Sorry to hear that Leon.
Be strong for Alice, but that does not mean that you can't grieve as well.

Regards Marty

Alice and I would like to thank you all for your kind thoughts at a time when one dose not quite know what day it is and which to turn.

She (Gwen) was just such a wonderful old lady and had a heart of gold, we will really miss her.

Many thanks from Alice and Myself.

My Deepest sympathies to you and your wife.

Suffering a severe loss can be a very strange time. At one point time seems to speed up, where there just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day. Then later the days seem to drag.

I keep being told that it will all get better with time! I can only pass on these thoughts to you, your wife and Family.

Take care.

Darren

Leon, I'm sorry to hear of your loss.

My dad passed away in January and I have myself found that time really does ease the pain you and your family must be feeling.

All the best.

Leon, Like Andrew, I lost my father recently, 30/03, your last day at snake valley camp.

Oddly enough, he got very sick the day I packed my brand new trailer up with all the gear for Snake Valley , November Camp.

I was lucky enough to spend nearly everyday of the last 6 or 7 weeks of his life with him. I will in time, enjoy those times; the giggles, sly comments and the tender moments.

It's funny, how it takes times such as these to really express how one feels (all of our lovely lady members will disagree), Most Women seem to have all that squared away.

Enjoy your memories, let each day come and hopefully we might catch up in November where I think I need some intensive imaging lessons.

Take care, and yes, those Family discussions do help!

Darren
