Sorry Sheila...I pressed like...you know I don’t mean any disrespect I hope..just trigger happy habit. I am so sorry to read this tragic news. I don’t have any wise words for you...just want you to know that I feel so sad for you. So sad.

Thank you all very much . . . I knew you would feel for me.

Unbelievable news, to lose a child. Nothing I can say will alleviate your pain, but my thoughts are with you.

Thanks so much Callie and Sue; we are looking after each other and taking one day at a time. x

Sheila, so sad to hear about your loss. I can not begin to understand the loss that you are feeling. When I experienced a great loss the garden has always given me a place to retreat to, hopefully your love of gardening might help in these difficult times.

You’re so right Amsterdam - my garden is a great solace and comfort. In Trellisick I bought a lovely Uncinia rubra and keep it by a bench where I pretend Steve is sitting beside me. Thank you for your comment.

So sorry to hear your heartbreaking news of your precious son. You are in my thoughts.

Thank you Gerardine.

Deepest sympathy on your sad loss of your son

Oh Sheila,I have only just seen this...I am so very sorry for the loss of your wonderful son,and my thoughts are very much with you and your family..I really can't begin to imagine what you are all going through..xx

Dear Sheila, I have only just seen this blog. So very sad to read about your son Steve. Our thoughts are with you and your family. Alan & Wendy x

Thanks so much Sandra: yes, he was wonderful, and a friend to anyone who needed a friend.

Thank you Alan and Wendy :)

Sheila and family: Sorry to be so late to send along my sincere sympathy. When our children come to us we think that we shall be the ones who will leave first and it's a terrible blow when they leave us here to mourn their going. My husband and I send our heartfelt condolences. xx

Thank you Lori. We are about to meet our Aussie family with two little granddaughters on Vancouver Island: it will be bittersweet because Steve should have been with us, but hopefully we’ll have fun along with the tears.

Sheila. I just got back from New Orleans for work. I'm at such a loss of words I don't know what to say: Only that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I was greatly saddened to hear of Steve's passing. I'm reminded of the passing of my best friend & Father. My father was truly my best friend and though I'm 1 of 6 of his children, he made me feel especially loved and cherished and he was always on my side. That's what I think about, the blessings he left behind - for me! He's still very present in me.

It’s always sad when someone dies Paul, and I’m so sorry that you have lost your dear father. I think I know how you feel because Steve was such a dear friend to me too, always simply wanting me to be happy while I wanted the same for him. Thank you for your thoughts.

Just saw this blog even though u told me Sheila it's so very sad and I know only to well the loss of a much loved son. Xx

Thanks Sandra, yes it’s heartbreaking. I lost it on the plane coming over to Canada yesterday for a holiday where Steve should have been with us - but luckily no-one could hear me sobbing ... xx

Aww Sheila I understand that, I can sob looking at Johnny's favourite milk shake in Tesco! When them tears come we can't stop them.
But that's a mother's love xxx

May Steve, your Beautiful Son - RIPP. 'Very sad.

Thank you Gmama.
