Toots 1946 - 2006

Love and Memories from your League

Pathways

Memory builds a little pathway
That goes winding through my heart.
It's a lovely, quiet, gentle trail
From other things apart;
I only meet when traveling there
The folks I like the best
For this road I call remembrance
Is hidden from the rest;
But I hope I'll always find you
In my memory rendezvous
For I keep this little secret place
To meet with folks like you.
~Helen Steiner Rice

Sad to tell everybody but we found out today that Toots passed away Feb 1st. Hamish, her nephew will contact our adm and let us know her address so we can do something. I'm in tears, we lost a great and lovely lady. My heart goes out to her family.
Me loves u tootssssssssssssss ...Moni

I will miss my auntie toots greatly. I haven't had a mother for over 5 years and toots "adopted" me one night in the lobby when I mentioned that I sure would like to have a mom again. She was a terrific and special lady. She was a LADY in the true sense of the word. She helped me through so many difficult times over the past 5 years. She always asked about the kids and was there with me through my pregnancy with Alex. She loved Alex as if he was her own grandchild. Auntie toots I love you and will miss you with all my heart. Love Always, Candi, Alex, Ivy and Jessi

Dear Toots, I have only known you for two years but what great games we had. Yes you were my arch rival and I loved it, I so looked forward to playing you. I am pretty sure they have canasta games in heaven, my dear grandmother is there and we made sure she had two decks of cards to keep with her. She did not travel without them. Rest in peace now Toots, you will be missed and you have touched a lot of people in your short life. We are grateful for the part of you that belonged to us.
I will never forget you, you taught me so much. Thank you ...Jan

My thoughts go out to her family and friends, while I did not know her, I certainly hope those she left behind knows they are in my thoughts. I hope that however she enriched your life you are able to carry with you in all you do, for that way her spirit will never truly leave our realm ...Wendy

*tears streaming down her cheeks*..Toots was my "keeper" and I was her "monkey". She wasn't only a wonderful dear friend who would give you a warm hug but she was a smiling shining light in the lobby. OMG I can't believe she's gone...God took my angel and a very good canasta player. Her game was NTC and she was the best at that game. Her love for the game and people, will be greatly missed and I will miss her so much.
*looks towards the sky* Toots my keeper, you gave me so much and I will miss you. Keep a seat at the canasta table for me because I'll pard with you any day.
I love you *hugs* ...Beth

Toots, The love you had for life and people you shared with those of us that got to know you. As a ntc player you were the best and I know you were both loved and feared by many who passed your table. Your genuine love for people and life showed through in your words and your caring thoughts and we (Joy and myself) join Beth and many others in feeling the loss of a beautiful woman. May the Lord hold you close to His heart lovely lady and may He give you many wild and red 3's. Thinking of you with love, sadness and warmth ...Joy and Craig

I am so sorry to hear about toots. She was a great person. I will miss her greatly!

OMG I'm in tears here. TOOTS I will miss your smile and your hugs. You were always such a classy and always has something nice to say about almost everyone. One time when I was a little ticked off at someone you told me there is good in everyone and to look for it. Many times you have cheered me up and if I wanted to lose you were there to take my points. You always kept a secret, never outing me to anyone but always there to listen. So to my dear friend I send bear hugs and peck your cheek, I will miss you and hope to see you again one day! ...LOVE ME!!!!!

When you were playing canasta,you were so much fun to talk too and have fun with...I am sure the Trumpets sounded loud when you arrived home....may God be with your family and keep them safe until they meet you on the other side.... GOD BLESS YOU you will always be remembered in my heart!!!! ....Teresa

For those who don't know who Toots_1946 was I'm very Sorry you missed out on one of the loveliest people you would have ever met online. For those of you who did know her I share with you a great loss. I have known toots_1946 for quite along time back in Everest and then in 4fun. She has been a member in just 4 fun league since October 14th 2002. She was an Admin in 4fun when I became a TD and had helped me out alot. Even though she left staff she remained a member and always gave everyone warm greetings. She had a lot of spunk in her and She stood up for what she believed in!
I always called her tootsieroll and she called me salty . She was a great canasta player and yes loved ntc, man did she. Egg was right in the fact that Toots always saw good in people. She was well liked and well loved and so respected. And she will always be remembered by those who she touched and that is many. We will honor her, how could we not!! You will be Sadly Missed Tootsieroll. Rest in Peace our 4fun Angel.
"Rather than mourn the absence of the flame,let us celebrate how brightly it glowed."

