    Mott will be missed by all of us that met her, even if they only chatted with her, they MET her.

    Thanks for the paintings of her. Ann
Hello Abelle I am glad to see you here and I agree with you if you chatted with her you met her. I am sure a lot of people here will miss her.

    Bright, thank you so much for that lovely portrait of Mott; your painting of her captures the Mott I shall always remember. I first met her in FL back in 2007 and she welcomed me as she did everyone she met. What bundle of joy! Her persona made you believe in people again...not that I ever had much doubt but with Mott it was as if I had known her all my life (except for the southern accent lol). She certainly fought her dreadful disease without wanting us to feel sorry for her. Yet I often worried about her. I knew she must have been in terrible pain. I shall always have great admiration for this caring lady and although I was so very sad to learn she had passed, I now know she is at peace & without pain.
    Thanks also for the photo of the SFF gang ... so many familiar faces I've met at one bash or another in FL.
Hello Frenchsalsa.....I never thought of it but what you said is so true. The feeling that I had when I first met her in person. Her persona made me believe in people again and I wanted to paint that. She was one strong lady.

Hello Sparkleflit..........Thanks for your response and I appreciate it coming from a great artist such as yourself. You are correct I saw her as a complex person and I wanted to get that in the piece. I talked to her in chat and a few times talked to her on the phone. She had a lot of layers and I respected her for who she was. When I met her in Macon she was gracious, kind friendly and had a great sense of humor.

You are a very talented woman. I sobered up before "Sex on the Beach" but there are plenty of other adventures out there.

Recipe for SEX on the Beach
Makes 10 8-ounce servings.
3 3/4 cups (30 ounces) cranberry juice
3 3/4 cups (30 ounces) fresh orange, grapefruit, or pineapple juice
1 1/4 cups (10 ounces) vodka
1 1/4 cups (10 ounces) peach schnapps
10 maraschino cherries with stems, for garnish


I can make a "Virgin" Sex on the Beach with cranberry juice, pineapple juice and lots of maraschino cherries. This means I don't have to worry about sobering up after the party and I can drive everyone else home.

Smiling...... so you don't chase fast men, eh? At our age, most of them have slowed down considerably, so do you chase slow men? LOL. Mr. Joe is VERY slow, and I know he don't mind your "chasing" him.... in fact, it just might be the other way around!
Thank you for the tribute to Mott. She was indeed a one-of-a-kind..... as are you.

Hello Ford..Thank you for stopping by. You are correct she was a very lovely lady and as Mrsjoe said Mott was one of a kind. I had chatted with her a lot in the chat room and then I attended a meet and greet and met her I was amazed at her energy and how kind she was.
