My princess is gone

Stay strong buddy.  We need you here.  Please check in when you can.

I really appreciate everything, I'm really struggling for words right now.

I'm proud and amazed you're even here.  I'd be a mess, in bed with the covers over my head.

We love you, man.  You don't need to feel obligated to reply at all until it will help you.

Sorry for your loss.

We don't need words, we just need to make sure you're ok.

We actually know you're not ok. We want just want to make sure that someday you will be. At least sort of. So we'll check on you and hug you and make sure. 

Heart wrenching to hear this Wally. You know that we are all here for you. 

Sorry for your loss Wally. I think you have the best support group here on the interwebz.

This resinates with me.  Yes, we do need you here.  Now, please don't misunderstand this to mean, "to heck with your problems, think how it will affect me."  Ha.  

No, it means that you are very much a part of what makes here a great place and we want you to continue to bring that.  A great tragedy would be if this took the humor out of you.  Now, I really don't think that it can take all the humor out of you but it sure can have a way of taking a lot of it.  I really don't want that to happen.   We need you here.  You bring me (and I know others too) a lot of smiles with your words and views.  Please, try to find that again when you can and please share it again.  

PS: I've rewritten some of this just a few time and it still doesn't capture what I want it to so I will just repeat myself again... We Need You Here!  We want you here.  Hopefully, everyone just wants to be wanted and reminded of that worth.  You are worth sooo much!

No words are needed. In the Bible when Job lost his children his 3 friends came over and didn't speak for 7 days.  

Just the presence of caring friends is helpful in your mourning.  My heart goes out to you.  

Sincere condolences. 

E36 M3 I'm sorry.  I was on the road so I didn't see the thread.  berkeley.

I know that messages on the internet aren't much consolation when a person has suffered as much grief and sadness and loss as you have recently, but I think there's now 7 pages of evidence that you're not alone in this. You're a valued member of the GRM family, and we're all aching for you.

Thoughts and prayers with you, Wally.

Expressed better than I ever could. 

Take care of yourself.

So sorry! May peace and strength be with you!

Right, this. 

Wally,

I am deeply sorry for your loss.  I know that words from an Internet stranger may not be the salve to your wounds, but I do want to let you know that I am thinking of you in this time.  I’ve been here a long time, and there are names on this board of people who I’ve always hoped to meet in real life.  You are most certainly one of them.  

I will return to NYC sometime after this is over.  I’d love to buy you dinner and enjoy a meet and greet. You’ve made me laugh so many times, and this pandemic has taught me that I need to actively connect with people when the opportunity presents itself.  

Take good care of yourself,

Rob

Damn. This is agonizing news from a man whose humor and joy and wisdom has been enjoyed here for years.
 

This goofy group of friends is here for you.. I can only offer condolences but I wish you comfort and peace.
 

Rest in peace sweet princess. 

Very sorry for your loss, Wally. We are all thinking of you.

You don't have to say anything. I, like a lot of people here, have had some huge losses too. We all know that words mean absolutely nothing at times. I ended up snapping at people who kept wanting me to go thru blow by blow of how my mom died.

Wanna talk? We are here, even if it's about something absurd. Don't wanna talk? That's fine too. Everyone grieves differently and you are the captian of your ship there

Man that sucks Wally. Stay strong know that we are all sending our love your way.  Hope things ease up on you soon. 

I was looking for something for the funeral and stumbled on this aluminum card she got for my badge holder.  I'm done.

That's beautiful man. Sounds like you have been very lucky to have had her in your life and that she chose you.

Dammit, I'm so sorry, man. All the love from the hongs.
