No easy way to say this...

#1 Unread post by Wrider »

I know every one of you knows and loves our own FireGuzzi, so I need all of you to send out your prayers/good thoughts/well wishes/whatever you believe in to him and his young son.

He didn't want to post but messaged me on facebook and asked me to tell you all that his wife died this morning.

For those that don't know, she had been sick for years and had been doing ok, so this is a bit of a shock for him. He and his son could use any well wishes/thoughts/prayers, especially during this time of year. FireGuzzi, may Julie rest in peace, and may you and your son heal in time.

If anyone wants to do anything for him, I'll do my best to arrange what I can from here.

With a heavy heart,
Wrider

No words.
This is really shocking. Me and HYPERR always say how we like Fireguzzi, he's such a wonderful fun person and I am absolutely sure, his wife too. I read somewhere she had been sick for a time, I had no idea it was so serious. Terribly, terribly sorry for your loss fireguzzi if you read this, my heart goes out to you and your adoreable kid who posted all the smileys.

Love, hugs, prayers for you both.

It's never a good time of the year to lose a loved one, but especially hard so close to the holidays. My sincerest condolences are sent out to you, your son and your whole extended family.
