Rather uncalled for don't you think, I had few run-ins with Di myself over
the last 10 years, but I know she never would have sunk to that

Even though I never agreed with her total anti-adoption stance I admired
what Di did in New South Wales in getting the wrongs of past adoption
practise recognised and in changing current attitudes and laws. That kind of
outburst just sullies her memory

I agree, Robin. We have all said things at times that might have
offended others, but there is no need for that sort of nastiness. Di
deserves better. I had thought that she had mellowed in recent years,
that perhaps she had become happier. I certainly hope so.

I had no idea Di passed away.   Does anyone here besides this stupid
cow named Joy, know what happened to her?  I am shocked.

Not so long ago Di had read something I had posted here which caused her
concern as to whether I was OK, she immediately asked a mutual friend in
Australia to who knows my phone number to give a call and check that I was
alright. Behind all the Bluster, Di was a person with genuine concern for
others, which Joy obviously lacks.

I had heard that things had not been going so well for Di in recent times, I
do hope that is in no way connected with her very sad death at a relatively
young age. I think we will all miss her whether we agreed with her or not

I had personal correspondence with Di over the years and found her a
compassionate and caring person.  We don't have to totallly agree with
one another to care about each other.  aa has lost two of it' most
contentious contributers in the last 4 years and we're not  the better
for it.

So true. That's what I was thinking this morning... that and the
passage of time. 16 years on alt a.

Thanks, everyone who's still here. I learned so much on this ng. And
Di and Bill were definitely part of that.

I haven't been here that long but alt.a is important to me. I have learned
and am learning day-by-day from all of you. A strong, intelligent person who
forced you to think about your life and your choices. What a loss.

Apparently on Tuesday night according to Marley's latest blog at
http://bastardette.blogspot.com/

Notwithstanding the vicious post that started this thread ... I send
my condolences and best wishes to those who knew and loved Di.

Oh my goodness, that's terrible.  I had no idea she was even ill.  She
wasn't exactly my favorite person, but I wouldn't wish that on anyone.  I
send out my condolences and best wishes as well :(

Thanks, Julia.

That's really sad. Her posts here were always worth reading, whether
or not you agreed with them.
She'll be missed.

Or whether she agreed with you ;)

Many of us, even those with whom she was often at loggerheads, have
good reason to remember her with kindness.

...and dare I say it?  Even with affection.

Rest well, Di.

Get a life.  It appears you were projecting *your*obsession onto Jackie.
You originally came to
alt. a proclaiming that Jackie was obsessed with you but based on your posts
here it would appear to be the opposite.

Di was not by any means my friend.  Nor was she my enemy.  She was a
strong-willed woman who believed she had been wronged by her society
and who wasn't going to let that pass without challenge.  She
succeeded in many ways, despite what some ( including me ) thought to
be a wrong-headed opposition to adoption under any circumstances and a
deep seated distrust of all who support adoption, particularly us, the
adopters.

She challenged us all in one way or another, whether on a visceral or
an intellectual level.  We will always need those who can do so.  My
world is less for her loss.

My condolences to those who have lost a friend to a painful disease.

Or the other mothers who didn't care for her generalizations, which
over time, I learned to forgive.
