Raise a glass to absent friends here.

(Or even, raise several glasses to several absent friends ... but I won't be picking you up if you end up falling-over drunk in the process!!)

You can be serious, you can be daft, I don't mind in the slightest - and no one else will either.

I'd like to lift a glass to those friends that have trod these boards before, and will not anymore, particularly those we lost this summer. Thank you for all the mirth and frivolity.
You are sadly missed.

I raise my glass -
Jean, Steve, June, Clive, Sue, Gaynor, Snow White.

I'll raise my glass to a friend who was cremated yesterday.

She was a very bubbly, happy lady in her 80s until her sudden demise. I am sure she would have had a good laugh at the hearse having to be towed to the crematorium when it was stuck in the snow and ice!

Cheers.

I raise my glass to 2 lovely men who left us this year, my father in law who died in June and my brother in law who died in September.
Cheers to them, both very special.

Ann

To my mum and dad ...

I would like to echo Joy and raise my glass to:
Jean, Steve, June, Clive, Sue, Gaynor, Snow White.

And also to echo Julia and raise a second glass to those wonderful cyber friends (and those I have met) who have left these boards for one reason or another, too many to name now.

And a third glass of red to my special friends who is absent without wanting to be. Come back soon Daff my friend.

Yes Ann, we should have a point on a certain date that we all charge our glasses to our dearest friend Daff, absent without leave, when we need her the most.
God Bless Our Daff (get better soon babes)

Kitty, thinking of you too, what a devastating day for you.

Absent friends.....XX BC

Kitty - how dreadful for you - am sending thoughts. I have many thoughts but I do miss Linda daily, it is nearly six years now - a very very dear friend.

For my Ian. You live on with every goal the Toon scores, every time I stand by the sea, every time I'm in Barcelona, and with every breath I take.

Our day will come again.
