most of us knew so little about her but we all felt so(feel) very strongly for her. I am still reeling from this news. Her life story as posted by Rev Dave is one of triumph over tragedy. I am stunned to learn she was so young. SHe had wisdom beyond her years and an old soul to carry her through. I can't be specific about any one certain post but I know she voted for me during those awards last year and I felt very honored. Her intelligent humor was a great asset to this board and it will be missed. I'm just so very sad. |

So Feact...if one of your best friends passed away...and I was attending the funeral...Would you feel good my coming up to you and saying..."Hey FEA, people die every day, Life goes on". HOW WOULD THAT MAKE YOU FEEL? I find your post INSENSITIVE and UNNECCESARY.... Actually I"m pretty disgusted!!! |

I think the moral of the story is to appreciate the people in your life while they're here. Many people have said how they wish they would've told her how much they enjoyed her comments. If you look forward to seeing someone here or what they say makes you laugh so much you spit your drink on your keyboard, why not tell them? When we disagree with someone it's easy to make that disagreement public so why do we so often leave our praise for private messages? I know Lissa wasn't looking for praise or compliments, but everyone enjoys hearing something nice about themselves from time to time. Public Internet forums seem to be so full of negative comments and hostility. Let's make compassion and love the cool thing to show people online. I'm going out of town for a few days so I probably won't be able to come here, but hopefully when I come back I'll have more to share with you all. God loves you all and so do I, and you know what? Of all the places she could've gone to Lissa made this her Internet home, so I think it's safe to say she did too. |

I did PM Lissa and told her what happened. That's when I told her if I was her Mother, I wouldn't know weather to spank her or sit in the corner crack up with her. I try to make it a point to let the people I love or enjoy being around, know how I feel about them. My family has always been the mushy type. Even the guys in the family tell the other guys I love you on the phone before they hang up....."love you bro", too cute. One never knows when their last day will be. ((Reverand Dave))) Have a safe trip. And thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you have done for us. Lissa is smiling upon you. (((peace and love)) judy |

you know Feact, of all the folks that come to this board, Lissa would have been the first to understand what you are saying here and would have probably agreed and with intelligence and canny wit made your statement make better sense to us. That enormous loss is what we all are already missing. i also understand how some customs celebrate the life rather than mourn the death, and i think she would have wanted us to do whatever it took to enable us to continue with faith in life while absorbing the loss we feel knowing hers was taken so quickly and so harshly. If her sister, friends or others that loved and were lucky enough to know her better than us happen along these writing by all of us, they will also understand what an impact she made to us. My tears are still falling for you Lissa........... or perhaps they are falling for me....... one of my favorite lissa quotes ust because I do not drink beer or watch Nascar does not mean I am un-American.

Another great line of Lissa's (I'm working from memory, so forgive me if I get it wrong): 10 Americas dying is a catastrophe 100 Europeans dying is a tragedy 1000 Asians dying is a shame and 10,000 Africans dying is a Monday (I might be out by a factor of 10 there) |

I always looked up to Lissa. Of course, I thought she was older then me. She was wise beyond her years. I thought she was funny. I not saying we always agreed for there were times we did not. However, that did not mean that I did not care or liked her. I did look forward to her post. I would laugh for I did not want anyone to know I thought she was funny with her comments. In addition, beside, I really thought she gave Bill completion when came to being smart. You know there was time's I felt like crying, read what she posts, and got to laughing. Now, I will not be looking forward to those posts. However, I know I will be looking forward to seeing her again. You see I do not know if I see her in heaven or on earth. However, I do know she was inspiration to us all… |

