I learned today that my dear friend and mighty pillar of support, Micky Gramlin, passed away in November 2021.
Micky was one of the first members at IBO Toolbox and established her presence there as one of the site's foremost presenters.
Her contributions were forthright, fun and fabulously insightful. She possessed a clear understanding of what really makes business tick and translated that into the development of her online enterprises. Like all top entrepreneurs she was unafraid of hard work and knew to concentrate on helping others. This she accomplished with ease, grace and flair. In all my experience I have rarely, if ever, encountered such talent, willingness and mischievous wit. She was also incredibly courageous.
God, I'll miss her.
For those like me, who knew her, through IBO or otherwise, this link is to a short obituary - https://putnamcountypost.com/obituaries/606519
R.I.P. Micky - you were, and remain, a true star, a brilliant light in every sense.
* Poignant words written by Micky, from 2014.
SPRING FEVER?
The snow has finally melted
for just a little while.
Usually I work and work
and
never notice what goes round.
But the sun and the blue sky
are beckoning to me,
whispering for me to join them.
A walk through the park
or
on the waters edge.
To let let the gentle breeze
capture my hair.
Awaken my senses
and
just let go of things gone cold.

Amen Linda. Beautifully expressed.
I am so sad to hear this, thanks, Tom. Micky's make it happen way of running a business and growing a business was an 'entrepreneurial' approach by today's standards. Micky was one of my IBO friends who always taught me something with every post. Her brilliance was always so helpful.
Amen to that George. The depth of her hands-on experience and the reach of her on-line influence were remarkable. A delightfully surprising lady in every way.
Thank you Tom for writing this post. She was a good friend to me too. We met on IBO and she was a very intelligent and hard working person. She had a great head for business and I miss Micky dearly and R.I.P.
Intelligent, hard-working, great head for business. A talented lady indeed Terri.
