I always enjoyed reading Moemg's posts and will greatly miss her contributions around here. My deepest sympathies, Gretchen.
As others have requested, please consider not deleting your mom's profile (along with her 11,000+ posts). I imagine she would have loved the idea of her many thoughts, insights, and nuggets of wisdom living on here at E-R.org.

I happened to be right across from her.

Thanks for jiggling my memory. I was able to go back and see the posts... unfortunately Moemg was hiding behind omni in the picture... maybe Moemg really was in witness protection and that is why she hid behind omni:

Plans are already underway for a 2019 gathering or two.

How kind of you to let us know about your mother. She will definitely be missed.
I know that we are virtual friends, but I always felt like we could be friends in reality. She was kind and helpful. I always liked to look at the books she read, because we seemed to have similar tastes in books. I know that she loved her family and especially her grandchildren.
It would be nice if you could leave your mom's posts up. I do go back and read old posts from time to time.
I am so sorry for your and your family's loss. Thank you again.

Gretchen,
Oh, no! I just learned about your Mother's passing. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Thanks for taking the time to let us know. Moe was a significant contributor and will be missed. I always enjoyed reading her thoughtful posts. Echoing many others here, I do hope you will leave Moe's profile/account here open so her words will continue to live on.
I had the pleasure of sitting next to her at our 2018 SWFL E-R.org lunch and chatting about travel and hearing her witty comments. A few more pix below.
