Tomorrow is her anniversary & although I never met her, I do think she would have been mortified by what is going on tonight. Please let us show some respect to her family, & to Dave who has lost his brother, & countless others who may not wish to mention their problems. :0) Joan

Well said Joan. The most sensible thing I have seen written tonight!! :o)

I know not what is going on. We have a 4-year-old and an 8-year-old staying here, so have not been on site. However, I now pay respect to Gaynor, Gaynor's family, Dave's brother and family, and all those who have loved and lost.

Dear Joan, a voice of sanity, I'm handing out hugs tonight, please have one((((((((((((((((((((((((((*u*)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) from me...................................................

Have to agree with others. Well said.

I totally agree with you even though ive responded to such vile postings today I am thinking of dave and gaynors family at this time, also others who have lost someone. ive posted this and will do so again Coming Home To my dearest friends and family, some things I'd like to say. But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness; Here is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, 'I WELCOME YOU', 'It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone. As for your friends and family, They'll be here later on. I need you here so badly, you're a part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.' God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do, and foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And I will be beside you every day and week and year and when you're sad I'm standing there to wipe away the tear. And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight, God and I are closest to you.. in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years, because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain. I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned. If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er, I'm closer to you now than I ever was before. And to my very many friends trust God knows what is best, I'm still not far away from you I'm just beyond the crest. There are rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; But together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too; That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you. If you can help somebody who's in sorrow, hurt, and pain, then you can say to God at night... 'My day was not in vain'. And now I am contented.... that my life was claimed worthwhile. Know as I passed along the way I made somebody smile. So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low, Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go. When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind, I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind. And when you feel the gentle breeze or the wind upon your face, that's me giving you a great big hug or just a soft embrace. And when it's time for you to go .... from that body to be free, Remember you're not going.. .. you're coming here to me. And I will always love you from that land way up above. Will be in touch again soon. P.S. 'God sends His Love' ~Author~ Ruth Ann Mahaffey

Totally agree with you Joan, I said the same thing on a thread this afternoon. M.

Well said Joan....I am sickened that threads like Dave and Lady Libs have sunk into oblivion today. For all of the people with loss and ache in their hearts......we may laugh here....we may cry....we must not leave those who need us to be alone...its not right......dignified or caring.....which is what we are about here.

exactly what I said on the thread too Joan. People are grieving for all sorts of reasons, some come on here for some light hearted conversation. My thoughts go out to everyone grieving and suffering sad losses. I will light a candle at mass tomorrow for all my gr friends. catherine x

Well done Joan.... I too would like to add my note of condolence to Dave on the very sad loss of his much loved Brother.. May He Rest In Peace... Also remembering Gaynor on her first Anniversary. A candle I will light for each of them tomorrow Good Friday when I go to Church. Peace and Love to all of my lovely friends that I have made here on GR. Love Maisie
