"A man is rich or poor, not by the things he owns or the money he has in a bank. If he has made friends, memories and has accomplished things- he is truely rich. If he has not, he is poor- for he will not be remembered. "

I guess you could say he was rich.....for he left his mark

Hey, kuntawguro. I've got a few minutes to kill so I thought I'd head into the lounge. Seems like you're the only one here! What's going on in your world?

I lost my father 4 years ago, the past 20 years we were not very close. Brings back thoughts of the song "Leader of the band"

:cheers:

I have no words but only love. I have no doubt only faith. I have no pain only memories of the people who made me great.

--Infy

Infy,

I love those words, so much so that I hope you don't mind if I use them as the last line of my speech I am making at his memorial.

To all of you,

Thank you Thank you Thank you. To the staff for listening to me all these months in the back room, sending their love and support and good thoughts and pitching in to cover the board in my absences. To MJS who always made an effort to send me a pm asking how things were. To Shesulsa who listened to me incessantly on the phone and walked with me through every painful step. To Bob Hubbard who would get me on the phone and have me rolling in laughter in a matter of minutes, no matter how upset I was. To all of you who have joined me in raising a glass to this wonderful man, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. He would be so pleased by your out pour of comfort and having a drink in his name would bring a huge smile to his face.

You all rock and are the reason why I love this place so much.

:cheers: Lisa

Raise a glass with me people, please.

To my Dad who I said goodbye to earlier this evening.

After a valiant 3+ month fight he succumbed to complications after a quintuple bipass.

My Dad was many things. He was a Union man, believed everyone deserved a fair wage for a job well done. He was a political activist and taught me to think before I speak and that even though a man's words may make my blood boil, I better be ready to fight for his right to say them. And he was a family man, loving all of us entirely and completely.

I will miss you Dad and I will love you forever.

:cheers:
My condolences. Sounds like he was a good man.

There is no greater honor Lisa. You may and probably have (business trip made it harder to check here) used them at your leasure.

I was rather shocked and proude after it came out of my fingers :) don't hold me up to that bar I'm not actually that good of a writer!
