You describe him with such heart - it's obvious that he was a special person in your life. {{{{Trish}}}}Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02627589955129005876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748000.post-52562297648947728442008-03-02T16:29:00.000-05:002008-03-02T16:29:00.000-05:00My sympathy to you.

The loss of loved ones burns into us, yet we carry memories of them always.<BR/>God bless.Poochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02574939007869525677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748000.post-74891566222279782712008-03-01T01:02:00.000-05:002008-03-01T01:02:00.000-05:00Wow, Trish. There is no good way to say goodbye. I...Wow, Trish. There is no good way to say goodbye. It hurts, and it should. Tears are a tribute, if and when they fall. With me, they fall and they continue to sneak up on me at odd times long after others expect they might.<BR/><BR/>I lost a friend last week, too. Age 52. We worked together twice, she was my supervisor for about 4 years. A good person. A steady, dependable person who could also laugh.<BR/><BR/>She was a vegetarian and taught me so much about good food. She loaned me a cookbook once about root vegetables and told me how important they are for mineral intake for vegetarians who pay attention. I bought a copy of that book and am devouring it these days of no grains. <BR/><BR/>She introduced me to my friend Robert who was killed almost a year ago. I knew them both for 20 years. I understand, when a pair of folks who belong together, both leave our lives, it's a bit like bookends... where we can't open up the books in between them any more.<BR/><BR/>So sorry. Do what you can to be gentle with yourself.ColorJoy LynnHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03238476918178854398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748000.post-86170473492548622522008-02-29T20:46:00.000-05:002008-02-29T20:46:00.000-05:00What a beautiful tribute.

What a wonderful photo your father took. Joe's face reflects such character. I'm sorry for your loss, my friend.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04062036594496944872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748000.post-78914484653561731622008-02-29T19:41:00.000-05:002008-02-29T19:41:00.000-05:00Oh, Trish, I'm so sorry for your loss.
