I met Shiloh in the 60's Love Room on Yahoo. She was one of the first people to welcome me. I was shy at first because it seem most of the people in the room were from the USA but in no time shiloh encouraged me to talk more over the years Shiloh became one of my favorite ladies in that room.Shiloh I became great friends and we shared many funny things together and a lot of great laughs.I will have truly missed her in the last few months. I am very lucky to have known her even if it was only on the internet. Shiloh I know your up there looking down at me saying northern_cutie behave yourself. Love you GalDonna Adams

Mary was a close friend for the last 12 years. She got this Canuck cooking Cajun food by sending cook books and also the history of the Cajuns.She was so proud of her heritage. We shared a common love of animals and left me a fond memory with a phone call a couple weeks ago and the excitement in her voice about her new dog she adopted.
