Sorry to hear that SS! What's his first name if I might ask?

[JEBWrench]

Seems almost fickle today, but; I'd like to ask for supportive prayers for my family. We lost our grandmother a year ago today, and the pain of it still sits in many of us.

I no longer have a grandmother on either side but I remember ... and have hopefully become wise from their teachings and more forgiving and intuitive with their help.. Im sure you will feel real satisfaction in what your grandmother taught you and helped to make you the person you are today

Hi yourself! You are most kind with the compliments, thanks for the *HUGS*!

I could use one because I, unfortunately, have another person I care about to add to our list.

My boss (supervisor, whatever) for over 20 years is probably dying of pancreatic cancer, as I write this. Not eexpected to live out tis week.

I have worked for this company for near 29 years, and worked for and with him for most of that time.. That's a long time.

Before his retirement some 5-6 years ago, he was my boss, my advisor, my challenger. He believed and trusted my skill and abilities at my job. He urged me on in ways that were both difficult and rewarding. I shy of calling him 'mentor' but I (and a few others were under his "wing".. .so to speak) think that he saw potential in us and in his own way gave us oppertunties to better ourselves.

Up to us to figure that part out , then.
No raise in pay was ever offered. It was all about being dedicated to what you do, doing the best you can do, and the importance of it.

I have never met a more dedicated, hardworking man than Paul. He took his work home with him, but he was really never stressed out by that.
He called me at home from time to time to talk about work things, and if I had to meet him at 4am to do my job in an emergency situation he knew I'd be there.

Some days there nothing you could do to please the man, we'd curse under our breath. But in time we'd...uh, not curse

Sorry to go on like this, I feel like I've done a eulogy or something. I haven't been up to visit him yet.
He's in the same hospital, the same floor as my wife was...I just feel hesistant. I'd like to remeber him as I do, not see him as he is now, others have told me. Not good.


Anyway, Please think of Paul W Pitts in your prayers.

He certainly deserves your prayers, if you'd only known him, you'd agree

poochie, Bonnie, JEB, SS85, and everyone

I don't want to leave any one out, but I'm all emotional right now.

My dear wife (God rest her soul) once put it his way :

Pray, pray, pray.

Let's see what happens.

Will certainly do so, RT.

RT, my best friend's husband passed away last week. I visited the hospital several times and I am glad I did. I saw him last, on the day he passed away. You will be in my prayers.

[dotty999]

Thank you poochee, similar happened her too.

My best friend passed away, and my wife and his wife became best friends.
In other words, we were all one happy family.

Now I have no wife, and she has no husband.

I have no best friend, and no wife.
She has no husband, and no best friend.

Logical connection has no meaning here.

We are freinds and always will be,

End of Story.