I got my moderator fingers working and found Lissa's award nominations for the board, which I feel encapsulates some of her feelings about being here. I post this in her memory, and hope that all will take this as written, merely a time capsule of her thoughts about us -- and please remember, she voted for us all as "most entertaining" which I take as an honor. ____________________________________________________ mozart8mytoe Dec. 12, 2006 6:22 AM Clique this. Section One - General Kindest boardie: QueenJudy, irenescreamer, JacaLisa, BlueJayne? Way. Most helpful boardie: Audrey, Reverend Dave. Most respectful board member: theonlyfabBetsy, Rose, Flickering Lauren, scottyBev, TassyLikeAnIcon. Funniest boardie: Lovely Grace Meter Maid, JanaW, fab4John, Bill, MikeMc. Most intelligent board member: Reverend Dave. We all think we are hot sh*t, but he has a PhD from Stanford. That means something where I come from. Most politically astute boardie: Astute? No one here. This is liberofacist versus conservatofacist territory. Most entertaining board member: Every last one of you. I would never come here if I were not amused. Most honest boardie: modBridget1964. Most 'cosmically conscious' boardmember: FionaByrd. Although I still need to kick her ass. Most mysterious boardie: GaryCord, I suppose. I do not know jack sh*t about him. Best thread starter: AndyLynnesBeard, GroupieClare. I do not like voting for moderators, but you gots to give props, yo. Best thread: Liberal for Life. Board member with the best avatar(s): They all change so quickly. I liked Chad's Grover humping and Linda's ambigram, but both are now gone. I like that scotty catt in the hatt and Merry uses my favorite Lennon photo. At the other end of the spectrum, McGoo's makes me nauseous. All rightfully noteworthy (and duly noted), but my vote goes to tonyhemp and manon for their stalwart dedication to that which is sadly beyond our mortal grasp. Boardie with the best signature(s): jessiemillano. Most Creative Username: Bill. Most attractive/sexiest boardmember: Break me off a piece of that Kit Kat (pregnant chicks are just hot), tinyAnnaca, LadyLiz, Sandra, KinkOlia. Person you wish would post more: Bag O’Heidi, waitingforaTim, Zimmy. Where has he been? Best "newcomer" (Registered after July 1st 2006): SF Awards 2006, Kristinonthehill. Most improved boardie: BlueMolly2006. Section Two - Music/The Arts Best Beatles Newsgetter: feact. Best Beatles knowledge: BeatleBarb, bec walker or GroupieClare. Maybe they should have a face off, ten questions in eight seconds. Greatest overall musical knowledge: This is an odd category. Some people here can tell you which single was number one in the UK and number three in the US on November 18, 1978 and some of us consider that fan trivia, not musical knowledge. Some of us know the difference between polymetre and diotonic anacrusis and some people simply do not care. Some people have studied bands most of their lives, while some of us have studied music most of our lives. So my vote goes to the person who created the jazz video thread that quickly died, beep, beep, beep, beep, yeah. Plus, he likes Django and Trane. Best music reviewer: invisible jones. SamwiseTom missed out because he thought "More Fool Me" was Phil Collins' first lead vocal. I mean, come on. Freakin' kids today. Most talented poet: doris mendlovitz, Flickering Lauren. Oh, pointy wings. Oh, pointy, pointy. Most talented storyteller: I have yet to read anyone's stories. Have your people contact my people and we might be able to set something up. Keep in mind that my office does not accept unsolicited manuscripts and we cannot and will not read anything that is not sent by a registered agent. Most talented artist/animator: Blackbird1942, Emilee, Magical Mystery Lisa. Most talented musician on the board: SamwiseTom. We classically trained musicians have to stick together or those rock and rollers might take over some day. Biggest Beatles Fanatic: Lindascruff. Neither rain nor sleet nor emptiness of wallet will keep her from a McCartney concert halfway 'round the world. I cannot even be bothered if there is too much crosstown traffic. Section Three - The Best Of The Year Song Of The Year: Bach's English Suite No 2 in Am (BWV807) - Live at Alice Tully Hall, performed by a member of this very board. Musical Artist/Group Of The Year: Spastic Kneejerks. Album Of The Year: Anything but that godawful Ecce Cor Meum. Please, dear Buddha, make the voices stop. Movie Of The Year: It is a toss up between The Inedible Hulk, The Da Virgin Code and Bareback Mountain. Book Of The Year: Without Volume Diffusion In Oxides; Landolt-Bornstein: Numerical Data & Functional Relationships In Science And Technology - New Series Group 3: Condensed Matter by C Allen, D Beke, F Beniere and C Bruff. Man, I hope it wins. Man Of The Year: I did not vote for this, but if I did, I would vote for OJ Simpson. Woman Of The Year: Heather Mills McCartney. Us amputees are killa sexy. Weirdo Of The Year: Egbo, the Chinese mudrat boy. Section Four - Special Awards The 'Mom' of the board: MaccasDiane. Yes, it is a sympathy vote, but who here deserves more sympathy right now. The 'Pop' of the board: Major Olen Goble, USMC, Ret. Father, Marine and damn sexy topless. Best overall contribution to all sections of the board: Lindascruff. You got a problem with that? The 'broken pencil' award for pointlessness: Pointless Game Threads B – billyshears. The 'Oscar' for grouchiness: Kermit. Ever since he went vegetarian and had to give up eating pork he has been a total assh*le, and maccagirl1428. Best Use of Alternative English: Peter. The 'Don't you have a job?' award for mega-posting: Dorothy. Yes, Merry and Linda have more posts, but they have been here since day one. Dorothy racked up over 3,000 posts in three months. Outstanding Achievement in the Use of Casual Profanity: Me, of f*cking course. Beatnut is a close second. The George Harrison award for Quality over Quantity: SherryO, Love Sculpture, Sher, KopiteSvenn. The 2006 Strawberry Fields Boardie of the Year (one name only, please): Merry, without whom I would have never come here. Take that as you will. -------------------- Nurse, I spy gypsies. Run. |

