I just wanted to thank everyone who left messages of support for me & my family on the Europe & US boards & in the Lounge.

I won’t dwell on the events of the last few weeks except to say that I read every single one of your messages of support. Please believe me when I say that you can’t possibly understand how much solace & consolation they gave me.

Special thanks are due to DebitNM & of course to LoveItaly in particular for posting on my behalf & for keeping in touch. I'm deeply grateful to her.

I will continue to lurk & will post again when the time is right.

My sincere thanks once again.

Jim

Oh Jim, if only good wishes could heal broken hearts!
You are always in our thoughts, here at my house and I know all of your friends feel the same.
God bless you and your family,
Scarlett

I was away, and was not aware of the tragedy to befall the family, until now.
May time and the wonderful memories of your son help in healing.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Hi JJBhoy. I am happy to see that you have made it to the point where you can post. Time is your friend, take all the time you need and know that we are all here with you and your family in our prayers.

Thanks for posting JJBhoy. Your family is in my thoughts often, too. In fact, every time I log onto EBay, I picture a red-headed boy across the pond, sitting in front of his computer screen and ordering up a yacht. Makes me smile, every time.

Thanks for posting JJBhoy. I have been through a tremendous loss many years ago and my heart goes out to you. The loss of a child is particularly difficult. All my best wishes to you and your family.

No words can express my deepest condolences for you and your family. I wish you much courage, strength and peace to get you through this very tragic loss.

JJBhoy - somehow I missed the news of your loss. I am so sorry. I can tell you from experience that you never get over it but, in time, it does get better and I remember the happy times while time has dimmed the tragic times. Hang in there!

My most sincere condolences go out to you & your family.

Topping for anyone who missed this.

Jim
