I found out yesterday that an old school friend who I have known since I was 11 but had lost touch with over the past 5 years, died the day after Elaine, Flying Doctor. It was a few days before his 68th birthday. His funeral is on Weds, at the same time as Elaine's. It's way out in the sticks so I won't be going altho his brother said it would be nice if I could make it. I know his brother too who moved to Australia, and made contact with him on fb. He is now in the U.K. so I hope he was here with his brother at the end. Being on his fb page gave me the chance to see pictures of Barry's family now grown up, in fact he was a Great Grandad! To see some of the last photos of my friend was harrowing, he had lost an eye and had a wicked black patch, but looked so old and frail at the end, laying in bed with his baby gtgrandson next to him, just a few months old(born just before Christmas) |

I met up with my old school friend I had lost touch with her for thirty years then in 2006 when I got my laptop I found her through her DIL We had a very special relationship and would ring each other up every day with news, then in 2011 I had the news that she had bone cancer she died in jan 2012. I still miss her phone calls and her bits of news, but I know shes not in pain now. |

Thanks, I contacted another friend who knew Barry well and wouldn't you know it, she has to get her husband into hospital the morning of the funeral for a knee replacement op, which has already been postponed three times since September. |
