If you knew Morning Glow on Bubblews-

Many here once wrote on Bubblews and some of us stayed in touch with friends we made there.
Morning Glow, who was Janine Streuli in the real world (wherever that is) passed away earlier this week. As she was only 40 something, most will find this a shock.
Having known Morning Glow for years before she listened to my suggestion to join the writing world, we stayed in touch. Janine had changed her life to take care of her ailing mother, who then passed away last year.
While talking to Janine the night before she died about her health concerns, she let me know she felt well enough to get a good night sleep. It is a long story, but she did not sleep well.
Just wanted to be sure everyone who knew this very nice person was very aware she is no longer with us.

Thanks for letting everyone know about this. If I knew her on bubblews, I don't remember now. But, I think that is the concern of many here that if they don't hear from someone often enough that could be the reason why and we may never know.
For some, though, life pulls them away completely especially if they have to spend time with parents as caretakers. A lot of us would find ways to still stop in, but not everyone can do that.

Several we knew on various sites have passed since we met them online. This was a person we knew before she wrote online.
There is no way for us to check up on some of the friends we made on the sites that closed.

@PatZAnthony Or with ones that we never exchanged emails with and even then, I suppose, there's no way of knowing what happened if they don't respond.

@MarshaMusselman Janine was someone we knew before there was an 'online' world. Having invited her to Bubblews and other places, we always stayed in touch.

I was an editor on Bubblews and did several channels but her name is unfamiliar to me. She must have written in the channels I didn't edit @PatZAnthony . What a shame. I'm glad you got to talk to her prior to her passing.

It is a surprise to me that Bubblews had editors-but many of us probably did not know that.

@PatZAnthony There were multiple editors for every channel we wrote articles about. Spelling, punctuation, sentence structure; it was a tough job considering each article was a minimum of 500 words and the thousands of people on the site. They had to be edited before being allowed to show up on the site.

I do remember her and that is heart breaking. =( I'm so sorry for your loss and the world's loss. She was a sweet person and much too young to pass away. Thank you for letting us know
