I don't remember how to do this. I can't even remember how to make something 'bold.'

But I'm doing it for Kendra. I love you Kendra.
Robert Montgomery is the patron saint of 'The Classic Film Forum.'
Now we've got the brightest guardian angel as well.
Rest in peace, dear friend of ours.
You will ALWAYS be a part of this forum. :grouphug:

1. Thank you.

I will miss Longhorn's humor and knowledge of movies, but I am so glad to see a new (or is it returning?) participant in the Classic Films forum. Welcome!

[Dem2theMax]

3. You are welcome. I did it for my friend, Kendra.

Boo-hoo-hooing as I type this. Just can't stop crying about her. I bet she'd hate that. Too bad Kendra. I'm gonna cry for a while about this.

Kendra was so wonderful. No one can take her place. But if lavenderdiva says so, I'll do what I can to post the movies on Kendra's days. Last night, I came in here and saw when Kendra had been posting. I knew she'd do the same for anyone else, so I went nuts trying to remember where to find the movies over at TCM. Boy, has it changed. And yes, I am a returnee. If you go WAY back in the archives in the film forum, you'll see my name all over the place. I originally started the TCM postings. And now I can't even remember how to do it!

I'll need some reminders from everyone. So expect some questions to come up soon. lol?

For all of us.... :grouphug:

[Matilda]

2. Thanks.

They're big shoes (or boots) to fill, but you'll be fine.

I haven't felt like posting anything here for a few days, but it feels good to see a friend stepping
up in Kendra's place.

[Dem2theMax]

4. I couldn't fill those boots in a million years.!

They belonged to a one-of-a-kind human being. I will be forever inspired by Kendra. She may not have been given as many years on this planet as we all would have wished for her, but in her time here, she touched far more hearts than I bet she could have ever imagined.

I just know that she would expect us to keep on going on. If she could do what she did this past year....
Like I said, I will be forever inspired.

So you are VERY welcome. I can't believe I'll be posting in here in again, and she won't be in here, making comments and sharing her wonderful insight. Sigh...

[lavenderdiva]

5. like Matilda, I just haven't been able to post here

since hearing about Kendra's passing. I'm so glad you posted Dem2theMax- I know Kendra would love your being here and posting for her. We've missed you :hug: :grouphug: :hug:

[Dem2theMax]

6. You made me cry.

That really touched me. Thank you, lavenderdiva. I've missed all of you too. Being back in here, I sure wish it had been because of any other circumstance than the one that has happened. AARRGGGG....where is the Kleenex?

:grouphug: to all of us. I think we're going to need a lot of them for a long time to come.
