I haven't checked your blog in a couple of weeks, I think because I knew your dear OG was growing weaker and while I know you must be comforted by knowing he is no longer suffering, a final goodbye is so very difficult.

He had such spirit and strength and you had such strength and love for him. A powerful combo.

RIP Davy.

Dearest Ann - I was so sad to hear the news of OGs passing. Although I don't know you guys personally, he seems like a great man with family & friends who loved him very much. Just from reading your blog, I can tell he touched many lives. Hopefully the memories will help you all get through. My sincerest condolences to you & everyone who loved OG in this time of mourning. You are in my thoughts & prayers, as always. Please take care.

Thank you Crystal. OG was one in a million and we are all devastated, but I am detemined that some of the daft memories we have of him will help us to overcome the dreadful sorrow.

Good to have you back in the fold again Jodie. He was so glad you came back and always took interest in how you were doing, as he did with everyone.

When I think about it he knew every single one of you inside out and had this instinct for knowing when anyone was emtotionally hurting and could say just the right words to ease the pain. Amazing.

Thank you Jennifer, it is so humbling that blogging friends have been so concerned.

OG took a great interest in this blog and I read all the posts and comments to him so he was fully aware of the kindness of everyone.

His legacy will always be felt in the office Jax. We will find outselves thinking "what would Davy want us to do?". He was a giant of a man in spirit.

Yes, on the face of it the treatments were unnecessary DogLover, but they were so purplexed about the cause I guess the hypocratic oath made them keep investigating. He was a splendid man, that described him perfectly.

2010-01-03T20:32:58.396Z

Just checking through blogs after the christmas absence and am shocked to the core to read this. I am so sorry and send my sympathy. From what you say it was good he had all the family around him both the day before and on the day he died. Take heart from that.

You must be exhausted after all you have gone through. Take time to heal yourself and keep things simple!

2010-01-03T19:42:43.223Z

Sorry never seems the right word to say and on saying that Rab and I are definately not sorry for the priviledge of knowing Davy and yourself. We indeed has been blessed with having two true friends , warts and all..You and the family are in our thoughts.

2010-01-03T16:11:56.605Z

I am so very sorry to hear this sad news, you write a lovely post to mark his passing. Obviously a much loved man and an inspiration to many. I'm sure he would have smiled and enjoyed your steak pie.

Best wishes to you, CJ xx

R&C, I have never met you, or your husband, but feel I've been party to so much that has happened, by virtue of your blog.
Thank you for sharing so much of your life, and your husband's.
I'm thinking about you, R&C; sorry that you both had to go through so much, but your blogs do show the love held between you, and your lovely family.

Oh, sweetie, I am so sorry. Sending many hugs to you.

I'm glad you had a good Christmas, with most of the family there. I know from what Mum has told me (she was a nurse all her working life apart from when we kids were very young) that unresponsive people can and do hear what's going on around - far more than people think. How lovely for OG that he passed away surrounded by those who loved him - even if they did speak the dreaded name of JO and mention the dastardly bubble and squeak!

Take care of yourself now. You may need to sleep for a week, or maybe you won't sleep at all for a while. Just be gentle with yourself. And please keep in touch.
