Where’s Skeet?

skeetWhen I first started this site, I frequented a few blogs by fellow Hawaii themed bloggers.  We all enjoyed interacting together and I admit, I began slacking a bit but we all seemed to.  One blog I particularly liked was Skeet’s Stuff.  What a sweet lady.  She lived in Hawaii and had to move back to the mainland.  She had a sweet beagle named Lance and it’s funny how you get attached to other people you don’t even know.  Skeet was always ready with a kind word and I just loved her style.  We had the Four Foods on Friday meme in common and that’s how I came to talk with her.  I miss her Tuesday Teasers contests she used to do.  I rarely got them right but was always intrigued to see what she would take a pic of next. 

She hasn’t updated her blog since May 2009.  The most recent thing I could find was by clicking her Flickr feed tonight where I saw that sweet little Lance has passed in December.  My heart broke for her even though it wasn’t necessarily unexpected.  He seemed like a wonderful companion for her.  I miss Skeeter Bess.  I miss her presence on the web and as I type I find myself tearing up.  I enjoyed her updates of living in Hawaii from her job as an inspector to what yummy thing she picked up on the way home and was looking forward to reading about adjusting back to mainland life. 

If anyone happens to know how she’s doing, please let me know in the comments or direct her to this post.  I’d just like to know that she’s okay and to let her know she’s missed.

    I still talk to her on Facebook – I miss her blog, too! I keep forgetting to ask her about her non-blogging-ness. I will do that.

    Ah, my friend, you made me cry! Mahalo nui loa for your kind words. My friend Lisa Burnette Roberson at Hippie Spelunker saw your post and forwarded me the link via FaceBook, where I’m known as Skeeter Bess (2 words.) Will you friend me over there so we can chat and catch up on each other?

    I have had the priveledge of working with Ms Skeeter for a year and a half now and I couldn’t have found a better friend. She is one of a kind. She would go over and above for anyone. Texas aquired and good woman even though she misses Hawaii dearly. We are so glad to have her here.
