[biffon]

although i do not "BELIEVE", this psalm gives me chills and its sentiment is noble
take from it what you will...

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever

Double loss, very sad.

It is a double loss and very sad, at least with My Aunty we had warning and all knew what was coming but with Les it is just such a huge shock to everyone, he was only 53 years old.

[pennymac]

Nice little town that... a bit out of the way though!

And by "out of the way" you mean you wouldn't go there unless you were absolutely determined...or a grey nomad?

For those of you who know/knew, Roly and Pat Mauseth, ex Bulawayo. Pat passed away to day. I received this email from Dan Coetzee this am. It reads as follows

Dear Steve
While visiting Pat's sister in Yorkshire Pat became very ill and had to go to hospital where she passed away during the night.
Ian Dixon did visit Pat in hospital and was in contact with Roland. I feel sure that you will join us in offering all our condolences to Roland and the family. Pat and Roland have been staunch members of our branch for many years, and ran the branch as Chairman for a few years here in Milton Keynes.

i have found out via the grapvine that two ex-watershed boys (1990-94/95)
George Gonyora and Tich Mwamuka have passed away.
I dont believe they are recent deaths or that they occurred at the same time. Tich was well liked and will be missed, George will be remembered for all the mischief he got up to.... one of those boys who never really excelled academically but was an excellent sportsman.
RIP blazo's!!

Patrick Mann, Co owner of Agri Auctions in Bulawayo passed away from a Heart attack last night. He was a wonderfull boss and friend to me and the years I worked at Agri were the best of my life...You will be missed by so many.

I was just looking for this thread to mention Patrick Mann - a lot of my facebook friends from home are devastated. I remember him well from my hanging around Byo town in my teenage years. I find this really horrific because he is only a year or two older than I am - far too young to have a heart attack.

I know, My Dad phoned me to tell me this morning and I cant quite belive that such a "Alive" man can just be there one min and gone the next. Its so tragic. He was such a larger than life dude that he is going to leave such a huge hole in so many lives. He has made me laugh till I cried so many time's. He was a holligan, Party animal with a heart of gold. :smiley20: He has 3 young kids its just not fair. :smiley19::smiley19::smiley19: I am so glad that I got to work for him as it was the best time of my life, the 4.5 years I worked at Agri were the most awsome of my life. Very proud to have known him.

Our dear friend Howard Neill,I know there is a seperate thread for him. He shall be missed dreadfully as he was a true Gent in every sense of the word! Rest in peace!

[Tricky Nicky]

Here here Dallas xx

[jiggs]

Well said there Dal

[licorice]

Yes he will be very very missed.

[Nyala]

I don't know Howies medical history, does anyone know what happened to him? Was he unwell for a while or was his passing sudden? I know we are all hearbroken by his passing but it is just so sudden to me that I'd like to know what happened to him.

[licorice]

Nyala, Howie had Pulmonary Fibrosis, though the last time I chatted to him he said his sats were ok. But he never made a fuss. I speak to his sister who lives in Wales and when I feel time is right I will ask as I know it was very sudden and unexpected.

[Nyala]

Thanks for letting me know, Lic. It's such a tragic loss and so sudden that I was shell-shocked for a while and just needed to know what happened.

[Chick]

Howards lung disease made for a difficult day to day life I am sure, but he never complained, he just explained his symptoms and got on with the oxygen tanks and making breathing as easy as possible. A brave man and he remained his usual cheerful and lovely self.

Howard had said he wanted a swift ending, that was his wish, and I am pleased that he receive his wish, it's very important to someone with a terminal illness to receive the best of care which no doubt he did, but if his time was right, Howard would not regret that.

Wishing Sam, Karry, family, grandchildren anf friends a good send off.

[Sam Edwards]

The very sparky, larger than life Chick passed away peacfully on the 22/8/11 at 9.00am. A nicer person you could not wish to meet and the world is a poorer place without her.
RIP my friend, Love you loads xxxxxx

[joemac]

RIP Chick.

[dallas]

RIP Chick you will be sorely missed!!

[kimfromzim]

Recent news (recent for me) via Facebook, of both Howard and Chick leaving us, has shocked me and brought me back (briefly) to the forum, after a long absence. RIP both Chick and Howard. Your characters shone through in every word helping to make this place as addictive as it was. Not sure what happened Chick but you were a strong and lively lady, I know that! Enjoy a rest now, till we all come up there and party with you!
Kim

[SpaRHawK]

Bugger. That is real sad.... she was a lovely lady and I had much humour with her at zimfest in days gone by...

RIP Chick... will raise a toast and have too many dops for you. You'll be missed.

[zimboykie]

So sad to see another loyal TCBer head off to the big chatroom/forum page in the sky so soon after Howard. Deepest sympathies & condolences to all the family, friends, loved-ones she has left behind. I'm sure she's already hooking up with Howard to chat & laugh about old post topics & threads. MHDSRIP.

[jiggs]

R.I.P. Chick you will be sorely missed by all of us

[Sam Edwards]

Our Chick has been gone 3 months today, sometimes it seems like she has been gone for ages then other day's it feels like it cant be true... she cant be gone.
Missing her heaps...

[Tricky Nicky]

Every time I see one of her posts on here I get such a lump in my throat, as I do with Howard. I also have so many special memories of Howie - both are very sorely missed xx

[cujimmy]

Yes, it's not the same without them - R.I.P. both

[boards]

I wonder if Chick misses me?

[gertrude]

Chick is not gone, my friends. She is just not here physically any longer. She will always be with us!!!

[Tricky Nicky]

That is true Gertie - it is a comforting thought xx :smiley20:
