It seems it’s goodbye to everyone.

Spent weeks in hospital and hospice with no real prospect of getting home let
alone reopening a store.

Very emotional moment as it’s recognising that it’s all over, primaririly for
home, family and friends.

Thank you to all who’ve made it such a great time.

Will communicate until thet becomes impossible, please stay in touch as I don’t
want everyone to just vanish.

Sorry to hear this Stuart, I knew you were very sick but went through it as good
as possible.
It was always nice to see you on the forum, no matter if it was regarding a question,
a remark, something funny or news regarding your illness.

I wish we were closer and could come over and visit you and have some AFOL conversations.
I am still hoping the best. You have always been nice and helpful.

Like to see that somewhat iconic BL ID card pic of you and your daughter's
dog. If we could see that, once more, that would be great. Kinda miss it...

Dear Stuart and family,

it saddens us all to read these once more kind words.
Beit words of goodbye....

A solid pillar must embark on it's final journey in this realm.

To play well, one needs to live well.
I'm sure you did both.

Indeed, we do miss your real ID picture, it was always a warm welcome when entering
the forum.

I trust you will have a carefull and loving transition to the next realm....

Warm and loving regards,

Gert-Jan

I feel for you Stuart. A year and a half ago my world felt as if it was falling
apart, but the skill and training of our doctors pulled me through. There were
several on my ward who moved on and we knew we not be in contact with again,
but all were in good humour.

I wish you all the best whatever the outcome.

I am really sorry to hear about this. You are very strong to talk with us and
face it as it is. I've always enjoyed your presence here in the Forum and
you sharing your knowledge of Lego things with us.

I think of you and those lovely images you shared of the stormy seas near your
home.

Take care,
~Jen

Stuart,

Death comes for all of us. I'm sorry to hear that he is coming for you now.
Keep him at bay as long as you can. You are a great contributor to this community
and will be sorely missed. Enjoy your family and friends for as long as you can.
