I appreciate all the comments here – I think we are all feeling similar ways…and I am happy to see that there will indeed be things going on to keep Dewey’s projects running and ways to honor her memory. I’ll post updates on those as they are formulated.

I was thinking that it might be nice for those bloggers who are Weekly Geeks to pay tribute to Dewey in the next week or so. To take the time to post to their blogs a “Weekly Geek” post about Dewey–maybe share their favorite posts from her site, maybe share a memory or two about participating in weekly geeks, the bookworms carnival, the 24 Hour Readathon, or one of Dewey’s challenges, maybe just share a favorite memory of Dewey in general, what they’ll miss most, how they’ll remember her, etc. I’m going to try to post mine this Saturday–but bloggers anywhere and everywhere are encouraged to post whenever they want.

If you’re interested please SPREAD the word to all your blogging friends.

Note: You wouldn’t have to have been an ‘official’ weekly geek to join in on this. New participants joined on a weekly basis. There was always room for more then…and now.

After reading her husband’s post it was on my mind all day yesterday, but I am still so shocked I cannot think of anything to say. I appreciate reading everyone’s eulogy posts, but have difficulty forming any words myself. I never saw this day approaching.

Like everyone else I’m shattered by this news. I had no idea that she was so ill. We do need time to recognise the enormity of the news but I agree, we should do something to remember her by.

We do need to do something to honor her. Even if it’s to set a certain time and day to all be silent or blog. I don’t know. LIke you said, we need time for it to sink in.

Thank you all for your comments – I have spent a good part of tonight reading tributes to Dewey on the blogs…what an amazing woman she was to have touched so many hearts.

Terri: I agree – we need to do something special in Dewey’s name…right now, I just cannot think of what to do. Perhaps as you say, we should let this sink in a bit first.

We will all miss her. She was such an amazing spirit in the blogosphere. It’s a terrible loss for everyone who knew her.

I know – this was such a shock to find out! She was a great contributor to the book blogging world.
