Miss Emily has died

by **backhoe** » 06/ 14/ 10 3:23 am

Folks, with a heavy heart… I found Miss Emily dead this morning about 2:00.

She seemed fine when we went to sleep.

I’m waiting for her brother Robert to come by.

If & when I can tell you more, I will.

Pray she be in a good place.

My gosh, I am so sorry, backhoe.

I know you'll keep us posted when you feel more up to it.

Like many here, I'll keep you in my thoughts.

I regret this severely Backhoe, only good things should happen to a fellow like you, not tragedies like this.

Knew another great fellow like you, he had married and lost one after the other, three wives.

My first died so young and so hard so many years ago, and I really did not expect something like this again.

Like most couples, we joked about "who goes first..." Not so funny, now.

Her brother and his wife just left, and really, there's little more to say at this point. The coroner will call when he knows something more.

I just hope it was so fast she didn't feel fear, or suffer any.

I am sure it was this way, and if one has to go, this has always been the best way to leave this temporal existence.

I'm absolutely stunned. My sorrow extends beyond words I can possibly write. I'm so very sorry.

My deepest sympathies to you. God rest her soul

If there is anything at all we can do, please send me an email.

Terrible news BH. Quite shocking. I hope that you find your way through this bad stretch. This is where faith and real beliefs are so valuable.

Generally is such tragic situations, homilies/tributes are paid to the one who has left this temporal existence. I knew little about MIss Emily, but all I needed to know was that if she was good enough for Backhoe, she was more than good enough for me or anyone for that matter.

I would say that in my time here, I have come to be very fond of some people from both genders, and Backhoe has demonstrated character that is uncommon and quite admirable. Thus people one knows in that manner who have tragedies in their existence always draws a great effectual impact on those who value such an individual.

I have always tended to focus on those left behind more than the ones who have left this existence and so it is now, all concern and focus is on one individual who is highly valued beyond conceivable worth here, by myself and I am sure by others.

In the praising of excellence I do in my existence wherever I encounter it, in the midst of that, whether it be seen in the magificence and majesty of the mountian peaks, the sublimity of a lake at midnight on a full moon evening, or the simple but awe inspiring sight of a higher elevation mountain glen, resplendent with wild flowers, I can always picture Backhoe as an integral part of such, though in a human form.

There can be no doubt that Backhoe is one of the most loved people here, and rightly so. Thus the touch of tragedy that bows him also bows those who cherish him for who and what he is.

I cannot suffice to use mere words to properly pay tribute to him, or by asociation, Miss Emily. Where there is sorrow, there is sacred ground and there certainly is here in this circumstance. Entering into the fellowship of his sorrow is a natural thing.

We too are stunned at this news and turn of events. Along with others, I had gotten to know Miss Emily a little through your frequent references and her occasional postings.

A valued member of our fellowship has moved on and the ripple is felt from coast to coast to coast. We grieve with you at the loss and grieve for you as a large piece of your life is so dramatically changed.

I pray that the Lord will sustain you in your grief and loss.

Our sincere condolences.
