Patricia Wedel

Having missed dear Pat for some time, I looked online and within minutes found the following.. For those who knew her writing about life, Nature and dear Roger will surely whisper a prayer for her

'Mrs.Wedel had a heart of gold, she was always with her husband Roger for his visits at

 the Fredericksburg VA CBOC. Always advocating for him during his medical journey. She

 will be missed, she never knew a stranger and would quickly talk to anyone in the

 lobby. People like her are special and have a way of making others feel special. May her

 family be blessed with her memory.

I'm so very sorry to hear this news. She was a part of this family and will be sorely missed.

[emmajoygreen]

How very true, Sam.

*I found her obituary notice by typing in her name.
You might be able to leave words there if you want to try. *

[Samuel Dickens]

Thanks. I plan to do that.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

She almost always responded to a poem with a poem...a gentle heart, gentle soul and one of my favorite people on this site for as long as I have been here since 2008.
As Peter, Paul and Mary sang..."Where have all the flowers again?"
And yet another flower is gone.

Many thanks, jacob. Your words say what we could all say. Her awareness of nature and everything and everyone she loved will never be forgotten. Dear lady.

[emmajoygreen]

Perhaps add to her memorial book?

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I put it in the memorial book from all of us.
I had already written something in there, as did Kelly, Lydia Shutter and Chris Shaw...if you go to the site(her obituary) you can sign the guest book.
Did you try that?

As far as I know, beating in mind I searched for her when I'd realised she hadn't been online, I was the first to discover that Pat had passed on. If someone goes missing, surely it doesn't hurt to check if that person is okay.

[Chris Shaw]

Really sad to hear this news. Pat will be remembered for her unique nature poetry, in particular her love of our avian friends and flora. She will be sadly missed. RIP dear Pat. 🌹

[emmajoygreen]

Chris, you're completely, utterly right. But, not only was Pat a loving family woman and delightful environmentalist, she was a true friend. . Sigh. :(

[Chris Shaw]

She is the second poetry friend to pass recently. Another from an earlier site I had known for 15 years, gone too. Still grieving his loss. Beautiful poets passed on, but their legacy remains in the words they leave for us. Such sadness :)

[emmajoygreen]

Maybe we both think of the cafe as both haven and emotional outlet.. if not always but sometimes. That of course means the friends we've made through the years, Sad and sadder that whilst life continues with smiles, etc' in here, we also feel moments of a strange kind of sadness.. a distant star extinguished maybe. Many thanks for commenting in the gentle and empathic way you always have, Chris.

[emmajoygreen]

You could find her obituary notice by merely typing in her name, Chris * as above.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Em. Jacob has already forwarded the link to me.

Oh, I did not know... Her voice will be missed...

[emmajoygreen]

Yes, very true, sir Vol. She loved life in all its forms and was happy to say so. Bless her

[Vol]

And God bless your beautiful heart...

[emmajoygreen]

People matter.

[emmajoygreen]

You might want to read way above and try what I've suggested, Vol *

[Vol]

I did... Thank you.

[Lorry]

She will be sadly missed. Pat was always positive and easily spread positivity and joy with her words and kindness. Always a breath of fresh air who will be missed by so many.

[emmajoygreen]

Evenin', Lorry, and thank you so much for adding to Pat's friends who are shocked to know of her passing. Today, Sunday, have had Roger, her husband, on my mind, wondering how he is. Could maybe find out if I searched, but best not to intrude on him and their family. :(( Perhaps in the close future?

[emmajoygreen]

You might want to read her obituary, type in her name online, see what it says. *

[Lorry]

Will do, many thanks.

[redzone]

Pat Wedel will be missed. Her poems and her comments were always warm, special, showing just how special a woman she was. She had a deep love of life and a wonderful way, through her words, of sharing that love here at WC.

Thank you Emma, for posting this and for your nice tribute to one of WC's finest poets!
-Curt

[emmajoygreen]

Thank YOU, red zone. Pat was a darling whether online or otherwise. Think many more of us will have missed her and this or that future will have us remember her at special times when a creature or plant appears yet again.. and again.

OMG! That is a shock. My condolences to her family and her friends. She was unique, highly caring, immensely talented.
I'm saddened. She will be missed.
I was wondering what happened to her.
Thank you for posting.

[emmajoygreen]

How kind of you. I missed her and missed her, had to work out what to do. Decided to just type in her name and voila!, it came up immediately. I knew she was ill but looked after her husband, Roger. Sad times happen every so often in the Cafe. :(

Forgive but my oven's buzzer has just gone, best go and save the food, Sami. Will be back. Many thanks you your empathy.

[Sami Khalil]

Sad but true indeed. She will be missed by all who knew her personally.
Enjoy your food. We got to survive. It beats the alternative.
Thank you too for the effort. God bless!
