UJ: no subject

One of my friends sent me this internet survey...it's one of those "how well do you know me" quizzes. Well, it has been a lot of fun. I have sent it on to a bunch of my friends and it has been great to get them back. It's always interesting to see what your friends know about you...or how they truly feel about you. I had a lot of fun with it....and if you got one from me, be a doll and fill it out!

On a more somber note, a good friend of mine passed away this weekend. She was someone I met about 3 years ago when I went to the New Year's Eve Mellencamp show. Gerri was from Texas, but would come up to Indiana as often as she could, since she just loved the state. She was the first Mellencamp fan that I met from the email list. She got sick a few years back with lung cancer, but she went into remission. And then a little while back, the cancer came back. This time it wasn't so easy to treat.

She is one true gem of a woman...and she will most definitely be missed. I don't think I will ever be at a Mellencamp event again without thinking of her...and that is a good thing. I hadn't been in the best contact with her in the last few months of her life....I wasn't going to the chat room as often...and we didn't find each other on IM, but I hope she knows how much I adore her. She was nothing, but kind and generous to me and I will be constantly grateful for that.

Gerri- you are missed....much love to you, your family, and all that knew you!
