Stevie's Dad - Page 7

***ThePenguin*** · #91 08-12-2005, 08:21 AM

Well, this was sad news to wake up to, although after hearing how ill he was recently, I am not totally shocked by it. So very sorry to hear of his passing. Stevie and her dad seemed to have a very special relationship; she and her family are in my thoughts today.

OMG, I just thought he had a broken leg; I didn't know he was that sick. My condolences to Stevie & her family.

I am keeping Stevie and her familiy in my thoughts and prayers. I have a wonderful memory of Jess dancing to Don't Stop in his wheelchair in Atlanta in 2003. He was adorable. And from what I understand he was a wonderful man who was loved by many.

My grandmother passed away on Tuesday morning. We had just had a family party on Sunday and she was able to see everyone. I had extended my trip up to Boston on Monday so that I could spend a little more time with her and then she passed away Tuesday morning. She died in her sleep which was a saving grace for us. She didn't suffer any more than she had to. And it is nice to know that now she is finally at peace. I'm glad that Stevie was finished with her tour. I really think that everything happens for a reason. There is a reason that Stevie finished on Saturday and there is a reason that I extended my stay just a few more days. It doesn't make it easier, but it helps to be close by and not have to travel to get to your family. Unfortunately there really isn't anything that anyone can say to make it all better right now, and I am sure that Stevie feels the same way. It takes time, but it helps to have your family and friends around.

I also want to extend my condolences to all the Ledgies that have also lost loved ones, especially parents. From what I can see with my mom and her siblings it is very difficult. I hope that you have the rest of your family there for support.

Kim, I am really sorry for your grandma, you and your family. Peace to all of you and to anybody here who has ever lost somebody no matter how long it's been.

I feel the same...I was just thinking yesterday about him. I was thinking about the 1981 Rolling Stone interview, and how Stevie spoke of her Dad with so much emotion, and how much he meant to her...

To Stevie and the Nicks family, my deepest sympathies. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks to everyone who expressed their sympathy to myself and the others who have lost loved ones recently. My thoughts are with them as well.

Oh my

That is very sad news. Like many of you - I am not completely surprised - as I kind of figured he was bad off because of Stevie's Jennings letter thing - I mean not thinking he was going to make it through a simple surgery - he was obviously not doing well.

He has gone to a better place - and my prayers are with Stevie and her family - it must be really hard for them.

After the last thread, I am sure everyones condolences from the Ledge will be her top priority to read.

When I saw this post, I wanted to respond to it, but I also didn't want to add to any negativity or ill feelings of any kind to a thread like this. So, with that thought in mind, I just want to say that I think we should all try to get along for the sake of this subject matter. I know we won't all always get along and we're destined to bicker at times because that's the way of our board, but I think it would be wonderful if we could band together in the name of love at a time like this, a dark one for someone who has touched all of our lives in a very positive way, big or small.

Wow. I hadn't even read that highly innapropriate post. But I agree with you Hillary

well said.

I had a feeling this was coming. Still doesn't make it any easier to read. My thoughts are with the Nicks family.

There is something we can do, even fans who don't post here:

http://www.azheartfoundation.org/database.asp?id=2

It will mean more than flowers or cards to Stevie right now.

I don't need to put down all the lyrics to
Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You

You know them by heart.

"Has anyone ever given anything to you
In your darkest hours
Did you ever give it back
Well, I have
I have given that to you
If it's all I ever do
This is your song"

It's something you can do for Stevie. Something positive.
love, blackcat
