Like Loulabelle, it has been several hours for me since hearing the news, and like many of you, I am stunned and searching for words, thoughts to express myself, but not sure there are words, still so much in shock at this loss that my feelings have yet to surface. A good man, a caring friend and father, you are missed, you are loved, may your new home be filled with light and joy! Until we meet again.....

I don't know what to say...except I am stunned and very saddened!

TY for trying to call me PF...it just seemed too early to return the call this morning.

the words are not coming easy to me... I spent the majority of the night awake... trying to piece together my thoughts... when I first read Lilith's post at 8 pm last nite... it was honestly as if I couldn't understand... as I read the first line.. and began the second.. my mind was trying to convince me that she meant that "Skip.. the online persona left us"... I had to read it 3 times as I bawled to realize that losing "Skip" was only part of it... I can only say that Skip touched my life profoundly... that his posts only allowed a glimpse into the man that he was... that his emails and phonecalls opened the view for me... and that I am a better person today for knowing him... for loving him as I did.

There are so many facets to him that so many of you here never had the opportunity to know... the man he was... the sensitive loving caring soul that he kept hidden under the jokes... the loving father that he was... the worthy friend he was... I wish I could have helped him display more of all of that here...

I shall miss this man... this friend... more than these words will ever express... I pray that peace has found him... embraced him... and that somehow he knows in death what he never completely grasped in life... that he is loved... and that he is by far one of the most beautiful loving humans to have ever touched my life....

Thank you Skip... for sharing your time with me... I shall think of you fondly and look forward to the day when I shall finally embrace you.

Jennaflower, that is beautiful.

I didn't sleep at all last night.....thinking of every single special thing he said to me. Hoping I'd wake up from some nightmare.

I miss him so much.

It is hard to express how sad I am to hear that my friend has come to the clearing at the end of the path. To make matters worse I am at work and I am not free to grieve openly, although I don't think I am doing a very good job at pretending I am fine. I have news for anyone that says you can't love someone you've only known online... YOU'RE WRONG!

skip, you will be missed, but I'm sure you know that. I pray that our grief will be lined with a golden light of the friendship we shared with you, and with the silver lining of knowing you are in a better place. May God hold you and keep you until we meet again.

i am so sad to read this, and i am so sorry. i did not know him well, only what he was at pixies, and i've been here such a short time. what i do know is that he was a fun, intelligent and surprising man and i'll miss him. i want to comfort those of you who knew and loved him well. if you need something...

so sorry...
rest in peace, skip.

<----will never be able to hear "that song" again without thinking about a wonderful man, both his Pixies personna and otherwise.

I've had all day to think about this shocking news and I can't say that I feel any different than I did when I first read it this morning. Like (((Lilith))), (((jenna))), (((IWM))), and every one of you, I keep thinking this can't be true...it is just so untimely. Not that any death is timely...but skip was so young and had so much to live for, even if he wasn't totally convinced of that lately.

As Aqua said, it can never be said that you can't love a friend that you've only met online and not in person. I did love skip and I told him so many times. He'd "lol" or "shrug" at me, and I'd relate to him what my mother always instilled in me..."When you love a friend or a family member or your soulmate...tell them often, as you may not have the chance someday". Sure, we had our not so good times...but I was never one to hold a grudge and neither was he and we had just recently renewed our friendship...and for that, I am so happy! That I won't be able to convey to him just how happy I was about our renewal makes me that much sadder. I hate that mourning can seem like such a greedy time in my life. I think skip would understand though...and so I'll forgive myself on his behalf.

I'll miss you my friend! They say to every season there is a time and a purpose. I don't understand the timing, nor do I understand the purpose of your sudden death, but I hope with time it will become apparent and help ease the loss. My utmost sympathies go out to your immediate family...and especially to your precious children! I'll light a candle of love for you and them!

Who knows...maybe we'll bump into one another again in some other time and place and I can get a R/L hug! ((((((((((skip)))))))))))...I'll remember your laughter and the smiles you gave to me and everyone here! Make em smile wherever you may go!

:love:

I was very shocked last nite to learn of Skip's passing. I did'nt get to know him yet since he had gotten back.

Rest In Peace Skip

Grumble 07-06-2004 04:31 PM

I am shocked and saddened by this. I was not close to skip but shared his company at times in chat and read his posts.

My love and deep sympathy to his family and friends
