Sad News

[DianeinSparks]

We lost a dear Splitcoatstamper friend; buggainok. Her daughter said she died peacefully in her sleep last night. Annette was diagnosed with inoperable and very advanced lung cancer only a month ago. I will miss her comments in the forum and all the good advice she always gave.

[SkyNacho]

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. I always liked her avatar-- I think one of her grandkids must have drawn it. It was cute.

[uncbballfan]

I'm sad to learn this. I will miss her very much.

[CreativeCardsea]

Oh no! This is such sad news...

Annette always struck me as such a bright and lovely person, with so much practical and savvy advice to share. She will be missed.

[hoptownracer1]

Makes me sad...I will miss her! She was always so kind and friendly in her posts! She made such cute cards and was very warm and welcoming! She will be missed!

[barbaranne_stamps]

My prayers and sympathy go out to her family & friends.

[Dotty]

Oh, how terribly sad. Annette was one of the best with help and advice and always so incredibly kind. Thoughts and prayers to her family. xx

[Angelnorth]

Very sad to hear this. Annette’s username and avatar always made me smile and she was a lovely member of the community, she’ll be missed. Sympathies to her loved ones.

[lylacfey]

Annette meant the world to me. She inspired me so much. I am heartbroken right now. I am so sorry for her family. She was such a beautiful person and touched so many. I will miss her dearly.

[jeanstamping2]

Sad news indeed. Annette was a very cheerful and left wing person.

I will miss her!!

[shazsilverwolf]

This is so sad to read. She was such a lovely part of this community. My thoughts and sympathies to her friends and family.
The only other thing I can say is when it comes down to it, that is the best possible way of our lives ending, and we would all hope to be so fortunate to pass peacefully in our sleep.

[bjeans]

Oh, so sad. Her last post is so upbeat and gentle, as always. I’m so sorry.

[Scrapjanny]

I'm so sorry to hear this. She was always so bright and cheerful. I'll miss her. Hugs and prayers for her family and friends.

[fionna51]

Oh, no. She will be missed for sure. I will be praying for her family.

[gregzgurl]

Sad news, indeed... She is, as others have said, the kindest and warmest of souls. I am sure that she is blessing others with that sweet spirit wherever she may be now! Her avatar was, indeed, drawn by one of her grandkids - the grandson that dubbed her "Bugga". We had a conversation about it once because one of my granddaughters calls me "Binga". Her grandson is in his twenties now, and still calls her Bugga. These are the sweet memories that keep our loved ones close in our hearts...

[cardmaker2]

Aww I’m so sorry. She was such a familiar and friendly ‘face’ here. I will miss her. My sympathy and pray to her family.

[c-mouse]

Sad news indeed. She will be missed.

[wavejumper]

Oh....I am sad to hear this :( She was a lovely human being. I will miss her. She was very generous with technique advice. It is a loss for the SCS community.

She made beautiful cards for her family that I bet now they will cherish-

This is her gallery for people to see....

Thank you for letting us know.

[UnderstandBlue]

OMG no :( I will miss her so, so much. I'm heartbroken.

[TexasGrammy]

Very sad to read this. Annette was such an active part of the forums as well as sharing in the gallery. I had wondered if we might ever meet as I'm from OK and travel in that area when possible. It hasn't been long at all since she shared her difficult diagnosis.

Tell your dear ones, family and friends, of your heartfelt feelings when you get the chance. Share that {{{huggg}}} as well. Tomorrow is not a guarantee, m'friends.

Prayers for Annette's family and dear ones.

What sad news....

Annette was so sweet. She and I had exchanged PM's over the years; one of her grandsons is about the same age as my DS and both boys are on the spectrum for autism.


We have lost a gentle and caring soul.....my heart hurts today

Sending heartfelt condolences to her family and loved ones.

[canada goose]

How sad. I always enjoyed her posts.

[cobby]

Oh no. So sad. Her warmth and creativity out here was a “highlight” of the time I spend here getting inspiration. Prayers for all her family and friends.

[desertdeb]

Thoughts and prayers with her family and all those who are grieving. Her posts offered friendly suggestions and lessons learned from her own experiences.

[howdyheidi]

[Juble]

So sad to hear this. I always enjoyed her comments and her helpful information.

[bencer99]

I am so very sorry.

[stampersandee]

Oh my! So very sad!

[muscrat]

Annette had such a generous heart! She once sent me an envelope punch board and told me she enjoyed how I was encouraging everyone about patiently waiting for their,s, that she didn't want me waiting anymore. She said when the one i ordered finally arrived I should either keep the one she sent me or gift it, which I did. I'm so saddened to hear she has passed.

[fl_beachbum]

Thanks to the OP for sharing this information. So sad.

[Brenda71]

So sad!! Sending prayers to her friends and family.

[PMR]

I’m sad to hear this. Is there an address where I could send a card to her family?

[hotwheels]

Thanks for letting us know......So sad!! Sending prayers to her friends and family. Linda

[southgirl]

How awful. It is hard to lose a child. But to cancer is much worse. I am so very sorry.

[Dorie95]

Bugga often wrote how she loved to make things for her large family and her friends. Rest in peace.

[TeeGeeDee]

This is such sad news. Her posts were always helpful and fun. Sympathy to all who loved her (I know if is a grest many).

Bug's sweet voice was a huge support during some very trying times for me. I will miss her greatly.
