a nice trip; some bad news

[jawnbc]

Our travels to London, Andorra and Barcelona had a few downs, but many more ups. But late Sunday night I found out my beloved aunt Brenda had died. So we came back to Vancouver a day early (today) and I’m booked to NYC tomorrow afternoon.

Wake Wednesday, funeral Friday, back to Vancouver to start new job (a day late) Friday morning.

Oh John. What a difficult piece of news. The wonderful things you've written about your Aunt Brenda have been on my mind in the last days.

I'm so sorry to hear about Brenda's death. The piece you wrote about her a year or so ago was so memorable, you established an immediate fondness for her in this community. May she rest in peace.

I'm so sorry, John.

I saw this quote on your page: "If the measure of the man is the love in his life, I am truly blessed."

From what you've told us, Brenda certainly was blessed. I hope you are consoled by that now.

I am sorry to hear about your Aunt Brenda.
With the amount you fly they should just give you free tickets for life or something.

I'm sorry to hear about your aunt, too. And Barcelona is nice...someday I'll see more of it when I'm not coming down with pneumonia.

Our condolences, John. I really connect with your relationship with Brenda--my Aunt Helen was developmentally disabled, and she was just such a sweet and gentle soul. She passed away several years ago, and I still think of her often.

Peace be with you and your family.

I am truly sorry to hear that, the love and affection you felt for her rang clear in your posts about her.

my condolances. I only read one post about Brenda but it sounds like she was very special and that the two of you had a very special connection. Her effect in your life will continue to effect the world through you.

apropos of nothing.

Awhile back you called me on some bullshit and I contemplated it for awhile and you were right and I want to thank you for calling that to my attention. Sometimes I need to be smacked about in the proverbial sense.
