Three scriptures came to mind as I read These post from you friends the first is Proverbs 22:1 “A good name is to be chosen rather than great wealth;To be respected is better than silver and gold.” You my friend have that kind of name, because of you care, concern, and love of others.

The second and most important is Ecclesiastes 7:1 “A good name is better than good oil, and the day of death is better than the day of birth.” This refers to ones name or reputation, not just with mankind but even God will that good name will be remembered, and when the time comes your resting in the sleep of death will short. Because, As Luke 20:38 states, “ He is a God, not of the dead, but of the living, for they are all living to him.”

However in spite of these thoughts, I am not writing off yet, you crazy old’ Irishman, hope you beat their timetable and hang around. We enjoy your company.

Your friend Rob


Dearest Rob and Patsy, Just when I thought that I had my waterworks under control with a plethora of Depends and nappies and Kleenex tissues, Callie emailed to say that I needed to read today's comments and I'm glad I did.

I have grown to love my PG Family over the nearly 20 years since first posting. This is the most knowledgeable bunch of wonderful writers and musicians that one could ever hope to have met, all of whom hung their egos at the entry door. Several could easily swap theory with anyone at 1000 paces.

Rob, we entertain the same hope so I truly expect to see both you and your lovely wife Patsy in the not to distant future on a cleansed paradise Earth.

I had the privilege of seeing you both in a recent Zoom meeting at Kelly's home. I hope to see more such meetings, time and circumstance permitting. I noticed that both of you really enjoyed the fine fellowship as did everyone enjoy cyber-meeting both of you from the East Coast.

This thread has been a prayer answered - much better than straining to read them on my headstone. ( Chortle )

Thanks so much, dear friends.

Donny
