Sher took her last breath at 5:30 this morning. From both of us, thank you for all the kindness and support you've directed our way over the past several years as she fought on. I'll be forever grateful, as she was until the end..

Stay well yourself. Difficult times, yes, and hopefully soon the sadness you endure now will fade and the wonderful times you had together will prevail.

Alan, so very, very sorry for your loss. I only knew Di through your posts and her too-infrequent vocal turns, but I know she was something special. Wishing you peace as you mourn her passing and celebrate her life. Ron

Please take care of yourself.
May Di will rest in peace knowing that she was loved.

Alan,
I'm sorry for your loss as well as the loss to your family and friends.
I also believe Di's passing is a loss to forum members. Di was a lovely singer.

Hi Alan. I'm so sorry to hear this news. It is never easy losing those we love. Although I only knew Di through the Users Showcase forum, I will never forget her. She was a wonderful person and a wonderful singer. I hope that life's burden eases for you as time passes and that you are able to celebrate all your good memories. Sending you and your family many healing thoughts, --Noel P.S. Right now, it's after midnight and I'm sitting here listening to the song that you and Di inspired me to write back in 2018. As you probably remember, this song came about as a result of my reading your and Di's comments on Users Showcase. From those comments, it was very clear to me that you loved and respected one another greatly. https://soundcloud.com/noel-adams/so-beautiful

Alan,
I too am sorry for your loss and truly feel your pain. May God bless her and watch over you.
I do not know you or Di and do not listen to the showcase. I seldom even visit here much any more. But today I will seek out your showcase songs and have a listen for my own admittedly selfish and personal reasons.
Again heart felt condolences

Alan,
Bud and I are sending you and your family much love and are so sorry. Yours and Di’s devotion to one another was evident and that love survives for all of us in your songs together. Her voice was inspiring and I could almost see the twinkle in her eye as I listened to her singing.
Peace to you in the coming days,
J&B

Thanks, everyone. Your thoughts and comments mean a lot. The prayers and good wishes that were offered have made a difference.
I'm doing reasonably good, I think. This big ole four-bedroom, three-bath house seems a lot bigger without her. But it was the house of her dreams. We had it custom-built to her wishes. I kept my mouth shut and let her pick out everything she wanted, just the way she wanted it. For the record, she had impeccable taste.
Again, thanks to all of you. You're all extended family for me.
Alan

John,
We've crossed paths here at the PG Forums but a few times. However, I've read almost everything you have posted and have become a better musician and composer as a result. Thank you for your insights.
And I appreciate your kind words about Di's passing. Prayers always appreciated.

Alan,
My heart is sorrowful for you! I have nothing but caring and sympathetic thoughts for you and your loved ones! You and Di have been through such a long and tough battle together! I believe she is at peace and waiting in a wonderful place for you to one day join her! I pray the Lord's blessings and peace will cover you now and give you what you need today!
Take care my brother, Torrey

Good Morning Alan,
I've only become aware of Di's death in the last minute or so.
You are there, were there and have been with Di through more battles than a Roman Legion and through each you found positives to lighten the load, to help raise both your heads in hope.
Your muse is still with you in ever memory and every moment.
I hope you've the strength for the next phase and after ward as well.
Thinking of you, listening to your music.
Look after yourself.
Cheers

Dear Alan
What very sad news to read coming back to the forum after quite a break. May Di rest in peace, no longer in pain. Take care and look after yourself. You must be exhausted. You always struck me as a wonderful and loving couple with a exceptional bond due to a shared love of creating music. That was so precious and I hope it will bring you some solace in this terrible time for you.
