JWE -> RE: THE DES!!! (1/6/2012 9:58:04 PM)

Didn't want to pile on the RIP Des stuff on the main forum. He was much too special for that. His avatar said it all, he was an eclectic, inquisitive, comic. A man for all seasons and all points of view. I wish I could have met him, or even talked to him; but alas. Knew he was hurting and did (said) what I could, but to precious little effect. Watching a Brother fade and having no help to offer, is one of the hardest things a person can do. And thus it was with Des. And thus another piece of my heart goes into the beyond, pinned to the soul that I gave it to. Had a requiem Mass said for him. Lied like a rug and told the Archdiocese of Mobile he was Church of England. Lied because, frankly, I don't know what he was. Lied because any sin will be on me, while the Grace will be on Des. Light a candle for the fellow. Even if you are agnostic, just stick your nose into a church and light a stinking candle. It won't hurt you, and it just might help Des. You never know. Ciao. John
