I think this will prove to be a tough week for me Kodo, please keep me and mine in your thoughts. Going to visit with my Aunt today and it will not be easy as she was close to Debbie as well.

 

Today, of all days, there will be no way that I cannot keep you guys in my thoughts.. Today is Debbies day at my house and several other geekers will be joining in.
God speed Jack.

 

Jack, you and your family will be in our minds and in our prayers.

Death is the physical end for the person, but only the beginning for everyone else. Be with those you love, man.





Kodo:- You're a good sport and a great guy, Jim.

Jack, you and your family will be in my thoughts today,

God bless you

 

As Endi said, you and your family will be in my thoughts today.

 

My condolences Wraith. A sad time for your family.

 

Jack, I heard about your sister yesterday. I don't have the words to tell you how sorry I am for her, you, and your family. I know it doesn't help, but I do know that the pain does ease with time. You and your family are in my thoughts.

 

Wow, sounds like she was an amazing woman. I'm sure she'll be missed for a long time in her area, looks like she was involved, and contributing to everybody.
She must have given people a hell of a lot of good memories.
I'm very sorry for you and your family Wraith, will be thinking of your sister and you on Friday.

 

They say that we should live our lives in such a way that everybody says it's a shame that we're gone. Sounds like Deborah did just that. Quite a life, and quite a memory.

This week, and those that follow, will no doubt have difficult moments and pain. Cherish and share the good memories. The pain lessens in time, the memories remain.

God bless you all,
Gary

 

Wraith, I am so sorry to hear about your sisters death. After reading her life's contributions, her passing will leave a large void in many lives. For all the lives she has touched, she has left a part of her. Although you will feel her loss, take comfort in what she has left.

 

My sentiments echo Shivers, Jack, you are in our prayers today.
Susan