My thoughts and prayers goes out to her family. We meet so many people online that they become your friend a part of your online family. She became a mother to some a true friend to others. Everyday you greet them with a hello, a hi and give them hugzzzzzzzz. You chat for a bit then get down to busy with a game of cards.
So when you look into the night sky and you see a bright star you know that she will always be there watching us, looking after us. You will always be remembered and missed in my heart and in all those that you have become a part of.. Maria
Tuhoestar

A loss for those of us left here and a gain for heaven. I understand why God has taken Toots home, He couldn’t live in heaven without her any longer.. A shining star for all of us. When I look to the heavens I know the brightest star is Toots looking down on us with her beaming face. Encouraging us to see the best in people to Love one another, embrace humanity. She was and still is an inspiration to us all. Digs wont be the same without her ***tears***. What a party Heaven is having right now, with trumpets soundings and bells ringing as well as a fair amount of trembling at the nasta tables as Toots takes her seat. :-p. I will miss you every day Toots :( and every ntc tourny I host I will remember you fondly, and just so you see this :( cos I know you was not used to seeing me in lower case as you commented one day in the lobby… you nearly missed my hugsssss because I was always ‘yellin’ at you… TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
See you in my ‘secret’ place. ...Love Robyn
i_likez_cake

I am so saddened by your passing, and will miss you oh so much. What a special friend you were! I had so many good times with you over the years, from Everest, to 4fun. NTC will never be the same again my friend. Thanks for all the good times and all the laughs. You are so loved, and will be forever remembered.
My thoughts and prayers go out to your family, and all of your friends. I know that you are comforting them though, and will watch over all of us and help us get through this sad time. R.I.P. my friend, and I can't wait till we can meet again and play NTC. HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS BABSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Love, Tesssssssssssssssssssssssss

Hi hun, I just want to say thanks so much for loving us and caring for us like you do, and being the link that we all depend on sometimes. I am sure that your heart broke each time you had to tell someone about Toots, and yet you did it over and over and over and over........I'm sure you will be for weeks yet. Thanks for caring so much about all of us, and keeping our FAMILY linked. HUGSSSSSSSSSSS to you! ... Tess

Grandma, an internet friend , touched my life so deeply and I reckon I touched hers as well. I'm gonna miss you grandma every time I take a bubble bath when I eat chocolate chip cookies and sit at a kitchen table when I splattt people with the paint balls that you left in the corner in a sack just for me the hugs and the kisses and the great advice you gave me and for the hugs and kisses and for telling me you always loved as you said "my granddaughter" and I'm gonna think of you when I see new flowers blooming and the smiles on other people's faces and when I make new friends and when I'm out looking at a beautiful sky... I am stronger because of you for a little seed that you planted in me... and I may have never seen your face but I had a connection with you like no other could ever know.. I love you so much and you will always be in my heart and my mind and my soul... growing daily and I will remember every piece of advice you gave me and I will keep your life within me and I want to be the kind of person you were touching others and loving others no matter what they are like or who they are... I want to pass on your memory.. I love you my grandma.... the only grandma I have as you said no one else could be called grandma... I am your only granddaughter and I send you my rose as well as usual...
hugsss and kissesss and splatttttt :) Tig

I spoke to Tootsierolls Husband Warren Tonight and we will be sending him all the posts and emails I recieve to him so he knows how well Babs was loved online. He thanks all of you for your love of Babs and condolences. They were married for 36 years. He will be sending us a picture of Babs when he "can get it out of the camera". Before going into the hospital Toots removed everything off of her computer so he had no way of contacting anyone or no clue where to go because he never used the computer, it was Babs baby. And he returned it to the shop they leased it from, so unfortunately that is why we had no news about her. We will Honor Toots on the 12th of April (her birthday) As we would like to make it a special day for her. For those of you who want to do something for Toots in lieu of flowers I think it would be nice to make a donation to the Diabetes Society in Australia on behalf of: Barbara "Babs" Northey As this was the disease that she had struggled with for many years. As soon as I get the Info for this I will post it. ....Laurie

