    Found this post earlier when we were all looking for a link to Mad's song. He posted it when he was thinking about doing his song. Seems appropriate to put it here tonight

    I hope you're feeling the love tonight too Mad :A


    And his family didn't even know he had done this for his niece. I have given them the link to the song. I am sure they will enjoy it :)

    As we have many sky at night watchers on here ~ how about naming a star?

    We can all look up & raise a glass to Mad when we 'glitch well' with him watching us ♥

  • I would also like to raise a glass in his memory with you all

    Cheers Mad :beer:
    Three of us have donated on the original Mad Justgiving site from last year, one was a substantial amount, will it still go to charity even though the page was opened a year ago?
  • I haven't posted on MSE for such a long time, but just had to look in to raise a glass to Mad. A lovely man with a fab sense of humour and he will be sadly missed.

    You made me smile so often Mad and I know the angels will be smiling with you now. RIP xx

    Really?? He never told his family? It shows what a lovely and unassuming person he was.

    Oh that's so nice TS, Im sure they will get great comfort and pride from it. :A
