Sugar
In March, I started this tribute with these lines.
It is not likely that we will be notified of the passing of Pat Lewis, known to us as Sugar. An email from Sugar was forwarded to one of us, saying she was on hospice and didn't know how long she had on the final journey home. Thank you for the friendship, be blessed, have a good life, were her final words.
Sugar was a pillar of J-land, its spiritual leader and minister - because Sugar was an ordained minister of the church. She was one of many who welcomed me into J-land, as she did so many others. She was creative, making tags in memory of those gone on ahead for Silent Keyboards.
With many thanks to the efforts of Linda Smith Shook in WA, I can now confirm, with reasonable confidence, that Sugar, Patrica Leona Fay Lewis (Cummings) passed away on 6 March 2024 in Kansas City, Missouri, at the age of 74. The obituary I screenshot is not accessible, because it has been removed - possibly because of certain problems that Sugar encountered during her life.
In common with all in this group, I shall remember Sugar as a pivotal member of our J-land community, right from the start. She was an ordained minister, always looking out for those in need. One of the contributions, relevant to this group, have been the many memorial tags for those that have gone on ahead. I am very sad that latterly, Sugar disappeared from the internet. She transferred to hospice care in January, and passed away in March.
