I didn't know Kota personally, what I did know of her in the chatroom was she was friends with all and knew the deep felt concerns everyone had for her well being. She's in God's loving arms now and has peace. This is the highest desire of all of us when our time comes, to be loved by many friends and blessed by God. She will be missed dearly by many and I will miss her name in the chatroom cheering the sad, laughing with the happy, and her fence comments that would put a smile on your face. To her family, my sincere condolences that God will touch their hearts to let them know her peace and that she is in the best of care. Take care and God Bless to all. Judy

Kota, Thank you. In chat, your spirit and sense of humor always made me smile and laugh out loud. Even now in sadness these thoughts make me smile. My prayers to you, your family and friends. Steph

I am new to ES chat and Kota was the first to welcome me..she was sweet and so very instantly likable..My deepest prayers to her family and friends Kate

Have we heard if there will be any type of fund set up to which to make donations? Or should we just donate money in her name to a local horse rescue organization? BrightlyBurning had suggested hiring a horse drawn carriage to take her from the church to the cemetary, which I think Kota would have loved. I know a few of us were more than willing to chip in on the cost. PlayerMom

May the thoughts and prayers of loved ones bring you comfort in your sorrow, May the Lord's abiding love give you hope for each tomorrow. My Sympathy to Dak's family ~Mel~

Ive been gone since Friday morning and so just now found that Kota had passed on. It saddened me to no end to lose my little partner in crime in the chatroom. BUT..........what a great tribute to have this many people that cared for her to come together and express their sadness and memories. ES people are like a family, bad apples and all and Kota enjoyed them all. Let's all wipe our tears and lift up our heads and be so glad that we knew Kota, in person or just in chat, and it made us a better person just for that. I hope you are dancing in the clouds Kota, and I hope that you can look down and see all the friends you made and the good you did. Sandy

by Hal Swift A cowpoke's funeral is different than most For one thing there's poetry read For cowpokes love poems and write 'em themselves About all the things in their head They tell about loved ones an' things that they've done An' places they've been through the years The horses they've rode, an' the friends that they've knowed An' things that'll bring you t'tears For cowboyin' jist ain't a safe way t'live Yeah, cowpokes are quick on the mend Most all have got hurt, sometimes really bad But sometimes you'll lose a good friend An' that's when you learn things that you never knowed They all act like sister an' brother These people will see what a family needs An' quietly help one another Some of the stories that people will tell Bring tears that can help you to heal While others'll make you jist laugh right out loud No matter how sad you may feel The names'll be different but one thing's fer sure What comes through each time loud and clear Is how there's a love that helps everyone through It's something we all want to hear An' then, of course, there's the riderless horse Bringin' tears to everyone's eyes They know their friend won't be ridin' again At least not here under these skies An' after each person has gone up an' spoke The preacher man's said his last word Someone'll say stay an' eat up if y'like An' tell some more stories you've heard Yeah, cowpoke funerals are different than most For everyone's doin' their best To jist be good cowpokes, I guess you could say 'Cause that's how it is in the West ((((((((KOTA))))))))))) WE will miss u in the swamps and bayou!! Love u (((BABYGIRL))) Jen John KIddo

My heart is sad to have heard the news about Kotagirl...however my life is richer for having known this very special lady. Cutiepie

Ok folks lets dry those eyes, would KOTER want us all to be sad? KOTER would be embaressed with all this attention. Folks I talked to Koters dad saterday 6/9, Tom says thanks for all the love and support thru this very trying time.I told him about the chat room in her name, it kind of choked us both up. Tom says he will try to come into the room and thank all and chat, seems Koter wouldn't let him have the puter, she liked to chat to much. The good Lord needed another angel and came and took our beloved KOTER to help him. Hoss69
