Latewood, I hate that you are going thru all this. I’m just a little older than you, and I have been to a lot of funerals in the last ten years. For most of us when we are young, death and sickness are far removed from our thoughts. As we get older we have to deal with reality, we need to keep a good buzz and make the most of every second we have on this earth. I pray for you to be as happy and healthy as possible.

Sorry for your loss try to keep your mind on happy thoughts and memories, sometimes distractions and keeping your self busy helps

@latewood my thoughts and prayers go out to all who are dealing with the loss of their loved one. It can’t be easy dealing with all of this on your own. Just know that we are all beside you on this. I know there is little we can do other than be there in spirit for you. Stay strong my friend. Lots of love from mrs G and myself

If I missed anyone I apologize. I had to force myself to log in and I am glad I did. I am going to try and reply to all of you that replied the past few days. I am worn out. As I have mentioned; I ahve a Society that does a celebration of life for all out brothers and sisters who pass on.
We have a shcurch sevice planned that I ahve orchestrated, then our Musician’s memorial socoety is going to throw a big party in honor of John. His wife and I have always respected each other but, had a smoewhat contentious relationship because, he was my bass player, then he met her. LOL. Eventuallt the band broke up but, we still did gigs throught the past few years,
One fact that I wanted to share. John had Lupus but, had it under control. He was overtaken and destroyed in a months time by one of the worst disorders known to man. Cruetsfeldt Jakog Disease. A high degenrative brain idsorder, He was just gone in a matter of days. I would widh this on noone, much less heave a family endure this overwhelmingly quick and debilitating death.

I wonder what would become a human focused endeavour to cure such things , if only we could focus on one and tick off the last . Thanks for this side of the forum by the way , it’s sad and terrible and hurt to read but it means we are not alone in grief

Hey all, I am not sure how long we will have to share and support each other. Always remember, I am latewood, Roger, and I love growing. Sharing hardships and being aware that life is more than politics or growing weed and that we all need a place to vent, showed me that all these yeats were worth it. I love growing supply was always a dream in order to coop members, but it never worked out. Yuo all can always find me thtough my friends on the growing wiht fishes podcast although the format has changed, and I rarely do the show, they are my friends. I will catch you later, or I won’t. Love to all IMLatewood

@latewood - I’ve not read the entire thread and can’t even pretend to know what you’re feeling, but that’s a pretty dark and cryptic post by anyone’s standards.
I don’t mean to be so forward, but are you all right Roger?

Hey all. Thanks for all the kind words and know that my thoughts are with you all. I really have meant to come over and address all your replies, but my head has not been in the game, and I have needed some time. Working on my own old website named after me, but It is just going to be for keeping up with friends, if I have to leave here.
I rebuilt my Gren Toom over there. I am also ropening my store and will display ILGM seed banners, etc as an afilliate, and offer great deals on smaller packages of grow supplies that I buy in bulk for the farm. that will be on Amazon, and at ilovegrowingsupply. (still not recovered from dat file)
I hope I can get in here and read all the posts I have been missing and see how everyone is doing.
Peace ot all.
