    Default Member Map Candle

    I hope no one minds, but of the 60 or so people who had put a stick pin on the WegMap, all but 4 had used a standard "push pin". A couple had used the candle and a couple others had used the sunflower. With the death of Jack, I decided to change all the pins to the standard push pin and changes Jack's to a candle. I hope no one minds.....

    If ok with everyone, we'll just kind of use that as a convention and hope we don't get anymore candles....

    How do I find the MAP? Seems there must be an obvious link that I'm not seeing.

    Trudy--click on the Weg-map link in vdub's post above. Then you hve to register (easy), go to additions, do "simple", then type your postal code or address, and, if you wish, your name. That should do it! You can preview before submitting, f you like.

    I was a candle, you know, light for lightwarrior. I'm fine with you changing mine to a push pin. I like the use of a candle for Jack and for any others we may have in the future. A light burning to remind us of the light they shared with us.

    I joined just after Jack died, but from what I have read he must have been quite some guy. I think it is a wonderful way to remember Jack and for any other sad losses.

    He was quite a guy... He was a friend to all and suffered with this silly disease for 25 years. He was on the forum giving advice and encouragement nearly every day even when you knew he was sick and tired and huring. He fought to the bitter end and his passing was a shocker to all of us. He was a great guy and will be missed.....
