Thank you for drawing that post to our attention. I'm absolutely shocked and horrified.
ReplyDeleteBookfool ~ Me, too. I just sat there with my mouth wide open in shock for many minutes, trying to comprehend what I was reading. :(
ReplyDeleteJoy - this is a very sad day in the book blogging community. I was stunned to learn about Dewey's passing this morning. She will be so missed...I just do not have the words to express my sadness.
ReplyDeleteI know! I was so shocked and saddened when I saw that a little while ago. She will be truly missed.
ReplyDeleteI don't even know what to say...my prayers are with her family during this sad and difficult time.
ReplyDeleteI was so shocked when I read the post this morning that I had to read it a few times. I couldn't believe it. She will be missed. Thoughts and prayers to her family.
ReplyDeleteI can't even begin to express how saddened I was by this news. Dewey was such a sweet person. She will sorely be missed. My heart just breaks for her family right now.
ReplyDeleteLosing a blogger friend is just so terribly sad. We know them via their blog, but we really don't have the same connection as we do with our face-to-face friends. How does one go about mourning someone they've never met? This is so heartbreaking.
ReplyDeleteOh, I am so very, very sorry to hear this news!
ReplyDeleteJoy, although I never had contact with Dewey in the ten months I've been blogging, I can see she was very important to a lot of people. My sympathy for the loss you and so many are feeling.
ReplyDeleteI am still in shock and teary eyed. I have been going from blog to blog all evening reading tributes. She will be greatly missed!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking that it might be nice for those bloggers who are Weekly Geeks to pay tribute to Dewey in the next week or so. To take the time to post to their blogs a "Weekly Geek" post about Dewey--maybe share their favorite posts from her site, maybe share a memory or two about participating in weekly geeks, the bookworms carnival, the 24 Hour Readathon, or one of Dewey's challenges, maybe just share a favorite memory of Dewey in general, what they'll miss most, how they'll remember her, etc. I'm going to try to post mine this Saturday--but bloggers anywhere and everywhere are encouraged to post whenever they want.
ReplyDeleteIf you're interested please SPREAD the word to all your blogging friends.
Note: You wouldn't have to have been an 'official' weekly geek to join in on this. New participants joined on a weekly basis. There was always room for more then...and now.
I am a newer blogger and didn't know Dewey. I do have her blog in my google reader and followed her blog. This is so sad as Dewey sounds like an amazing woman and I wish that I knew her.