Some of us make close and dear friends online, I know I have, NOPUTT is like a sister to me and T( o ) ( o )Ts and I were friends for almost as long as noputt and I...I have met many in person, and noputt was one of them and would have loved to have met TOOTS but we live worlds apart but we sure had some good times online. When I threw confetti in the lobby, she made me get my dirt devil out and clean it up... I always said it was TOOTS fault that Mrs Loco's tail got caught in the dirt devil...Well I had to blame somebody!!!
She will be sorely missed but my love for her will continue as she has passed from this life into a much better one and for that I am grateful that she will suffer no longer, as she was so sick the past few months yet, she struggled to go on.
That is how TOOTS was... didn't let much get her down. I love you TOOTS and save me a comfy corner of heaven please. I will see you in the bye and bye. Love Linda
sassiplayer

Your right about the lobby Linda lol..Holly would say achooo that dang pepppaa and Toots would always all of a sudden show up and say bless you Holly. Then we would all go in our own special greeting to her. I'm going to miss that so Much. ..Laurie
salt_n_pepppaa

Dear Salt, Thank you so much for letting me go through you to Mr. Toots. I don't know how to post on the forum.
Mr. Toots, I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Toots was a very special friend and I loved her so much. I will surely miss her and I know God gained a very special angel. I pray you will be okay and I know you are hurting. Thank you for sharing her with us here at 4fun league. She was a great treasure to us all.
My sweet Toots, I will miss you so much Hun. If you see my Mom up there, ya'll hug each other for me and someday I will meet you there and get my real hugs from you. My Dear Friend, I love you and will miss you greatly. Love always .... Deb MacInnis
Toosweet1953

I came on yesterday morning to see some offlines about Toots passing, this automatically saddened me, she was someone I respected and adore so much.. she was definately a keeper, she was one of the sweetest people I have ever met online, I feel blessed to have had many of chats and exchanges of huggs and kisses with.. Toots, you were an angel always and I know you're an angel up above watching over us.. there is plenty I can say bout Tootsie, but I know this, I miss her very much and will be missed alot by so many.. muahhhhh Toots you were truly a great loss and I pray for your family.. as for me not long after her notice and me getting a # from one of the ladies that did leave an offline which I plan to call her hubby and send him my condolences and let him know she was so loved here.. well I haven't made the call yet because less than an hour later I received a call that my Uncle passed.. this was 2 deaths in one day for me, thats 3 deaths in one week and half.. I can't begin to express what I've been feeling.. But I do know I loved each one differently because they were all special in their own ways.. If there is one thing I know is enjoy all the time spent with your family, on-line family, friends, Wifeys', Sub wifey with much respect n love.
huuuuuuuggggsssssssss to all. R.I.P. Tootsie roll muahhz loves ya hunny ...Dee
dee_loves_hugs

I have sat and read the posts of you guys remembering Toots, and I am saddened by the loss of her as well..But at the same time..I am also remembering some that I have met over the years, that for no good reason, have just lost touch with...for that, I feel so guilty. What if I came to this forum and read about them? Never to have been able to say, "good bye", "I love you", "I think you are a great soul", etc..So, I guess, I am saying, when something like this happens, you start regretting, and I don't want to "regret" things left unsaid...so here it goes...
Randy (atti2ude4u) For many years, we have been so very close...I loved you as my brother, my best friend, and have admired you for you always standing up for yourself, never taking crap off anyone! I still love you, and admire you, and I am so very sorry we haven't kept in touch over this last year..I love you Randy very much!
Cara (carebearub)..We became very good friends, very fast. I loved your outspokeness, and I loved the way, you always let me speak my side of an opinion, even if you didn't agree with. You helped me alot last year in the first stage of our diagnosis with John, but we lost touch so quickly. I still like to think that we are "friends".
Laurie (salt_n_peppa)..Hrmm..so much I could say about you. You told me once, never to be ashamed of what I do, or how I feel, and I remember that still this day. I respect you greatly, and still consider you as my friend here online!
"Sis" (insane_mum) How time flys. Haven't spoken to you alot in a LONG time, but love you so very much, as I do my real sisters.
Moni (thevalkyriebabe) I love you for always caring about me. Thanks for that, it means the world to me. You helped me in just small ways, but were big in my heart, along the way in John and I's battle with cancer..btw, he is doing great! There are sooo many more to list..sassiestplayer, for always sharing those great recipes with me...Rich, for caring about me, and my kiddos, Candi, for just being herself with me..Sean, for being a great friend, even when I didn't like what he had to say.
Anyways just wanted to get those things off my chest.
Much love to you all!!! ...Cherilynn McGowin
sassycher

