I just glanced over at my bookshelf and there is her book... She was a lovely lady... she used to post poems all the time for us on the old 2peas. She made me a few of my own poems too. She really has a gift. Anyone seen her lately?

I remember her from the old board. She was so generous with her time, always willing to help anyone with a little poem.  |

I remember her!!! She is a wonderful person.
Funny story, we were transferred to California. I kept telling my husband that I was sure I had met our next door neighbor's Mom. They were the nicest family and our neighbor loved to spend time with her Mom. We often would talk outside when we would see each other. A month or so after we moved in, I found out they were being transferred. A few weeks after they had moved I was on Two Peas and realized where I had met her Mom. I had "met" her on the board, it was Thena.

Thena has popped up here from time to time. Every year or so someone posts a Where's Thena thread. Everybody loved her.
I used to write poems too and whenever someone would post 'Need a poem for xyz layout' I would try to post one for awhile but invariably someone would say, "Ask Thena." and then she would post a little rhyme for them. So finally I just said,"Forget it." I had a few in the Pea Soup section for many years.

I think I saw her pop up once, but can't remember if it was here or there.
She was so nice. I have her book. I can't remember the exact story but I lost it and mentioned it on old 2peas. She replaced my book for free and even autographed it. I never lost it again! I am going to get it out!! If I can find it,
I'll share a thing she did for me when my friend passed away. He was older, in his 70s I think and such a comedian. I was asked to say something at his memorial and she helped me come up with a poem based on his life. It was PERFECT. It suited him to a tee. It was like she KNEW him personally!

I think she was also active on the Memory Makers forum. Or maybe her poems leaked over there.

I asked her once if she would consider writing a poem for my neighbor. She was the mom on the corner lot where all the kids in the neighborhood came to play, and she was the sweetest lady too. I gave Thena the briefest description of her, and the poem she wrote captured her so well!
I think she just has a really good insight into people in general. I hope she's doing well.

More Thena Love! She wrote a poem for me once.
Reminds me of Brandy the doodle girl (her last name has escaped me momentarily) who drew doodles for anyone who asked. I cherish little things like that, the kindness of strangers is really a beautiful thing.

I don't remember her (wish I did!) but there was a lady on old 2peas that had software (I guess) and could make your handwriting a font. I still have it and use it! |

She wrote a poem in memory of my grandmother. I remember her saying she had issues with her hands (tremors or something?) and that was one of the reasons she was doing more digital things. I hope all is well with her. She's the sweetest lady. |

I remember her. She had published poetry books but was kind enough to write them for Peas who needed a verse for a layout or card.
