I was going through my brothers papers and his computer. Paul (mrclose) passed away last week and I can’t express to you how much you people meant to him. I don’t know what else to say because I don’t know about these boards? I can only say, Thank You! In his last days … you folks made him happy. Thank You. I want to come back and participate on the forum but I don’t know how to sign up? Can I use this account? ---

I’m sorry to hear about your brother. My father and sister died the same way, and I know how difficult it is. I have asked someone to remove your email address. I don’t think it should be public. ---

I really enjoyed that “Pretty, Cute, Beautiful, Sexy” thread he made. It was interesting to get others’ perspectives on that. I’d somehow missed he was in a bad way. Sorry to see him go, and sorry for your loss. And, yeah, we’d love to have ya! ---

I’m really sorry to hear about the loss of your brother. My mom is about to start chemo, tomorrow morning in fact. So I feel a little kinship with you. I will pray you and your family get through this as best you can. And as has been already said, we’d love to have a new [del]victim[/del] poster on board. We will provide the goat. ---

Sorry for your loss. Thank you for letting us know about his passing. We knew about his illness, and if he’d never posted again we would have understood what happened, but it is good to have the closure and to be able to express sympathy to you and the rest of his family. I hope whatever waited for him on the other side was what he wanted to find. ---
