Saying Goodbye To A Friend

[Miss Vicky]

That's terrible news. I'm sorry to hear about your loss and while it's sad to hear that he had a tough life it's also inspiring to know that he never let it get to him.

My heart goes out to you, to his boyfriend, and to everyone else who loved him.

[Beachwood Mac]

What an eloquent tribute. So sorry for your loss.

What a wonderful man. You are blessed to have had his spirit in your life, as is everyone else his kindness touched.
I'm sorry for your loss.

[David]

My condolences, Stew. He sounds like a first-rate guy. What caused his fevers?

[GypsySorcerer]

I'm sorry to hear of your loss, Brian. Wyatt sounded like a truly exceptional individual.

[CrystalVisions]

My thoughts and prayers are with you, and I'm so glad you shared your story. Sending you big hugs, sweetie...I'm so sorry.

[Patti]

I'm so sorry for your loss, Brian. You wrote a very touching and eloquent tribute to Wyatt and I hope it helped you to do so.

Sending big hugs and lots of love your way.

So sorry to hear of your loss. He sounds like he was a really great guy. He was a really lucky guy to have had a friend like you.

It's better to have loved and lost.....then to never have loved at all.

[Johnny Stew]

I just wanted to thank everyone for the very sweet and caring comments and condolences. It really means more to me than I can say. Thank you.

It was a virus that lingered (like rheumatic fever?) in Wyatt's body, after his childhood bout with Scarlet Fever. It would usually flare up during times when he was overworked or run-down. Sometimes the fever would break after just a couple of days, and without having gotten too high. Other times, it would keep going higher and he'd end up in the hospital. They were never able to do much for him though -- it always seemed that they could only monitor him and let the fever run its course.

You have been my rock... thank you.

I don't have a lot to say, except my sympathies to you Brian. You know I don't seem to have the capability to cry Brian, but this made my eyes well up, admittedly.

You were with me all the time
I'll be with you one day
