    Mad ........ a :staradmin in more ways than one now!


    Thinking of you, your family, friends (virtual and otherwise) and mischief you got up to and no doubt will still do wherever you maybe.

  • Good night Elite, been good to see you all again, even if it's been for such sad news. But showed just how good the Elite is at pulling together and remembering a dear friend.
    Hugs to you all :)

    Sweet dreams Mad :A
  • What's touched me so much is all the tributes and memories, and not forgetting every single very generous donation, whether it be to Make A Wish, cancer research or for flowers. Everyone has pulled together. Lurkers, exiles and regulars alike.

    I shall be going to bed with a warm heart tonight. And that's not from my electric blanket :rotfl:



    Hi QOC
    How can I donate to mad s funeral flowers. I think he would be really touched the way the thread has pulled together. It has been a very humbling day. Lovely to see lots of old faces posting tonight too. What a lovely tribute to a special man

    Mad, if your listening, could you let the big man up there with you know that we could all do with a good glitch on tissues. ;)

    Velvet are half price in T (97p I think) and there is a 60p coupon in the latest T mag so 37p per pack :beer:

    Just finished catching up, and so shocked at the sad news.
    Mad will be sadly missed, and it is so lovely to see everyone pulling together. We truly are a family here, and we've lost one of our own. The tributes to Mad show how much we all care, even for those we have never met, but who touch our lives. Seeing the photos of Mad is lovely, so good to be able to put a face to the name. I've shed tears at the posts on here today, and more when I listened to Mad's song. How lovely that his family can hear it.
    I've donated, lit a candle and raised a glass to Mad, and also raised a glass to Bushy, a friend from Antigua who we lost to leukaemia a week ago.

    I found this poem that I'd like to share as I think is lovely. It is for all of us who have lost a loved one.

    Feel no guilt in laughter, he'd know how much you care.
    Feel no sorrow in a smile that he is not here to share.
    You cannot grieve forever; he would not want you to.
    He'd hope that you could carry on the way you always do.
    So, talk about the good times and the way you showed you cared,
    The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared.
    Let memories surround you, a word someone may say
    Will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day,
    That brings him back as clearly as though he were still here,
    And fills you with the feeling that he is always near.
    For if you keep those moments, you will never be apart
    And he will live forever locked safely within your heart.

    Good night all, hugs to all in need, cos I think a lot of us are in need tonight.

    We are up to £120 for flowers, with donations still to come too :D

    Thank you everyone. Remember, there is no such thing as a "small" amount. Every little helps :D

    Anything that's left from the flowers will be put towards whatever the collective Elite feel it should go to, whether the hospice, a tree, a star or Thrifty's just giving page