Anytime hon. I know it's the little things who always touch the most, esp on the net when you are only getting to know each other by chatting which each other :).
Im glad he's doing great ...Moni
thevalkyriebabe

Oh Man Cher we have had some times have we not? The disagreements we have had in the past is just that in the past. I hold in my heart and mind The conversations we have had and tears we have shared . I thank you for reminding us of letting those know who have touched us in some way how special they are to us ..Laurie.
salt_n_pepppaa

Cher I'm sorry we lost touch in the last year or so. I greatly admire your strength and determination. We didn't always see eye to eye but you always respected my opinions and vice versa. You didn't let anything that happened here change our friendship and for that I thank you. I'm always here for you if you need to talk or just vent.
As I know you've been there for me. Hugssssssssssss ....Candi

Suggestion for TOOTS Birthday Tourney Honors

Perhaps us PREMIUM members that can donate bux, pledge a certain amount... to Winner, another pledge to runner - up, another to those in semi finals and didn't make it to the finals? I will pledge 500 bux cuz thats all they let us lowly plats donate a week LOL...Maybe other premiums could pledge some bux to the first round of losers? Just A thought... I would like to see this be a BIG tourney and lots of bux to encourage participation and make the TD work a little hehehehe... Linda
sassiplayer

Maybe we can do 1 dubs at 5am n 1 dubs at 12 pm ...Moni
thevalkyriebabe_4fun_htd

I know this won't go over well with some members BUT since toots loved her NTC games why not make most of the day NTC games in her honour? Then have 2 maybe 3 big doubles tourneys at like 5am, 12pm and 7:30pm or something.
Just a thought ...Candi
an.obsessi0n

Perfect suggestion
your_angel42nite

I had a similiar thought, NTC day for TOOTS ... Kiwi
i_am_a_kiwi_jax

Yes, I agree, she loved NTC and a day of NTC tournies in her honor would be great and to keep our skill folks happy, do skilled on the half hour or something so they are not left with only no touch to play but to be honest, if it were to honor a skilled player and we had a day of nothing but skilled games, I would play... of course I play both anyway so no matter to me ...Linda

Poem for Toots and her friends

My Dearest Friend
I did not want to bid you goodbye
I wanted so much to keep you..
God wants you more... He needs you more...
One of His precious Child have come home
Am left here missing you...
thinking of the memories...
the times you cried with me...
the times you laugh with me...
the countless advise.. the mild reprimands
with you I have found a friend....
a friend who can see beyond the thorns
and see the beautiful garden within me...
a friend that taught me to look for the goodness in people
when God knows there is so much evil around us....
you have loved me for who I am... not who you want me to be..
your memories will linger in my heart...
I will miss you so....
But now you are in a closer walk with God....
As much as I hurt for losing you.... you are now an angel that will watch over me
You are a rose that will bloom every day in my heart....perfect....and rare
Thank you my dear friend....
for touching my life.. leaving the wonderful footprints in my heart...
Now you are without sorrow and pain.. and probably singing joyfully in Heaven
peering down...checking....making sure I'm okay....
I love you! .....Rosie
One_Luvable_Brat

Beautiful poem Rosie
your_angel42nite

The true friends who we meet online are a very special kind
They pierce your shields and see within the corners of your mind.
They're always there when you're in need with their power to discern.
They feel your pain, they offer hope and genuine concern.
We bare our souls, expose our hearts and show our inner fears, and then before you know it the keyboard's stained with tears.
And if we could see them through that screen then no one could deny that to be a TRUE online friend they too must surely cry.

