I'm sorry it took me so long to wade through all the new posts and make it here.

Have a safe trip, don't worry about what the family thinks, and say your goodbyes to your friend. I don't handle funerals well at all. Just remember your wonderful memories. I hope that when it's my time, someone says the wonderful things about me, that you said about him. :-4

How sad to lose a friend Pinky. :-1

sounds like a very talented man who led a full life.

I hope the Friday is'nt too painful. :-4

It's hard to say goodbye to friends ,but it needs to be done.

Try & remember all the good times Pinky,that helps the most.

Funerals can be pretty crap. Sorry that you've got to go to one Pinky, I hope you get the chance to raise a glass to your mate.

Hi Pinky, only seen this thread today hun, sorry to hear your mate George passed away, however sounds like he lived life to the max and enriched other peoples lifes on the way so although dead, he definately wont be forgotten.

Hope Friday isnt too painful for you hun

Take Care and Best Wishes

I notice most people seem to be glued to the car-crash TV type threads. Well, in short, I'll remember that and give you the same time of day.

Little wonder people bother coming back.


I've just told someone who gave a damn :yh_giggle

Luv ya Pinky :-4

He was your friend, and you should be allowed to say goodbye to him. Ignore what the people who have judged you wrongly say, and do what is in your heart. :-4

I'm really sorry to hear about your friend Pinky. I hope that the service goes well on Friday and that he is remembered for all the good times that he had with everyone he knew.



My condelences to his family and friends at a sad time like this! :-4:yh_pray

As has been said Pinky he was a good friend pay your respect and be gone. I can't do funerals period, just creeps me out, always has since I was a kid. I will show up sign the guest book then leave just can't do the whole service, graveside thing. I want to remember people as they were alive, but that's just me.

It all went ok, the few people I'd met actually seemed glad I'd come, which was nice. Everyone sang a song that he'd written and the speeches really brought a lump to my throat...things like memories of bike races down absurdly steep hills whilst hammered on cider...all the things he'd told me about. It all caused a bit of a blubber moment!

Still, If I've learnt anything, it's that enthusiasm for life, fun and laughter are infectious and that they're the best tonic for any ailment. I'll carry on remembering that.


It makes you realise we only one shot at this life - lets make the most of it :-4

I'm glad things went okay Pinky.
