Going to a funeral.

[TOM4CWB]

Just so sorry to hear of your sister's passing and in such a manner.

My condolences to you and your mother. Our frail humanity becomes so evident at times like this.

Dear Maiiee,

Our prayers and thoughts go out to you, and your family...

May Peace and fellowship bring understanding, wisdom and destiny...

Our lives are like a vapour, a light shining in the universe unbending...

Gods Love, his sacrifice, a promise of eternity unending

As you loved even the least of these, you loved me.

Mallee.
Official hoops are frustrating then add emotion. Sympathies.
Mine was just a first cousin of my Dad's. 86. Parkinson's for many years. But a short story if I may to cheer things up.
His Dad had died while he was quite young. Took over farm to support his Mom and never left till 65.
He worked for me a bit after that.
One day he showed me a newspaper clipping of his bride on her high school graduation day. Carried it in his wallet all those years. A real testimony to who he was. Something I'll never forget as I'm a big softie.

Sometimes it’s good to talk to people ya know but don’t know if ya get my drift.

But some of us bullshit to each other daily eh.

One of my lads came home from interstate on bereavement leave for two weeks so he’s here and coming with me on road trip today bit of company

As Sheepwheat said, “speechless”, my condolences. The loss of a family member in never easy, this situation would make it much more difficult.

Condolences to Mallee and BP

Dearest sister who would have never wished current events on me.

Condolences! Life is beautiful in what it can give
And cold and harsh in what it inevitably takes away
From all of us.

Mallee, you had a beautiful sister. Just to see her in that picture, hugging you….

Cherish each moment, every day, every occasion. We are locked up in isolation with our serious blood disorder, waiting for a stem cell transplant, unable to mingle in fear of any deadly infection, cold, Covid, whatever. Siblings are precious and the big Catholic families of yesteryear are a wonderful gene pool for us. Genetic testing has provided us with two out of five siblings turning out to be 100 percent match donors. Both donors flew back to Canada for the opportunity to be the one we need so desperately. Their stem cells will replace mine and hopefully my body will use them to build a new blood factory. 👍

The future of medicine appears to be in genetics to cure cancers, to replace defective organs. Someday they’ll just grow what we need, the genetic growers will make man new replacement parts. There is hope and that, we know as farmers, is the reason we go on.

Wishing you all the best, sdg. Your situation weighs heavily on my mind.

Sorry to hear of your illness and I agree the future in medicine will depend a lot on genetics. The current vaccines are evidence of that. The only barrier will be our ability to control and predict unintended consequences.

Sorry to hear SDG onwards and upwards.

Makes you realize there’s more to life than some of the BS that goes on in the world, superficial stuff really.

Police had to forcibly enter the property on Saturday and front door is now unlockable some low life has entered the property to say my blood was boiling is a understatement.

Cleanup continuing today but was allowed in had to wear a hazmat suit and special filtered breathing mask but managed to find the will late yesterday.
