Michelle [Celtic Flame] just posted this on her Facebook page. "Pauline [Poppie] peacefully but accidentally died in her bed friday night early in the morning."

Poppie was a very active member here at BWS for many years, and brought immeasurable kindness, compassion and nurturing to so many here, including me. I still have a poem of hers hanging on the wall beside my computer.

Those of us who knew Poppie are devastated and saddened by this news. Ann [Anno] has visited Poppie and considered Poppie her "adopted Irish daughter" and is devastated beyond words. We can also offer prayers for Michelle and her son Lucien.

We love you Poppie.
