We lost someone special on Monday.
He was a friend and colleague of mine for the past seventeen years and our extended families have grown close over that span of time.
Two years ago he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He and his family put up a brave battle and I have grown to admire their tanicity, closeness and ability to live every day to its fullest.
His entire family continues to be an inspiration for me.
Erwin, we miss you.

How sad for you and all his family, Dale. Words are never really adequate in this situation, but my thoughts and sympathy are with you. xxx
ReplyDeleteMy deepest condolences, Dale. Losing someone close is hard.

Thank you Val and Anne-Marie - no words, but prayers always help.
ReplyDeleteDoes it always come in threes?
First Jane's mysterious passing three weeks ago, then the motorcyle accident we came upon, and now dear Erwin.
We will all be attending a memorial service for Erwin tomorrow afternoon at Pynelogs Cultural Centre in town.
Oh, and thank you, too, Grace. I was busy commenting when you commented.
ReplyDeleteYou are all such wonderful people and I am so happy to know you!
