Madame Defarge 21 Posted November 28, 2008 I'm sorry for your loss, Godot. Even though I don't actually know you, I strongly suspect you added a lot of fun and mischief to his life on this earth, so please remember that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Godot 149 Posted November 28, 2008 I'm very sorry to hear about your loss, Godot. Thanks again. Anyway we gave him a decent send off today. The church was packed. My only quibble was that there was no booze. I know he would have wanted booze there. I hope that doesn't happen when my time comes. I'm going to make plans.

Lard Bazaar 3,799 Posted November 28, 2008 I'm going to a funeral on Monday, chap that I used to get about in a little gang with when we were teenagers, dropped dead last week. Just goes to show, you never know what's round the corner, and you should take advantage of opportunities, and make sure you are happy and fulfilled while you have the chance. Cheers, Chris 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lard Bazaar 3,799 Posted May 31, 2009 I don't usually do slush, but give your kids an extra hug today. My friend's 18 year old son was killed in the early hours of today, lost control of his car on a bend. There but for the Grace of God go any of us. Life can be turned upside-down in an instant. Make the most of it while you can. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Make the most of it while you can. Went to a similar funeral about ten years back, with the added twist that the driver was there because we were burying his passenger, who had been presented with two options of going out on the same night and had opted out of a sense of loyalty for the one that ended up with him being killed.

Captain Oates 21 Posted July 18, 2009 I spent an hour or so this afternoon digging a very deep hole in the garden in which to bury our little cat. He was only 14 months old but was no longer able to eat or drink as a result of multiple cancers caused by the feline AIDS virus which he had had probably since his birth. Following a (false) negative test result a month ago, today's diagnosis and sad ending was rather a shock. He was a gentle trusting friend and is very much missed by the humans in the family. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Oates 21 Posted July 22, 2009 RIP Grizou Thank you for your kind thoughts, everyone. SC, you are quite right about cats and holes! Our neighbour's small kitten thought it was a great "Wall of Death" game, and who needs a motorbike when you can run like lightning! We were forced to finish the excavation using miniature hand tools in order not to chop him in half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuber Mirum 125 Posted July 22, 2009 Not a family member or even a close friend but a valued colleague and a really lovely guy who didn't deserve the years of suffering from more kinds of cancer than I knew there were. Frank. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rotten Ali 600 Posted October 12, 2009 Wondering where to put this post but I guess here is as good as any. My brother's ex-next door neighbour died in the last few days - not unremarkable you may say, but Mr Jim the Gas Man was told he had only about six weeks to live after a diagnosis of a fast growing lung tumour. He died only 6 days after being told this bad news! - and at only 63 years of age, what a thing? We look at all these ill famous people but how many die within 6 days? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monoclinic 39 Posted October 12, 2009 We look at all these ill famous people but how many die within 6 days? I think that all depends on whether the curse of death Dr. DDT has highlighted their plight or not. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
