Would appreciate thoughts directed for the husband of a colleague of mine who is in very critical condition.

Thank you so much, Aleia and Sarai. There are those who would criticize us who frequent boards such as this: you don't have a life, you're addicted, friendships made there are not genuine, they can't be. Yet at times like this, and on the occasion of my sister-in-law's death, those who truly poured their hearts out, were sincerely concerned, were the people here. And again, I thank you all. jr

Why mocoloco, as I live and breath! Long time, no see. No, I would turn absolutely scarlet if I thought that was the inference drawn from this post.

Juan, as I said earlier, it is a blessing he is no longer suffering. Here's another cyber hug >Smile < and I hope you can get back to your ornery old self soon. @->-

My thoughts are with you and his family as you deal with your loss. I hope you can find a way to focus on how wonderful it was to have him in your life and to share great memories with each other.

Thank you all once again for your kind thoughts.

Juan, you and your friend and her family have my thoughts and sympathy in the loss of her husband.

I do wish there was something I could do to help rather than just type words.

I do not know if your friend's beliefs are the same as yours, but personally I found this information comforting, and she may as well: When Someone You Love Dies .

Thank you, B-man. Despite the fact you and I find each other at the antipodes as regards religion, I have always considered you a good friend and a good man. Ironically, his wife, like mine, is Catholic (same parish, even), while he, like I, had no belief. Maybe that's why we got along so well.

Clarebear's right -- as usual -- sounds like you were both lucky to have each other's friendship. Sorry, Juan, I know that you'll miss him.

So sorry to hear the sad news, Juan.

JR...I am so sorry for your friends loss. As Clare said, he was lucky to have you as a friend. Take care. (((((JR))))

Thank you very much ladies. Visitaion tonight; damn I hate those things.

03-08-05, 03:28 PM
Georgia85
At least you get to say a final farewell. A co-worker died March 2 and his funeral is tomorrow and I have just been notified that there will be no visitation/viewing. For me I need to see the body instead of thinking that the last time I saw someone I never knew it would be the last time.

Still, I know it will be a hard night for you. But you'll be strong for those around you.
