Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 Silkie lass, sorry to hear of this. We just had Blondiewenches mother pass from Lou Gherigs disease. Life is tough, death is the reward for makin it through. Bo.
Kenneth Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 Sorry you lost your Dad Silkie. "Without caffine, I'd have no personality at all"
Captain Raevon Morgan Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 My condolences, Silkie. You and your family are in my prayers.
William Brand Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 My dear Miss McDonough. I do hope that you are much recovered since the news. Having been away on work, I haven't had a chance to inquire after you and your health. All of my prayers. Â Â Â
Capt Grey Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 Belated condolances, lass. :angry: As Master Yoda wisely states: "Luminous beings are we; not this crude matter." Our loved ones never leave us as long as we remember them. Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.
Rogue Mermaid Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 I'm very sorry for your lose Silkie, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family
BriarRose Kildare Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 Dearest Silkie, I am very sorry for your loss. Dorian and I were away on vacation and we just got in late yesterday to find news that your father had passed away. We are both very sorry and if you need any thing please do not hesitate to call. We are both here for you. We will keep you in our prayers and we will be lighting a candle for you, your family and your father tonight. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Hester Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Sorry to hear of you loss, Silkie. My thoughts are with you.
Silkie McDonough Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Thank you all so much. I am doing well and life continues as before. I live some 350 miles east of my family home so I think it may take a few weeks before the full impact of my loss is realized I do not grieve for my father he is at peace now. I grieve for my loss. He is with loved ones he has missed for years now so I am happy for him. On the other hand the settling of almost no estate will be an adventure between my three sisters and me. My parents had a five bedroom house with a full basement and were pack rats. Any advice would be appreciated.
Red Cat Jenny Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Many estates large or small have been aided by a tag sale as well as an invitation to your local Salvation Army. There are companies that will hande the tag sale for you. It would be a legacy to your folks if some items could go to those less fortunate. It takes the "cold" out of clearing away things. Brings some more good in their memory. A good lawyer can take care of the rest. Remember to make sure each person willed to, has an equal opportunity to look amongst things for items they might find precious and have all in agreeance before anything is removed. If squabbles occur ...remember it is in the dignity of your parents memory that you choose sentimental items. No squabbling. It can be a tiring task. Seeking outside help will allow you to continue your necessary work/family schedules and give you time to reflect on family rather than stress over physical things. Hope this helps Oh..and 1 shoulder..no waiting anytime lass.. Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time...
