Thank you Liz for sending a note to Michael and his family.

I was concerned that nobody had a way (other than via GR) to connect with him.


At least now they will all know that they are in our thoughts.

Thanks all, it's awful when you don't know what's happened to a friend in dire straits - all sorts of reasons why Michael isn't posting now but I had thought he would have given his son details so he could keep us up to date. I knew Dutch had said she had sent a card to him a while back so during a chat with her yesterday a.m, I asked her for the address. You won't believe how long it took her to sort through her bits of paper etc bless her, thought I was the only one who kept snippets of paper with info on lol

I thought whatever the situation Michael and/or his family would like to know how much we thought about him and them.

It's a coincidence that Michael has the same surname, an unusual one, that my next door neighbour has but I did ask him a while back if they were related and he said no. I got the surname from a pm Michael sent me but had forgotten it till Dutch mentioned it.

Will let you all know if I hear anything.

Still thinking positive thoughts for Michael and the family

That was a nice thought. Difficult to know what to do when he had been regularly calling in on the thread and then stopped.

Glad you were able to do that Liz. He and his family might like to know we are still thinking of him (even though I haven't posted on his thread) x

That was a very nice thought Liz,. I too have been wondering if all is well as I have missed reading his posts.

Have written a notelet to Michael and his family to let them know we are thinking of them and especially Michael.

I knew Dutch had his address so got it from her today and wrote a carefully worded notelet, with my address, phone number, mobile no for text and email address, giving them the opportunity to let me know how Michael is without having to converse if they don't want to or for him to make contact if possible. I told him we were all thinking about him and his family and sending good wishes, love and support.

If nothing appears on his thread I might get some news to be able to add to it and let all Michael's friends who care, know how things are.

Hopefully the letter will get to them tomorrow or Saturday and we will get news. At the very least they and Michael will know he has not been forgotten.
