Hello everyone!

I just translate the messages that I had not read the last three days and I am ... K.O. Standing ...

I really do not know what to say as I am overwhelmed by emotion and pride to have "meet" all of you and just be part of this wonderful family that are rootchatters.

Lynne,
What a fabulous work you did...

Annie, my good star,
without you nothing would happen...

Robert, my dear Robert,
Wait for me please, we have now two rendez-vous, the first on your resting place... the second, in the middle of nowhere, for a warm handshake...

Michel

Words cannot say how I feel

I have read this thread from the start and sadly like a lot of us i couldn't help
But its so great to think that so many of you Rootschatters have taken the time and hard work to see this through to the end
looking forward to seeing pics of Roberts head stone up in place and also hope to pick up the story on line when the echo prints it

Well done once again all of you

Michel. Your email moved me to tears, thank you from the bottom of my heart for finding so diligently Robert , may he RIP with a smile on his face. Knowing that the people he gave his life for ultimatley, appreciate his sacrifice.
Michel I salute you. I think we now have to get in touch with the "Bethune Echo" and pass on the thanks and praise you so deserve.
I look forward to your visit to Roberts grave with your many rootschat friends.
Goodnight Godbless.
