Um.... I might not be on much for a while


My Pop (grandfather) passed away during the night.

He went in his sleep thankfully and was very peaceful, but right now I need to be with my family so I probably wont be on much, if at all for awhile.

I'll probably be popping in every now and then over the next week or so because my pop wouldn't want me to stop my life and mope around all depressed.

Anyway, I see yahs when I see yahs

Just come back when your ready Rive, we'll be waiting for ya. Sincerest condolances man.

Aye, as Sparky said, take your time, no rush to get back here, and my deepest condolenses as well.

Aww kitten, my apologies for your loss.

We'll keep your seat warm for you, Riv.. as long as it takes.

Sorry to here about that, well just take as much time as you need with things, we'll still be here when you come back.

Aww, Riven, i'm sorry to hear that. Take comfort in the fact that he died peacefully and in his sleep. The best way to go. Take your time, mourn and think of all the times you had together.

We'll all be here whenever you decide to return.

You and your family have my best wishes. B)

My condolences to you and your family, Riven. I recently lost a close family member as well as a close call with my last remaining living grandmother.

Know that we all here at the lair are with you and cherish the memories of your grandfather, for they will carry you through this time of mourning.

Oh man... You have my condolences to you and your family. Take your time and return you feel that you are ready to return.

:( :( :( I'm sorry Riven. I hope you get back here soon.

"And God looked upon the fallen and they grieved him to his heart; For he was sad his fellow man had died."

Well its done

Today we had my pops funeral. It was a beautiful service, had Amazing Grace as the "Entrance" music sung by the guy that played the main character in that british comdey called Some Mothers Do Have them and the song we picked out for the end was a favorite of my pops, sung by Slim Dusty, called Looking Forward, Looking Back and that was really good to.

He was born Octuber 25th 1941, and died January 18th of 2007, he was 65 years old.

Church was packed, had people standing outside even because there simply wasn't any more room at the church and the holiday park where he and my nan live had there flags half masked (I think thats the proper spelling?) which they do for all their residence that have passed on.

We've spent most of the day chatting with family and old friends of the family about the good times, joking and laughing. I think it was a send off my pop would be proud of.



I'm hoping things will return to normal soon now that the funeral is over and done with, we just have to wait for his ashes now

Here's to Riven's granddad. :beers:

Aye, here here :beers:

I'm very sorry, Riv-Man. My most heart felt wishes for you and your family. Stay strong and toast to a king of a man :beers:

Thanks guys

You know we'd do anything to make ya feel better.
