Such lovely words in this thread in tribute to brisket.

(I remember the Mario Twin threads from last summer, too.)

A smiley  lump though Magic,Soozy!  

Many thanks Lori, Rosemary et al ......perfect

I was out with family today, and on the way this morning stopped to get a bite to eat, as I sat at the table my leg bounced a bit as I was enjoying my breakfast.......and I thought of brisket and the leg-bouncing/twitching thread. Hehe, it made me smile.

Incredibly sad news.  Brisket was a lovely, warm and caring person who I will miss dearly.  Rest in peace, gentle soul.

Haven't been here for a few weeks.........I'm gutted at the news

Everything I want to say sounds trite.

I've said some things on this forum that I should have sat on my hands about 

I meant every word I said at the time..........always in the back of my mind I used to feel that Brisket will be disappointed in me for saying that 

He had that kind of effect on me.....no one else ever has 

You were a one off brisket   Top bloke           RIP  xxx

Thank you so much Rosemary, Lori, Dave and everyone involved. 

My thanks too, as Cupcake says.
My heart goes out to brisket,s family and friends for his funeral tomorrow. I pray the sun shines for our dear friend, and he rests in peace, knowing he was loved and respected . Bless you brisket

"Pray the sun shines " is something we say in Scotland  xx

Absolutely! Whether it's cloudy or grey - the sun will always shine on brisket IMO.

I agree Soozy....

In case you are interested, the funeral is at 4pm tomorrow. Might be a good time for each of us to have a "moment of silence" in his honor (if you want, of course).

Shall be thinking of brisket tomorrow, and his family, and will raise a smile for him...........thanks Lori for...well just for...........xx 

Syd:

Will be thinking of brisket and his family today hope al goes as well as it can

Thinking of Brisket and his family and friends today.

...xxxx

 To all brisket's family and friends - our thoughts are with you

Sleep well brisket. 

You will be missed, so sad

Very much appreciated, Lori - thank you.

I had my very own moment of silence and reflection this morning at 8am my time. Spent a few minutes thinking about brisket and what a pleasure he was to talk to and hang out with. Don't now how much pain he was in due to the cancer, but he's now pain-free, and hopefully in a place full of lovely flowers, incredible flowers, and people who don't flick their hair or jiggle their legs, etc.

Mostly, I think about how pleased he would be about the way we've all come together as a community. I hope we can honor him by continuing to respect and appreciate each other in the way that he did each of us.

Sweet dreams brisket. 

 *stops bouncing leg* and  yes, I am sure he would have loved that.

absolutely, thank you

Thats fantastic, i remember seeing this at the time....... brilliant

I've had a little report from someone at the service that I thought you might appreciate:

Our flowers were beautiful, the service was small and understated. The vicar spoke about brisket's talent as a pianist, and how he didn't really like to talk about himself. His "chat room" participation was mentioned as being a big part of his life. "Amazing Grace" was sung. Sounds lovely, doesn't it?

That's the way he would've wanted it I think Lori.  

Lovely Lori, it sounds like it was a very fitting ceremony x

Thank you for letting us know Lori, he meant such a lot to us its nice to know that we featured in his life and gave him happiness.

So pleased you got a little report back Lori, the vicar seemed to sum him up perfectly x

And how delighted and thankful he was, in his own special way 

It sounds perfect, Lori. Thank you for letting us know.

it sounds just perfect....

awww thank you Lori for this - it sounds absolutely perfect for brisket - he is so missed

Thank-you Lori... for everything you've done. xx 

thanks Lori
