Title: I will be going quiet for some time
Post by: saaz on January 15, 2014, 09:14:24 AM
Hi all

I won’t be participating in various forums I am on or going to events in the immediate future as my wife, Gina, passed away suddenly on Sunday afternoon while I was coming back from a ride.  I have all sorts of things to deal with and organise at some stage when I am up to it.  The thought of riding even has no interest to me at the moment.  Even doing this has taken some time for me to cope with.

I will probably catch up on the forums at some stages to keep my sanity and escape from things.

Take care

John

John, i can't begin to imagine the gut wrenching shock of your wife's sudden passing.
I hope that the support & thoughts of everyone from your motorcycling family will provide some comfort during this difficult time.

So unexpectedly but sincerely sorry to hear that John. When I met Gina a couple of months ago we had a nice chat about books and my impression was of a cheerful, healthy person even though you mentioned Gina's diabetes.

I am shocked she is no longer with us. Don't despair. If you could use another shoulder to lament upon just PM me and I'll be there forthwith.

Thanks all for your kind words. The service will be at 10.30am on Friday 24 January, at the Norwood Park Crematorium in Mitchell ACT.

I am asking for donations towards type 1 diabetes instead of flowers or such.  Gina struggled to deal with type one diabetes pretty well her whole life, but it can finally get you one way or the other.  It is too late for Gina, but no-one should have to go through that, and hopefully one day they won't.

John, I've only just this moment read the very sad news that your wife has passed away after a lifetime dealing with type one diabetes, please accept my sincere condolences. My son David has also been dealing with type one diabetes since he was 12 years of age, he's 29 now and I know the problems associated with this complaint. I'm so sorry for you and your family my friend!!
