Many of you know our brother, the Popular Halfwit. His absoultly saintly wife died peacefully in his arms yesterday afternoon after a long and terrible illness. I know you all will send him you best thoughts and prayers. I'm here with him for a little longer, and will remind him of all of your love and commradery.
All the best
Larry (InOBU)

I first met Ralph and Sally last summer; they kindly invited me and my travelling partner into their home when we were in their area. My partner and I were having a silly tiff and Ralph tried good-naturedly to help us through it. I learned quickly this is who he is: always thinking of others above himself.

I met Sally just after she had already been battling her illness for some time; and just before she was to find out whether her cancer had come back...despite her fatigue and pain she was very gracious and kind.

I was stricken to the heart when I learned she had not bested it after all. She seemed such a strong and joyful woman, and her light shone all the brighter for her calm religious faith (which we had a lovely converstion about). I am sure this faith gave her comfort during this time.

My prayers and condolences go to you, Ralph and your family. You and Sally were a beautiful couple and I cannot even imagine how much you will miss her. I only spent 24 hours in her company and I know it changed me...

I prayed and worked magic for Sally to get better over the last few months; now I will pray for her passing. May God bless her.

Just got your email, Larry, and the photo of Sally shows a beautiful, vibrant woman with much promise of those attributes which Peg just described and found in her. Thank for being there for the both of them. You are a good friend.

PH, my deepest condolences on your loss. My energy and thoughts and prayers for her passing and for you are on their way.

When either of you feel up to it, you may want to read the song and poem I posted in "Memoriam for Many."

I've just been talking on the phone to Larry - he said he's having trouble getting online, but asked me to pass on thanks to everyone for the messages and the support. He'll be back in New York Tuesday or so.

My dear dear muddy friends, and our Kayotic pal in Wiltshre, and of course the great dear Popular Halfwit...
I am back in the states, and wanted you all to know that your kind thoughts are apreciated, and I expect our dear Halfwit will soon be pushed kicking and screaming in front of a microphone to bring his wonderful music to you all - So, Kayossinwhitsire, get the big canvass bag ready, and soon we will kidnap PH off to the warmth of Hearthside Music Cooperative.
All the best to all
