Suddenly I felt very guilty.

I had shared the news about Corey Rudl.

Okay he was very rich and very famous.

But then I thought I should perhaps be paying tribute to a friend of mine aged 49 who died suddenly of a brain haemorrage. Few people knew him and he was nowhere in the same rich league as Mr Rudl but his wife, cats, friends and other family members will miss him dreadfully for his love of life, sense of humour and refusal to toe the establishment line!

God bless you, Jim! :-1

Sorry about your loss.

Loss of life is tragic and always impacts someone. I always thought greatness was determined by the number of people who attended your funeral. But have since learned that is not so.

JOHN8PIES,

So sorry for your lose

I know he will be so missed. Remember the good times, and share the memories.

As I say to everyone live each day like it was your last, rejoice in the moon, the sun, the stars.. Sit on the grass and watch the kids play. Tell everyone you love how much they mean to you.. Please don't sweat the small stuff, it doesn't matter. We only get to do this once make every second count.. :-4

Goodbye to you my trusted friend

WeÃ‚´ve known each other since we

Were nine or ten

Together weÃ‚´ve climbed hills and trees

Learned of love and abcÃ‚´s

Skinned our hearts and

Skinned our knees

Goodbye my friend itÃ‚´s hard to die

When all the birds are singing

In the sky

Now that spring is in the air

Pretty girls are everywhere

Think of me and iÃ‚´ll be there

we had joy we had fun we had

seasons in the sun

but the hills that we climbed were

just seasons out of time

goodbye papa please pray for me

i was the black sheep of the family

you tried to teach me right from wrong

too much wine and too much song

wonder how i got along

goodbye papa itÃ‚´s hard to die

when all the birds are singing in the sky

now that the spring is in the air

little children everywhere

when you see them iÃ‚´ll be there

we had joy we had fun we had

seasons in the sun

but the wine and the songs like the

seasons have all gone

we had joy we had fun we had

seasons in the sun

but the wine and the song like

the seasons have all gone

goodbye michelle my little one

you gave me love and helped

me find the sun

and every time that i was down

you would always come around

and get my feet back on

the ground

goodbye michelle itÃ‚´s hard to die

when all the birds are singing in

the sky

now that the spring is in the air

with the flowers everywhere

i wish that we could both be there

we had joy we had fun we had

seasons in the sun

but the hills that we climbed were

just seasons out of time

we had joy we had fun we had

seasons in the sun

but the wine and the song like the

seasons have all gone

we had joy we had fun we had

seasons in the sun

but the wine and the song like the

seasons have all gone

we had joy we had fun we had

seasons in the sun

but the wine and the song like the

seasons have all gone
