Paul 55,114 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 John is an Australian friend of mine, although we don't keep in close contact, whom I have known for many years. In fact, some "old timers" on this forum may even know John. Anyway, last Monday, August 16th, 2010, his wife passed away. She had been sick for some time, but now is at peace. John will bring her body back to the Philippines to be buried here on her native soil. I originally met John here in Cebu, many years ago. We originally met through a Philippines Yahoo Group. He mentioned something to me recently, about a gift he gave me a long time ago. It was a blue t-shirt from his fire department, one I still wear today. I think of my friend every time I wear that t-shirt. He is a good man, one I feel much sorrow for right now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

SkyMan 23,717 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I can't imagine your loss, John. If my wife were to pass before me, well, I just can't imagine that. I pray for you and your families. Link to post Share on other sites
