Sal Hemingway

I was informed of the death of Sal Hemingway (britsal @ aol), who has passed away on 20th June 2026. None of her blogs remain on line; I believe they were titled A Perfect Life. She had been ill in hospital since early April. I found a poem on her Facebook page which she reshared once or twice. Sal was of course known for her poetry, and was an original AOL J-land blogger.

Look for me in Rainbows.
Time for me to go now, I won't say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, way up in the sky.
In the morning sunrise when all the world is new, 

Just look for me and love me, as you know that I loved you.
Time for me to leave you, I won't say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, high up in the sky.
In the evening sunset, when all the world is through,

Just look for me and love me, and I'll be close to you.
It won't be forever, the day will come and then
My loving arms will hold you, when we shall meet again.
Time for us to part now, we won't say goodbye;

Look for me in rainbows, shining in the sky.
Every waking moment, and all your whole life through
Just look for me and love me, as you know that I loved you.
Just wish me to be near you, and I'll be there with you.

Gerry King Hitt

I am deeply saddened to announce the death of Gerry King Hitt at the age of 95. Gerry was one of the pivotal members of our J-land community, a published author and gifted writer. Her blog was entitled Daughters of the Shadowmen. The image shows her with her son Raymond, who announced her passing. Gerry had not been on-line for a couple of years, as she found it increasingly difficult to cope with Facebook and the like. Her blog remains  as do the memories of a towering figure in our community. RIP Gerry, we'll miss you.
