    Our wonderful, funny, kind, generous, warm hearted, flirtatious and loving friend Carl lost his battle with cancer this morning. The world is a dark place for his death.
    Thank you all for your support over the past few weeks. It has been greatly appreciated and has definitely helped xxx
    I'm still in shock to be honest, even though we knew it was coming and should have been prepared for the news. I think DH is feeling the same way. I've made dinner but have no clue if it is going to be edible. Chances are it will get eaten, if not there is always pizza delivery.
    The funeral is next Thursday and DH and I will be going. The boys will come with us to the memorial service next month. DH and DS2 will be going down South on Saturday and I'm going to send some food down as planned. Hopefully my brain will co-operate and it will turn out ok. Thankfully I can practically make brownies in my sleep.

    take care everyone xxxx

    ((((SDG)))) and another virtual shoulder to lay on. Can't add any more to others' comments, but am sad for you to lose someone who's obviously so dear to you. Take care.
