bill, tears are a big part of the healing process so don’t be ashamed to let it all out. jesus, who had the power to resurrect, wept over the death of his friend lazarus. how much more so should we who are powerless to do anything? i, for one, won’t think less of you for it. it will help a lot in getting some closure.
your friend,
don 
So sorry for you Bill, my heart goes out to you!
I woke up this morning after having the best sleep in some time…
However, within minutes I discovered the pain of this may be just beginning…
Thank you duffman…
I hope I’m not leaning on any of you…
It’s not nice for me to me to begin doing that… to anyone I consider my friends… The support mail that’s coming in here is huge…
It doesn’t appear to be slowing down…
BUT…
I think it might be helping…
I think I’ll get by this if I can get all this out…
It’s a delicate time…
I hope I don’t abuse anyone with all this…
including me…
Here’s but some of the mail of the mail that I’m replying to…
I’m sure my Mom would love to see some of this…
Hi Ron:
Thanks for the mail reply and all… I was at the Graveside Service this
afternoon we had for Mom… I had a nice rest and just woke up to check the
mail that’s still coming in… Here is some mail and the reply, I got from
Wendy and Al on the Face book Messenger…
Hi Bill
Gee we haven’t seen you for many years but we saw where your Mom passed away
and we wanted to pass on our condolences. It’s always hard to lose a parent,
regardless of their age as they say we only have 1 Mom.
We’ll keep you in our hearts and prayers
Drop a line and let us know what you’ve been up too.

Hi Wendy and Al:
Thanks you for the mail you send over to me… We put our Mom to Rest this
afternoon… The Graveside Service Mom had was attended by her family and
friends… There was many more there than I had imagined to see… What a nice
afternoon it was… Harry Melvin and his wife, Sheila was there with me… The
remaining friend Mom had (Her age/generation) was there… It was so nice to
see her… She has no vision anymore… But… Her mind and spirit is so solid
and stable… Mom would have loved to see her… I know… Mom is finally where
she wanted to be… With her Friends… God Love Here…
?
Bill… Bottom of Form 1
********************************************************
I’m sure you know Harry… He’s the Drummer… He’s a 51 year driver…
still out there and going everyday… He just turned 72 in July… We work on
the bus, together… However, he’s turned the driving chores over to me…
All the Best to You, your Family, Your Mom and All… Take Care… We’ll see
you soon…
Bill…
99… EH… !!

I believe the grieving is only beginning…
Bill…
Bill - I am very sorry to hear about your loss. I hope that she didn’t suffer too much in the end.
I am blessed to have both my parents still alive (my mom is 88 and my dad is 86).
Hi Mr Soul and spreadercraig:
Thank you for your replies…
I’m up and going today…
I think I’m gonna survive all this…
It appears to be getting better…
There’s lots of legal matters to be addressed, now…
However, I’m not on the front line to all this…
It’s a good thing…
The most I’ve been able to do recently is turn in and sleep and then get up in the mornings…
I’m trying get back to some routine…
Time was going in slow motion this past week…
However, it appears to speeding up again and getting back to normal…
I’ve been wanting to get back in the studio and put some physical effort into working on these bass bins…
BUT…
My heart ain’t there anymore…
I have put a few hours in…
I need to update the blog…
and I have uploaded the photo blog a couple of times…
There’s much work to do to get the bins up-and-running…
I have one completed…
Bill…
Sorry Bill.
Hi Tony:
Thank you for the reply…
It’s now eight days since we laid her to rest… What an inspiration my Mom has been to me …
for these many years…
Bill…
As some of might know, my mother passed on Jan 5 2009. I have made a song in tribute to her. The link is here:
http://forum.ntrack.com/cgi-bin/ikonforum/index.cgi?act=ST;f=2;t=9226
First song on the list, the song is on my new album. I hope you enjoy it. Love you mom. 
PACO
Late condolences, Bill.
My own mother passed away 29th July this year. She was only 69, but she had various serious ailments for years. She had been hospitalised since the late May and we - and she - knew the end was near. Still… there’s a lot of grieving to do. Time heals, but does not let one forget.
Mwah,
not much around this forum these days
Condolences Mwah…
D
There’s not a day that goes by when I’d like to give Mom a call or see her…
I didn’t see her enough when she was alive…
As a result, I feel guilty for not visiting her as I should have…
SO…
Sad…
[I’m gonna add… There’s no replacing our Mom… Where would we be… without them… <!–emo&???–><img src=“http://ntrack.com/ikfiles/non-cgi/emoticons/kem.gif” alt=’???’ /><!–endemo–>? ]