Today is a Day Dedicated to a Friend and a long time member of our 4fun Family, Toots_1946. Toots passed away on Feb 2nd 2006 Today would have been her 60th birthday. Toots (tootsieroll as I called her Babs to some , mom and grandma to others but friend to all) Loved NTC Games so this Day is Dedicated to her.
There have been angels in my life.While they haven’t arrived with a blast of trumpets or a rustle of wings,I’ve known them just the same.They performed their acts in human guise Sometimes borrowing faces of Family and FriendsSometimes posing as a well-meaning Stranger
You have known them too When the right word was needed, When a Tiny Act of Kindness made a Great Difference Or perhaps you heard a voice whispering in a night of sorrow the words not quite clear but the meaning unmistakable
THERE IS HOPE THERE IS HOPE!!!
I know you are joining us on this day. I just wish we could have had this day for you before your passing. You will always be remembered
Love You Tootsieroll Rest in Peace Our 4fun Angel

Dearest Babs,
There really are no words that can explain the void that was left in our hearts when you were taken from us. Our family will never be the same without you. We can only take comfort in knowing that you are not suffering, and that you are in a better place. We are sure by now, you have taught everyone how to play NTC Canasta, and know that there will be a place for us at your table when we can play again.
Rest in Peace, our friend and know that you are loved and missed tremedously.
HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSS BABSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
We Love you!!! ...Tess

Happy Birthday Toots
I haven't been able to put into words what I want to say to you all this time but 1 thing that keeps coming to my mind is how I felt when my Momma passed... "dont grieve for me, I'm in heaven with Jesus now" ...but as I try not to cry, I can't hold back, it's hard to explain to people that this is not just the internet, but there are real people behind these monitors...and you were a real person and a great person... I dont have no real fancy words to say cause I know you are happy where you are, but do know you are missed by a ton of people here... some you knew for a long time and some you may have only met before you went Home... I'm glad I met you in 4 fun toots... and im happy thinking about the lil chats we had... it keeps your memory alive in my heart... love, Kim...
ps...when you meet a wonderful angel name Cynthia... that's my Momma... hug her for me plz

There have been angels in my life.
While they haven’t arrived with a blast of trumpets or a rustle of wings,
I’ve known them just the same.
They performed their acts in human guise
Sometimes borrowing faces of Family and Friends
Sometimes posing as a well-meaning Stranger
You have known them too
When the right word was needed
When a Tiny Act of Kindness made a Great Difference
Or perhaps you heard a voice whispering in a night of sorrow
the words not quite clear but the meaning unmistakable
THERE IS HOPE
THERE IS HOPE!!!
Love You Tootsieroll Rest in Peace Our 4fun Angel

Into the Mystic Babs
I'm sitting here listening to the song *Into The Mystic* and it's your song Babs. I haven't written anything in here before today because I guess I haven't come to terms with your passing. I'm a firm believer in the afterlife and also I believe that even tho someone isn't with us anymore, they are always with us. Their souls and their spirits live forever in the ones they have left behind. I do believe you are looking down on us and smiling. As crazy as it sounds, tonite when we all got locked out of digs, you came to mind. Thought hmmm betcha it's Babs doing that, letting us know she is here with us.. I dont think it is crazy because like most people, we don't know what is out there after we leave. Most of us spend all our lives trying to figure out what our purpose on earth is, few lucky ones figure it out.. But it seems to me that the ones left behind know what the ones who passed purpose was. Yours was to teach us unconditional friendship and the meaning of a true friend. You listened to people when they were down and gave advice, you laughed with people when they were happy and you took many under your wing and gave them an aunty or a mom to call their own. And to everyone you gave friendship. You are an amazing woman and we have all been blessed to have met you Babs. Love Barbie

Friendship poem for Toots
I believe in angels,
The kind that heaven sends,
I am surrounded by angels,
But I call them friends.
Toots this is what you meant to me and I am sure a lot of others here in 4fun.
