Thinking of you Tigger, my favourite bouncy person.

I'm so pleased that Don had a chance to say what he needed and he managed to see everyone. That is a rare and beautiful thing. Definitely something to remember with joy.

If you need anything or just a chat, i'm always around so feel free
Lots of love

You are right Tigger, your brother will find it easier than you, be brave, be with him and smile at his courage, I hope I have it when my time comes.

I am not overly religious but have asked for some upstairs support at this time.

Fondest Wishes Tigger

Thankyou all.

Don will be pleased that we have gained an overall view. However, we will have also agreed that substantial changes materialise in moments.

Hi peeps. I thought you would want to know that my brother died peacefully at home on Friday evening, December 7th.

As only he could do, he invited all his friends to visit him on Thursday evening and Friday morning. Those who couldn't get there called him and spoke on the 'phone.

People drove the length and breadth of the country to be there and one chap got off a plane to Switzerland to go back to Cumbria to collect his wife and get to Derbyshire in time. I was completely taken aback.

Don only stopped communicating with us 15 minutes before he died. His wife was one side of him, together with her 2 sisters. Lyndon and I were at his other side and his dog was lying beside him on the bed.

We now have to work through his lists of instructions.

Thankyou all for your support and comfort. I hope I can repay my debt to you all sometime in the future.

M/Tigger.

Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Tigger and Lyndon at this time.

Your brother sounds like an inspiration to us all and we could all learn from his dignity and strength of character. The manner of his passing sounded very peaceful and dignified.

If you need anything just contact me and i'll do whatever I can.

Great big hugs and cuddles to you both.
Lots of love

Don't go anywhere near the Crem at Derby next Tuesday, December 18th., as at least 500 folks will be at my brother's funeral.

I'll be lucky to get a dozen at mine!
