Hello Lyn - do you know why people are all behind you? It's because you are so very generous with your time - you are doing a magnificent job with your pictures, they bring back so many memories for people, and you know what? Without memories we have very little. I personally am amazed that you have been able to be so selfless with Steve being so ill. You are a truly lovely and generous person Lyn, and it shows.

The finality is overwhelming but I hope that the well wishes that you have recieved from here help to sustain you now. I look forward to your continued interest and contributions.
My condolences for your loss.
Rupert.
 
I agree with Shortie on this.I hope,Lyn,that you are comforted by the many messages of sympathy on this great website. My condolences to you and your family at this sad time.
 
oh shortie..thank you so much..but cant accept that its me you are talking about...im just a normal person determined to carry on with my passion for the history of brum and be with so many kind like minded people and it really is not hard for me ...when grief strikes we all deal with it in very different ways and this is my way...ive had many instructions from steve over the past couple weeks...carrying on with the forum was one of them and i shall not let him down... i know it will be one day at a time for a while but i will bounce back from this...i have to as he said he will always be sitting on my shoulder...

Hi Lyn. It is with great sadness that I read this thread. I have not been around much lately and to pop in and hear this sad news - such a shock. You have always been so kind and helpful and I send you and your family my heartfelt condolences. Julie x
 
Lyn, Shortie is right and you're not just "a normal person" you're one in millions and I think that you are so brave to find time to reply, Graham.
 
Hiya Lyn, to be honest I'm not at all surprised at the amount of true feelings and good thoughts being sent your way. You have expressed such kindness and thoughtfulness to so many people on this site, and now its our turn to respond. you have my home phone number and you can call it at any time, night or day.
I didn't know Steve too well, there just wasn't enough time, but then I think back to the last meeting I had with him in your back garden on a lovely summer day, and thats the way I shall always remember him. We had a few laughs and a cup of coffee. Little did I know that when I left, that it would be the last time I would shake his hand and call him "mate".
It was a pleasure and an honour to meet him and I shall be scanning the skies for a new star Tonight.
Cheerio old chap, the pleasure was all mine.
Jim.

I know we have already spoken, but I feel I must add my condolences here, I know you are going to miss Steve. But try to think of the good times and it will make the grief you and your family have to cope with seem that little bit easier. I have never met Steve or yourself, but from what I have read about him here bears out the old saying about death and the young. As I have told you already remember to look after yourself in this very sad time.
