My best wishes as well. I'am still hoping to meet little John at Erins Pub some night so I can buy him a pint and have a yarn with him about music and things.

Get well soon little John Cameron

This is very sad news indeed. I've always enjoyed Little John's writing. The stories on his website are such a pleasure to read. Does anyone have his website address? I've lost my bookmark.

Peace and love to ljc.

I am so very sorry to hear this sad, sad, news. My condolences to you, his family, and all his friends. He felt like a friend to me through his messages here.

Frank, he can only be lost to you if you allow it, my friend. Immortality comes in the thoughts of those that love us. Little John is a lucky man. He will get away from us soon, or so it appears. But if a person leaves this world with people who love him/her, then they live on here in our hearts. Little John Cameron infected this place with his humor, and his gregarious sense of self. This is in the best of the traditions of the Celt. We shall always sing his song here, and as long as we do, then he will not have left, but rather be standing just the other side of the shade waiting for the time when the veil is the thinnest. And surely he will be wearing a kilt...................LOL.

I hate to see him get away, but to those that love him, we are here to help you share your grief. But then we must listen for his voice in others, and carry his song in our hearts.

All the best,

Mick

Little John:

Don't get tangled up on your way. Go with peace, stay awake, and choose your destination well.

Immortality...........When we lose a friend, my nephew suggested that it's like having a hole in your heart. When I thought for a moment about it I told him he was wrong. Good friends, good people, can only fill your heart with the memories of the wonderful things you have shared and they have left for you to share with others. That's really all that our hearts are made of.......the memories of those we know and those we have known.

Little John, you are always in my heart. Go in peace...

And Frank....Please pass on our feelings to his family if you can. We'd appreciate it.

I will echo what Mick and Amos have said. Good traveling to a friend whom I never actually met in this life, but whom I seem to know pretty well in any case. I'll see you on the other side of the Great Divide one of these days, Little John, don't know when, but it'll be good when I do.

death does not exist...the soul always resides in the hearts of those that loved them...of those left behind...and in the photographs we hand down to our young...and in the words that immortalise them...

Awwww, shit!
Another good one taken from us.
Well, let's not be selfish about this.
Let those on the other side enjoy Little John as much as we have.
Mick, Amos and Amergin said it perfectly for us all.
My sincerest condolences to his family.

It is funny, how you never meet someone in person and yet consider them a friend.

I enjoyed his stories very much, and all the links he used to send me. One of my favorite things was the pictures of Newfoundland in the snow - I believe several others of you got this as well.

Well, I can't find anything clever to say. I was very fond of him and am sad for him to go.

Yeah, the Newfie cam. I think he was trying to give away everything he had, in all those messages and posts.

He's not gone, yet!
Please do not give up on him, yet.
Please see the other thread &
continue to send him your good thoughts.

Thanks,
