Yearly remembrance - Anne Rice


October 4, 1941 - December 11, 2021

I'm a day late! Sorry, Anne.

It's hard to believe another year has passed since you left this world. You are sorely missed. Just knowing there will be no more of your writing brilliance makes me sad. I take heart though in the wonderful adaptations of your works, Interview with the Vampire and The Mayfair Witches. Your work will now be forever immortalized not only in print, but on the screen too. Your dear son is doing a wonderful job of carrying on your legacy, and he keeps your memory alive for us. I hope you are resting well.

Yearly remembrance - Anne Rice


It's hard to believe you've been gone for a year. I miss your delightful and intelligent posts from your page that used to pop up in my Facebook news feed. You were definitely dedicated to your "people of the page." I like to think you're smiling, wherever you are, at the brilliant interpretation of your characters in the "Interview with a Vampire" AMC series. You will live on forever in your characters. Even knowing that though, you are still missed greatly by many.

Rest in Peace, Anne Rice (10/4/1941-12/11/2021)


To say I'm heartbroken is an understatement. I woke up to the news and immediately started crying my eyes out. This woman, and her books, meant the world to me for over 30 years. Her writing advice was gold, and her interaction with her fans was phenomenal. I can't even emphasize how much she will be missed, not just by me, but millions of fans around the world. I will honor her each year on December 11th with an in-memoriam post (as I do for Heath Ledger and David Bowie each January). Rest in peace, dear Anne.

Here are some of the posts featuring Anne and her work over my 12 years of blogging...

Cat Thursday - Rest in Peace, Alice Anne


Welcome to the weekly meme that celebrates the wonders and sometime hilarity of cats! Join us by posting a favorite lolcat pic you may have come across, famous cat art or even share with us pics of your own beloved cat(s). It's all for the love of cats! Share the link to your post with your comment below.

On Sunday, I found Alice on the floor early in the morning convulsing (it appeared). She was in obvious distress and could not get up. She's 14 so up in age. I drove her to the emergency vet office in Saginaw. She had a myriad of tests (blood, urine, etc.). She was in early stage kidney failure and she was hypoglycemic. Vet suspected a possible tumor on her pancreas, or a brain tumor. She had been fine, though a little slow going the past couple of weeks. This was very sudden. I had to make the difficult decision to let her go. I didn't want her to suffer, or have a poor quality of life. It is so very heart-wrenching. I can hardly bear it. 14 years of so much love. I know she had a great life. We will miss her so much. I was with her. Mom was with us too. This was her in our final moments together, before she crossed over the Rainbow bridge. Rest in peace, my Alice Anne. I will always love you. 


A look back at her wonderful life...

The early days (some of the pictures aren't great. It was 2007/08). She was four months old when we got her and she was always big for her age.


Birthdays were always special. She loved her brothers and they adored her. Bottom middle was her last birthday, her 14th, in February.


She adored her Grandma.


With her sissy.


She loved boxes...of all kinds...


and loved joining us on game night.


Sadly, no pics of me with her, but in the three below, I'm holding her. 



A photo miscellany of her over the years. She was a treasure. We sure are going to miss her. Life just won't be the same without her. 


I'm linking this post to her photo in the side bar. Here's the link to when I introduced her to the blog back in 2009. http://www.truebookaddict.com/2009/09/all-about-alice.html

Rest well, Alice. ❤❤❤

Yearly Remembrance - Heath Ledger #gonetoosoon


I'm a day late! Sorry, Heath.

April 4, 1979 - January 22, 2008
"I'm not good at future planning. I don't plan at all. I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow. I don't have a day planner and I don't have a diary. I completely live in the now, not in the past, not in the future."

Yearly Remembrance - David Bowie #Starman


David Bowie - 8 January 1947 – 10 January 2016

Rest well, Starman.

"Starman"

Didn't know what time it was the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
That weren't no DJ that was hazy cosmic jive

There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile

And he told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie

I had to phone someone so I picked on you
Hey, that's far out so you heard him too
Switch on the TV we may pick him up on channel two
Look out your window I can see his light
If we can sparkle he may land tonight
Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright

There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile

And he told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie

Yearly Remembrance - Heath Ledger #gonetoosoon



April 4, 1979 - January 22, 2008

Another year has passed with you gone from this earth. It's evident I'm not the only one who misses you.

Yearly Remembrance - David Bowie #Starman




David Bowie - 8 January 1947 – 10 January 2016

Gone, but never forgotten.

"The Man Who Sold The World"

We passed upon the stair,
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there,
He said I was his friend

Which came as some surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone,
A long-long time ago

Oh, no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

I laughed and shook his hand,
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land,
For years and years I roamed

I gazed a gazely stare
At all the millions here
We must have died alone,
A long-long time ago

Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

Yearly Remembrance - David Bowie

David Bowie - 8 January 1947 – 10 January 2016

We remember you, David. Your music, and message, live on.

Peace on earth, can it be
Years from now, perhaps we'll see
See the day of glory
See the day when men of good will
Live in peace, live in peace again

Peace on earth, can it be

Every child must be made aware
Every child must be made to care
Care enough for his fellow man
To give all the love that he can

I pray my wish will come true
For my child and your child too
He'll see the day of glory
See the day when men of good will
Live in peace, live in peace again

Peace on earth, can it be
Can it be


From Peace On Earth - Little Drummer Boy, performed with Bing Crosby, 1977
