bad news from my site ......... (Page 1 of 2)

Geko, I'm so sorry to hear that you have lost your friend; may your memories of Willy bring you comfort.  It's cool that you shared Joe's music with him, and now it will help you through the tough times that will follow.

Geko, I'm very sorry for your loss.  My thoughts and prayers go out to you, your family and Willy's family.

God Bless!

Dear Geko, I'm so sorry you lost your buddy. It's never easy! Hope his death was peaceful. He will always be with you and will no doubt smile down on you. Tell his stories and have a laugh. "Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper the sorrow, the more joy you can contain..." Kahlil Gibran "The Prophet" Cathy

Geko,

Schade dein Freund so und wahrscheinlich sehr jung zu verlieren, Krebs ist wirklich scheisse. Ich hoffe er hat wenigstens nicht zuviel gelitten und du viel, viel Staerke und Kraft in dieser schweren Zeit,auch fuer Familje , Freunde und Bekannten von Willy.
I'm sure all Joe fans think the same. I know from my own experience that you can find a lot of comfort in music.
I lost my parets and my sister from cancer and it's hard, specially having 2 wonderful children and they never saw them, makes me still cry sometimes.

When they died I played one song:

Thin Lizzy- Still in love with you    from CD Live and dangerous.
Maybe stupid but it's their song from that moment on and it helps me through the bad moments.

I will try make a CD for you and Willy with music that helped me.

I really feel very sorry for you, put on Thin lizzy now and think of all the good people that passed away. I certainly will cry again, but that's o.k.

I believe that if you don't cry , it says something about yourself and the relationship you had with the person that passed away.

See you in October.

A big hug,

Andre Wittebroek.

Geko,

I share your pain my friend.  I had a professor/friend here at Clarkson that I was on very good terms with who passed away last Friday from cancer as well.  A very energetic and happy person, but also a brilliant scientist.  I'm deeply sorry for the loss of your friend, but I feel the best (at least what I did) is to pour a beer, raise you glass up in honor, cherish the memories...and always try to live your life as full as you can!  Cheers mate!

MY CONDOLENCES
LOST MY FATHER DUE TO CANCER.
KNOW THE FEELINGS TOO WELL.

My heart beats the rough rhythm of pain and sorrow today also Geko. I lost my first cousin, the sister of my first cousin I lost in 2003, both only in their forties, last Thursday.  I am in Orlando, and it is not magical today (grieving with family), otherwise I could bring them back.  Fortunately I am grateful for the memories I CAN bring back, even if they invoke tears...I always thnk of my Grandfather when I hear Asking Aound For You, epsecially due to the playing cards reference.  He was the greatest poker player & could of put many of these poker "superstars" to the curb...
he's been gone 34 years and I still miss him terribly.  Up to the time he died, I would never cry about anything.  Now it's weird not to cry over anything....Dog the Bounty Hunter episodes...let's stop there. Good blues, rock, soul,, even country rap & classical, more than anything else music pulls me back into happiness. A close second is a good laugh.  Anyone in need of happiness today-I pray it comes your way.  I'll start with prayers for your friends' family, friends, and especially you Geko.

Rock On & Keep the Faith,
Rocket

P.S.-I just put on CCR-Down On the Corner (Willy & the Poor Boys), Stevie Ray Vaughn-Willy the Wimp (hope your Willy's coffin isn't a Cadillac), and even The Sweet-Little Willy

Geko my thoughts are with you and also with you Rocket.
Losing someone you love is hard , cherish the memories they help you during sad periods.