Neither rain nor sleet nor emptiness of wallet will keep her from a McCartney concert halfway 'round the world. I cannot even be bothered if there is too much crosstown traffic. I also looked up my votes for Lissa--they are on my computer: Funniest boardie: Mozart8mytoe Most entertaining board member: Mozart8mytoe Most mysterious boardie: Mozart8mytoe Most talented musician on the board: Mozart8mytoe My votes for these categories would be exactly the same this year.

Didn't Lissa have a very similar avatar to yours, once too? I haven't been on as regularly this summer, so when I found this thread I had a real reaction to it being hers. And I gulped---big time. Am I remembering wrong?

Awww, Lissa voted me as one of the most respectful and even more importantly to me is she appreciated my poetry. That means the world to me, someone as insightful and intelligent as her rating my poetry. I love you, my friend.

No, I noticed too. My heart skipped a beat as I thought it was Lissa posting although I know it's sadly impossible. Linda has taken her avatar to use as a tribute and I saw that someone else is using it in their signature. I know when we vote for "most missed", Lissa will be the winner of that category.

Linda's current avatar was Lissa's avatar on PM.com - it's still there. And John (fab4fan) has it in his signature here.

Thanks you for posting that Lauren. Lissa wasn't nearly as mysterious as some make out. She just made you work to get to know her - which made it all the more rewarding. |

Here's another post of Lissa's that lets us know some more about her. It's from the beginning of the SF Awards thread, posted Dec 6 2006: -------------------- "I have not voted and have yet to decide if I ever will, but I do have some comments to make. Because that is what I do. This is all highly subjective, as it should be. Some categories are pretty simple. For Best Signature and Best Avatar it takes very little effort to look around and pick something that amuses you. But Kindest and Most Honest, how the hell would I know? Not a single one of you ever offered to donate a lung to me. I am tempted to vote for Peter as Most Honest simply because I never know what the hell he is talking about. The most honest people are often the most misunderstood (as are the most deceitful). My subjectivity in this matter should offend no one (except maybe Peter). I would not hesitate to declare myself the most talented musician around here. But I may be blinded by my massive ego and the minor fact that I have never heard anyone else here perform. Bill could be the greatest kazoo player in the history of the world for all I know, but I would not vote for him because I have never heard his mad kazoo skills. So if Bill and his kazoo do not "win", so what. So, Chad, whether you think you are the most intelligent person here or not is irrelevant. These are not the 2006 Whatever Beep Thinks Awards. If people vote for you, too bad. If elected, you must serve. Those are the rules. If I were voted Kindest (not that there is much threat of that happening in this lifetime) I would deal with it. And unlike Tassy, I actually have killed. If there are categories for signature and avatar, why not username? Just wondering. There are some pretty good names around here. Also, what are the prizes? How about this: http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f1/mozar...atulations4.jpg
To me, this is the point of this entire exercise. And a good reason to make nominations public. The winners will, of course, go home with the trophy and their picture in the newsletter, but if simply being mentioned is enough to brighten someone's day, it is worth the effort." -------------------- Nurse, I spy gypsies. Run -------------------- By the way, if you are wondering -- here is what Tassy wrote in a previous post on the same thread: "What's funny is me as kindest. They must not know about all those bodies I have hidden in the deep freezer in the garage." |

