Hello Everyone,
I want you all to know that Jim sends his thanks to each and everyone of you for your kindness and prayers on the passing of his beloved Mum. He is deeply touched that my journals readers care so much and he is very, very grateful to you all.
Jim is coping really well though it`s early days yet. Yesterday he felt really bad but today he is much brighter and I know it will be that way for some time to come. Danny has been a tower of strength both in a an emotional way and physically. Today the two of them spent all day putting up fence panels to replace the ones that were destroyed by the gales of the other week. I`m really proud of my son for all he`s done despite having to cope with his own grief. This evening I noticed a tile missing from the roof which wouldn`t have been a problem as we have a couple of spares. It`s in a difficult position though so we`ll have to call someone in to do it...sigh.
Jim found this poignant cartoon a couple of years ago. It`s very appropriate now don`t you think?
Anyway, you`ll understand that I don`t have much else to say at the moment. I`ll try to pop in from time to time during the week. Please give us a thought on Wednesday afternnoon at 1.30pm when we`ll be attending the funeral. Thank you and Bless you all.

I'm glad Jim is coping well and Danny too. I'll think of you all on Wednesday. Repairing the storm damage probably helped to take their minds off their sadness. Jeannette xx http://journals.aol.co.uk/jlocorriere05/Welcometomytravels/
Glad Jim is taking today a little better, each day I HOPE will be better for all DIANE
I wish Jim and yourself all strength in the days and weeks to come, Sandra.
All of you are in my thoughts and prayers. Sometimes the funeral is the hardest because then it sinks in that our loved one is really gone. After that...it slowly gets easier. However, my folks have been gone since 1987 & 1990 and I pass by the cemetary at least twice a week...I always look in, to the direction of where they are resting. And it makes me sad, because I miss them. Please give Jim extra hugs...and take care. Linda in Washington
Once again I just would like you to know I'm thinking of you all.
The cartoon was indeed appropriate.
Glad you have your son there. Will be sending out prayers.
Hugs to you all, Barb

My Dad passed away in October last year so my thoughts and prayers are with you as I understand how you must all be feeling. Take care. Love Phyllis.x.
(Hugs) Oh sweetie I wish I could be there to help all of your family, at least to be able to give you all hugs as often and as many as you needed. I'm keeping you and your family in my prayers on the smoke. Keep this in mind its from a fav. song of mine "It Can't rain all the time". I'm here if you need to talk or even just rant!! Love Ya Indigo
Again Im just so sorry.

I hope you'll feel our thoughts and prayers surrounding you when you are at the services. Our love goes with you.
Hugs, Kathy
Sandra, I will certainly keep you and yours in my thoughts and prayers, especially on Wednesday afternoon. No matter how we think we prepare for these things, the permanence of death, really upsets us, doesn't it? I'm one of those freaky people, though, that thinks people just go to another dimension, that the soul survives. Be gentle with yourselves this week.
Hugs,
Susie

Wishing your family the best Sandra. mark
All of you have been so much in my thoughts Sandra. I am glad you are all bearing up and that Danny has been so good. The cartoon is very poignant and so apt, you could not have chosen better. Hope your orchids are doing well, mine just wilted on me. I sprayed it every day with rain water, kept it just moist and in a bright place with even temperature but one by one the leaves fell off and alas it is no more. Too expensive to buy another so it was nice while it lasted. Have you have a nice weekend
