As Liz and I know all to wel...Dear Jim and Pauline<br /><br />As Liz and I know all to well, death is never easy to comprehend. Even when an elderly person dies after a full life it’s sad, but it’s even more poignant when a person with so much to live for passes away.<br /><br />From what we have heard from you, Robert bore his condition bravely and even with no little humour. This says much of the kind of man he was, and I am sure you will remember with fondness the good times you shared when the initial pain of parting starts to fade.<br /><br />Before she died our good friend Shirley left a message to be read at her funeral. She stressed that we were to “live our lives to the full” and I am sure that’s what Robert wants for you as well.<br /><br />Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Pauline, and with Robert’s wife and children in the difficult days ahead.<br /><br />All our love<br /><br />Mike & LizMike Funninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18188627470545933750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954593342490381212.post-19228255556097209582012-01-22T20:16:37.677+01:002012-01-22T20:16:37.677+01:00Dear Jim and Pauline
We are so sorry to hear that...Dear Jim and Pauline<br /><br />We are so sorry to hear that your brother has lost his fight against such a terrible illness. <br /><br />Losing someone you love and hold dear is the greatest of all tragedies and nothing any of us can say will take away the pain or give you answers. But please know that we are thinking of you and wishing you well. <br /><br />Your fond memories of Robert will never fade, but the pain will - in time. Just try to hold on in there.. <br /><br />With our love and deepest sympathy, Colin and ElizabethColin and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15990185210945021818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954593342490381212.post-43784396911079106072012-01-22T17:20:51.583+01:002012-01-22T17:20:51.583+01:00Jim and Pauline,
We've never met, other than ...Jim and Pauline,<br /><br />We've never met, other than through the blog, but I would like you to know that our thoughts are with you at this very sad time.<br /><br /> Your pain at the loss of Robert will be overwhelming, and it is natural that you should ask questions. Sadly these are natural questions to which there aren't any answers.<br /><br />I'm not religious and neither do I have any particular faith, but I trust that given time your anger and bewilderment will give way to the treasured memories of the man he was, the times you spent together. <br /><br /><br />Life isn't always just or fair and I'm sure you will all miss Robert terribly. <br /><br />With our deepest sympathy,<br /><br />Gaynor and TimGaynorBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971753467966206018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954593342490381212.post-21784305642539499872012-01-22T13:24:22.908+01:002012-01-22T13:24:22.908+01:00Jim, although we knew it was going to happen soon,...Jim, although we knew it was going to happen soon, I am so sorry to read this.<br /><br />There are no greater tragedies and heartaches than losing someone so close and so dear. Sadly, there are no answers to your questions, I think. <br /><br />I just want you to know that we are thinking of you and wish there was something to say that would help but it's hard to know what to say, except how sad we are to hear the news.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.com
