Vocal Voices

...one of our oldest and dearest friends passed away this morning.

I had an urgent message on fb to contact a friend in Birmingham and she told me that he'd had a heart attack and died. Don had nipped out to the shops and I had the heartbreaking task of telling him the news when he got home.

John was 58 and found love late in life..he got married 3 years ago and his little son Rauri was 2 last week.

Don's known John since he was 7! (they went to the same school) and in the 30 years I've known Don John became one of my closest male chums.

All plans to go to the festival were cancelled - we've spent all day taking calls, messages, etc. We've just realised we haven't eaten all day.

We are both in total shock.

Oh dear, Ally. What sad news.

I, too, found love late in life, but have been blessed with 30 years of happiness.

R I P John.

So sad Ally, he was no age xxx

Yes it's sad news and unexpected as well
There are no words only memories

I'm so very sorry Ally, a horrible shock, so sad for his young family, and for you and especially Don xxx

So sorry Ally. May he rest in peace.

How very sad, Ally

Really sorry to hear that, Ally - that's no age, as Gal said.

So sorry to hear this Ally.

Sending hugs to you, Don and his family xx

Oh (((Ally))) that is so sad! Especially leaving such a young family behind

Truly very sorry to hear this, my condolences to you and Don xxx
