I'd say @Family - always nothing but kind and helpful and @Rocio0010 - for being the smartest and most supportive person I have met here. @Ontarkie also superb

When tomorrow starts without me..

please try to understand, That an Angel came and called

my name, and took me by the hand; The angel said my

place was ready, In Heaven far above, And that I'd have

to leave behind all those I dearly love. But when I walked 

through Heaven's Gates, I felt so much at home, for God

looked down, smiled at me, And told me "Welcome Home."

So when tomorrow starts without me, 

Don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me,

I'm right there in your heart.

I agree, there are far too many truly knowledgeable, helpful people to choose just one. Everyone here goes over and above. We can't forget @beloved_dingo, always so great. Oh, and @powerpuff

I do not think it was widely communicated.  I heard TBone refer to it once in passing about a year ago.  I came very close to mentioning it in my post, but wasn’t sure it was my place.
