So sorry John. My condolences to you and your family.
Please PM me if you feel the need to talk over the next months/years. The journey ahead is different and emotional at times.
Again my condolences
Mike

I'm really sorry to hear this John.

There are no words for this.

Yep, at my work a year ago we had a tragic loss when a really lovely person was diagnosed with terminal cancer and three months later we were at her funeral. It shocked everyone.
My response was the future is unpredictable so don't delay making those important decisions, and love the ones you're with, as the song says. Money doesn't buy happiness.

Thoughts and payers with you John.

Marcus and Leeanne, Jan sent you an email to the address you gave me. Did you get it? She was very grateful for the effort you made. If you didn't get it I will re-send it. She was very upset that you didn't meet her that day. I will remember you always for what you did that day. I will get to a Wombat again one day. We can chat then.

AULRO is incredible. I love this place.

John.........................the pain and gut wrenching feeling is the worst sensation you can have, I have never gotten over it after all these years even though I have remarried (happily I might add, but that is a different story) and I REALLY know what you are going through. My thoughts are with you at this dreadful time and hope you have the strength to carry on with life.

RIP Jan, you are now at peace!!!!!

I have so much to say, things that came from this post... When the dust settles I will try and respond, but don't hate me if I don't.

Mere words are not enough , only time will ease the grief. Even then , a smell, a sound , some small thing will bring the memories back. She will always be with you, I pray the burden of grief will not be too heavy to carry on the road ahead. Stay strong, John.

All good John, it was our pleasure. We didn't think we were going to see her on the day anyway,, much more important for family first.
Yes, I did get the email thank you, lovely words too. Reminded me of words from my own parents, which didn't have the effect I was quite ready for upon reading.

We'll catch up soon John, take care.

Marcus & Leeanne.

It's kinda weird. Jan was NOT a LR girl. She came with me, but insisted on getting out if we crossed a creek. She hated hills, such as we get at Wombat, when we get the right leader.

She never met any of you, and yet she gets visitors from this forum. Marcus, and Leeanne, Jan was really sad that she missed you. She sent you an email, but you should have come in. That was my fault, I apologise, I was not doing so well.

Mark, she never met you either. However, she knew how much I love this forum. She was particularly astonished by how there was money raised from people she had never met. She came to understand that a LR is more than a car, it's a life. Not a life she wanted, possibly, but a life she would accept if she must.

I think she was most astonished by the love that this forum engenders. It is not about the cars. Jan was not into cars. It was about the people. There is a love here. I know, because she would have dismissed this place if there wasn't.