If we were paying attention, we knew a lot about Lissa. 15. What do you think would be the hardest thing for you to give up? Why would it be hard to lose? My family. I have basically already traded one family for another. Losing the first was hard enough. Losing this family would be unbearable. Without them I would be wandering the streets aimlessly and muttering to myself about aliens trying to steal my thoughts. 16. Excluding romantic love, when was the last time you told someone you loved them? Who were they to you? I tell my father that every day. |

This thread still leaves me in tears.
Lissa always kept me in line here. She told me as she saw it. She wouldn't cut her opinions down so it wouldn't offend people. If you got offended by what she had to say, well that was too bad. That's one quality I liked about her, even though I would get upset with some things. I loved her honesty and she did teach me to not let people get to me. |

The more I read this the more questions keep popping into my head. Maybe i'm stupid but my questions are to Reverened Dave. I have read that you met Lissa only once. She travelled to some remote place in China. How is it that you happened to be in this very same remote place and knew that she was seriously injured, and knew what hospital she had been taken to? Did you make plans to travel with her to China or did you just happen to be there at the exact moment all this unfolded. I'm just saying that it strikes me as odd that you would know almost every detail of this person's life and only met her once. You have chronicled her life from the age of 3 all the way to her present age with every exact detail. I'm just wondering how is it that you were able to remember every single iota after only meeting her one time. For the life of me I couldn't remember everything that happened for the last 23 years with a close relative of mine. Now i'm merely asking a question, because after I keep readig this I am just totally blown away by all this, and it just made me think of things I wanted to ask you. I am wondering if i'm the only person here that is wondering any of these questions. Please forgive me if I sound a little off base, i'm just curious I guess. |

How very strange that since lying in bed last night I'd planned on bringing that quote from her up and asking how many other things she revealed to us which we didn't think twice about. I guess her sense of humor combined with the severity of some of her recollections... it's not surprising that we didn't know when to take her seriously. |

Dave is away for a few days. He met lissa though here and pm.com. They, if i remember rightly emailed each other then lissa took an professional engagement in Hong Kong and either so she could visit dave or as a bonus. She stayed for a few days if not more then journeyed onto a school run by one of his friends, where she met the little lass she fell in love with. AS lissa was in contact with another member of this board about the adoption, it does not take much imagination to realise that since their meeting that Dave and Lissa became very close friends. He has also mentioned that lissa was not the sole source of the information he has imparted here, that it has been told to him by her family. |

I believe Reverend Dave is American, but I could be wrong. His location is in his profile here. He had met Lissa in China. Both wrote about that first meeting, but Rev. Dave let Lissa tell the story of falling in love with her daughter. Dave just wrote that Lissa had a life changing event happen to her while in China. |

((Mike)) I'm sure Reverend Dave had many emails and phone conversations with Lissa before her trip of meeting him for the first time. And he may have had contact with the family since the passing of Lissa. Lissa had high respect for Reverend Dave as she spoke of him in one of her questionnaires. |

I understand better now. I had all these questions about holy crap, how did this guy find out about the accident and know where to go, and how did he wind up in China? It makes a lot more sense to me now. I didn't know Rev. Dave actually lived in China. Turns out it was a great thing he did. |

This has been a most unsettling & trying time for all of us. How do you really grasp fully what's happened, let alone deal with it, when all your info comes from cyber-space? I don't know the answer to that one. I visited her angelfire website, [the one listed @ her Strawberry info won't come up--Andy?], with all the pictures. I found this one, which haunts me. Is it a picture she posted of her future little girl? Maybe Rev. Dave knows that answer. Anyways here it is:

Since we've been remembering some of Lissa's posts and surveys, one that sticks in my mind - although I can't remember where is it - is this one.... The question was something to the effect of, "Would you give up your life to save the life of a friend?" and Lissa's answer was something to the effect of, "They wouldn't have to be a friend." |

Actually, Lissa's answer was: 21. You are holding onto your grandmothers hand and the hand of a newborn that you do not know as they hang over the edge of a cliff. You have to let one go to save the other. Who do you let fall to their death? Bye bye Granny. Letting one hold the other is cheating and not the point of the question. |
