12 Sep 04 - 11:40 AM (#1270007) Subject: Obit: My Dad From: SINSULL The cantankerous, lovable, selfish, generous set of contradictions died sometime this morning. At 91 he still lived alone. His last meal to my knowledge was liverwurst and Saltines. Music is the best gift he gave me after life. I believe he is at peace. Mary |

Because we cannot see it we are no longer sure of its whereabouts. We will one day sail beyond the horizon ourselves and who knows what sights we may see then! Until that time remember that even though we cannot see the ship, it is still there. God bless Dave |

12 Sep 04 - 04:00 PM (#1270244) Subject: RE: Obit: My Dad From: catspaw49 Sorry to hear and of course we are thinking of you....but then again, we think of you a lot. I read your first sentence and then had to read the title again to be sure I wasn't the one who had died. When I read about the liverwurst and crackers, I knew he was my kind of guy. Karen and I send you our best thoughts and sincerest sympathies. 91 years amounts to a lot of memories, some good and some bad, but that is the way things are supposed to work. Life amounts to much more than putting on a happy face. Textures and contours no matter the type add the real beauty. And, uh, say..... if there is any liverwurst left, send it my way, huh? Pat |

I hope my dad will still be at home (so far he is) and have had his favourite meal of an onion sandwich or peanut butter. At 87, still eating pb on white bread! Your dad must've been one heck of an interesting person to have raised a daughter like you. I'd tell him THANKS for YOU and best wishes on the next leg of his journey.

13 Sep 04 - 06:33 PM (#1271483) Subject: RE: Obit: My Dad From: Tannywheeler Here's a necessary phrase for you: "Fairly well, considering." This is your stock answer to all -- the uncaring polites, as well as the loving friends -- who ask how it's going. The true friends may ask "Considering what", and you can tell them if you're having a bad time, 'cause they'll be looking for a way to help you cope. Keep extra tissue. You'll be shocked at the minuteness of what can start the waterworks. You will have already steeled yourself to the big stuff. The only way out is through, but it really becomes a permanent part of your path. He has never not existed for you; physiologically you don't know a world without him. Ask your real friends (you seem to have many) to keep their care-antennae out towards you as you go through this, 'cause shock can rear its head at times in peculiar ways. Voice of experience. Eat healthy, get some exercise. Accept help from a few of thoe friends to go through effects. Don't spend too much time alone during this. For your own protection. God bless and comfort you (comfort from 2 Latin words indicating "with strength"). Tw |
