IHO Sparkle

Let's post some of our favorite TIP memories of her.

One of mine was when we were doing the Friday afternoon "parties" with the booze pics and just getting really silly.

Re: IHO Sparkle

  • Those Friday "booze" parties were what eased my lamentations over not being able to drink (as I was pregnant). They were also super fun.

    I miss the pictures of Franklin :-( 

  • I also miss the Franklin pics.

    Here she is holding one of my dogs.  She came to an event where we were set up for our buisness and she was our "Pom Rangler".

    This is the first time we met Franklin, and realized that he was NOT allowed to play with plush toys!  He taught my boy Riche how to tear out the fuzz, he never did it before that!  So funny!

    Sparkles was so playful...she brought a fun vibe to the board.

  • I remember some of her posts - thanks for helping to put a face with a screenname. Her pup is very cute.
  • How awesome (the pics). I am LOL-ing at "pom wrangler" haha. She sounds like a wonderful lady. I am sorry that I didn't get a chance to internet-know her or even really get to talk to her here on the boards. I am very sorry for her friends' loss.

  • PS- Autumnjoy I am dying for cuteness over your little pom there.

    PPS- does anyone know if someone made arrangements for poor little Franklin? He is adorable. I feel so bad for him without his mommy. :(

    I am sure he is staying with her mom or sister.  I'm going to find out once things settle down a bit.

  • Thanks for sharing the pictures and the memories.

    Thank you, she is a little spoiled princess, which is why she was insisting on being held!  We have 2 others, and they pretty much are just as spoiled!

    LOL! I kept reading "porn wrangler" instead of pom wrangler. I was hoping  you would explain exactly that that meant.

    I'm clearly very tired.

    I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns

    If Sparkles was here and responding to this, she would have said, "I WAS the porn wranger too when I got together with Autumn!"  lol!

  • Just for the record.

     

    Autumn's dogs are absolutely precious in photos and in person.  Seriously, Autumn, I love your pom's!

  • It saddens me that this is what brings me back to TIP.  She will be missed.  What I remember most is her silliness.  I could always count on Sparkles to bring some sunshine to my day with her "parties" and craziness.

    Thank you Peanut!  They are pretty dang cute!

    Oh-there were some fun times.  Not nearly enough since we only knew each other for so long and she lived in the 'burbs.  But we had the same sence of humor and immediately connected like we had always belong together as buds!  The first night we met, she just came downtown into the city with an overnight bag to stay, we knew there would be no question.

    My fi always rolled his eyes at us because he said it was like my twin had showed up.  We always got a kick out of that.  The last day she was alive, BeeBeeEater and I re-connected on here because I saw she had moved to Maine, and we live/work close to each other.  We were both looking up old threads to refresh our memories of our old names, and I was going down memory lane.  Found the thread when I posted the picture of Sparkles and I the night we first met, and evey someone on there said we looked alike. 

    Uhg.  Don't forget to not only tell your family how much they mean to them, but also your friends.  I hope deep down she knew just how much she was loved.
