But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

I was shocked and horrified to hear of Gertrudes passing :cry: What an awful way for me to find out here on VJ. I would have hoped for at least a call from the family :( As an aspiring stenographer myself I looked up to her and how much she accomplished in her life and career. She will forever be my mentor and she will forever have a place in my heart. Thank you for creating this thread and giving me a place to mourn.

RIP (F)

I never knew the woman, but I've heard on the street that she was always warm and friendly, but played a mean game of Scrabble.

I heard once that it was Strip Scrabble. Maybe I'm mistaken.

d'oh! :blush: LOL

Oh, I haven't visited that thread... I don't understand the fascination with celebrities like they're our close personal friends.

Have to say, I agree...

There are plenty of real people in the obituaries every day that lived true hard working lives. I have far more sympathy for their deaths.
