Goodbye Gail Angel Doyle

Gail Angel Doyle has now left the site
Her inspirational poems were a pure delight

I’m heartbroken that people here have caused her distress
She wrote a blog that she was leaving then changed her mind and wrote one saying she was taking a break but sadly now she is closing her account.

One would hope, Jan could visit the site and read the comments below. It might help her feel better having left. I will miss her too; she was a solid, dedicated poet. Very much needed on any site.

Thanks for telling us, Jan...I had no idea she was going to leave. Last she told me, she was busy and taking a break. I'm sorry to hear she closed her account. All of the beautiful, inspirational poems of hers I kept in my favorites are gone, I'm sorry to see. Hopefully, she'll come back when she's ready. Hugs, Rhonda

So sorry to hear that she has left for good; it's a shame that things could come to a point where people feel that they no longer belong. From Gail I have always received respect, friendship and encouragement. She will be missed. // paul

Thank you so much for letting us know, Jan. I had several of her poems in my favorites and now they're gone. Maybe there is somewhere else where she will go. I'll guess I'll have to keep on checking. Her inspirational poetry and loving comments will truly be missed. I didn't see her blog so I really have no idea why she left. Once again thanks for putting this up. Very kind, my friend.... Robert.

She was such an inspirational writer Robert I am so sorry to see her go. Sadly there are issues on the site that don't get resolved hence the reason why people leave. Hugs jan xx

Jan, I asked her to tell me what was wrong. She never told me and I only saw that one blog of hers. She really is leaving? I need to go see if her stuff is all gone and maybe she she has left up some poems I can see of hers. It was nice of you to let people know this so that we can try to persuade her to come back.
