God had some sort of plan for him and part of it was for him to have you in his life in some way. He was fortunate.<BR/><BR/>By the way - you mentioned listening to holiday music - are you familiar with Handels Judeus Maccabeus? A great recording is by the English Chamber Orchestra - if you like Handel's Messiah you'll like this one. My cantor did a lovely concert of Judas Maccabeus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6059095776066394557.post-45454383021183258512007-12-14T11:47:00.000-07:002007-12-14T11:47:00.000-07:00That is young.

How very sad :( It sounds like he left behind many people who cared about him.<BR/><BR/>The ripple is so appropriate.Amiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05583971319806873447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6059095776066394557.post-76343549704656390252007-12-14T10:39:00.000-07:002007-12-14T10:39:00.000-07:00I think it does hit harder when it's a contemporar...I think it does hit harder when it's a contemporary.

He has also touched all your reader's lives. What a lovely way to honor his time on this earth.<BR/><BR/>Very sad indeed.Frankiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02443594220588498332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6059095776066394557.post-58616121833969410372007-12-13T19:05:00.000-07:002007-12-13T19:05:00.000-07:00I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your friend...I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. I have been thinking lately about three women I knew who each died very suddenly, and I have memories of each one that are very similar to yours. Maybe I'll be able to write about it sometime as well.Mama Squirrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941211100125966917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6059095776066394557.post-13196970547642691342007-12-13T18:21:00.000-07:002007-12-13T18:21:00.000-07:00You know this reminds me of when I was little and ...You know this reminds me of when I was little and I would hear my parents talking about such and such a person who had died unexpectedly at the age of....whatever. They were so obviously shocked by the news, but I would always think [as a child] that 30, 40 or 50 was ancient anyway. <BR/><BR/>How our viewpoints change, and suddenly we are those same adults in a state of shock.<BR/>Best wishesMaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05828186178060722812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6059095776066394557.post-53189359297963387362007-12-13T15:47:00.000-07:002007-12-13T15:47:00.000-07:00I'm very sorry for your loss.I'm very sorry for your loss.Melorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285358490646455774noreply@blogger.com
