When all is said and done

Post by Warwick-Lowlight »

Well chap and chapets

The story goes like this
my Mom has just died from Cancer

We as a family knew this all along and have dealt with it as all families do

all I have to say is:::: find that barnfind ,fix up that old family car or someone elses , and have a joll while yr doing it

I have a 61 splittie that my girls have named "blu" as it is BLUE

there is a story on this forum that is named Warwicks Splittie



I have something that all us Air lovers always want but there is nothing in the world that can replace all that my Mum gave to me




So for all of you that have met me and all that I'm yet to meet


For the love of Aircoolllllllleeeed
I now remame the bus of my dreams and the mom of my dreams together




":""""""" Blu - Jean """"




Till we trip down the road again


ALL my love to All

Warwick - Lowlight

Sorry to hear of your lose, but with the effort you put into restoring the bus, you will always have a sense of the effort your MOM put into making your life pleasurable and unforgettably.

Boy what a tribute,
Here's to your MOM.
May she rest in Joy.
