Dear friends,
Thank you all for your kind thoughts and condolences. It really does help us to have this network of friends worldwide with whom to share our joys and sorrows.

Phil, your poem was completely appropriate and please feel free to share it. Emily & Jim liked it so much that they used a line of it in the little guy's obituary.

We are still looking forward to seeing many of you in Las Vegas.

Love,

Joe & Anne

Dear Joe and Anne
Thank you for allowing me to share these few words with the forum . It is an honour and a privilege !

We had a chance to hold him
And shed a special tear
There are no words of comfort
That can be spoken here
Our hearts are truely broken
James Robert did not survive
But with the beating of our hearts
He will always be alive

Hi to all my friends
Just to let you know that Jean and I have just arrived back from our annual " wine run " to France . We can hardly move in our kitchen for boxes and bottles of the " amber nectar " so if anybody is passing our way feel free to pop in for a glass or two . As you all know I only have one glass a night myself . The problem is I usually fill it five or six times which usually gets the old pencil going so don't be surprised if a poetic post arrives :

and no one knows where the night is going
and no one knows why the wine is flowing
But pros I need to now

It's a hard life !
hICCUP !

NO wonder you and the lovely Jean are still madly in love.


A kitchen full of the nectar of the gods, how I wish i just lived down the road and could pop in for a visit.

Enjoy it but only in moderation now folks!!! :)
