Some us here at Off Topix may remember a member by the username of Odie. This is the same username she also used at FG. I went to view FG this morning as a guest and found out that she had terminal cancer and passed away peacefully this morning in hospital at the age of 60. Her real name was Joan and I wanted to share this very sad news with those of you who knew her. May you rest in peace now Joan.

Very Sad News About A Former Member

Oh no
Bai Joan
According to Joans son, she originally went into the hospital for another reason (treatment for cataracts, I think). They admitted her last Friday because she had grown so weak so fast. When they ran tests they suspected cancer but it wasn't until yesterday that the doctors verified it.
Her family said she had a good idea of what her illness was but she refused to go for any tests. They also said that even if she had have done, it would have made no difference. By the time they got her to hospital, the cancer was everywhere.
Poor Odie. Rest in peace hunni. xxx

I can't beleive it... I actually called her two years ago when I was in Toronto and spoke with her...
I spoke with her often in Odie's room....
I can't believe it..
I don't know if this is allowed or not from a Royalty thing, but I have made a few changes to Elton John's empty garden to deidicate it to Joan, if I can't do this go ahead and remove it. I know she loved her gardening:
What happened here
As the Toronto sunset disappeared
I found an empty garden among the flagstones there
Who lived here
She must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
And now it all looks strange
It's funny how one illness can damage so much grain
And what's it for
This little empty garden by the brownstone door
And in the cracks along the sidewalk nothing grows no more
Who lived here
She must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
And we are so amazed we're crippled and we're dazed
A gardener like that one no one can replace
And I've been knocking but no one answers
And I've been knocking most all the day
Oh and I've been calling oh hey hey Joan
Can't you come out to play
And through their tears
Some say she farmed her best in younger years
But she'd have said that roots grow stronger if only she could hear
Who lived there
She must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
Now we pray for rain, and with every drop that falls
We hear, we hear your name
Joan can't you come out to play in your empty garden

OMG, this is very very sad news!
I never really got to know her, but may she be at peace now. Rest In Peace, Odie/Joan.
