I thought Mel might post before she left for her hometown, but since she didn't, I'll post a little info.

Earlier, Mel posted her dad was ill.

He passed away on Friday very suddenly. She has gone across Texas to be with her family.

She said she was taking her laptop, so she'll probably be checking in.

I figured all of her online friends would want to be supporting her in prayer during this difficult time.

I hope you don't mind, Mel, but it wasn't going to take long before everyone started looking for you.

Mel,
You and your family are in our prayers. We are so very sorry for your loss.

With love,

Fluke, Flukette, Fluke Jr., Baby E.

Mel, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad.

Love and hugs sista.

Suz

Dear God, Please help our very dear friend, Melody to get through this sorrowful time. Please, dear God, will you also let her know that she is not alone right now, and that all of her friends on MB are supporting her and praying for her right now. Please let her feel our arms around her in her time of need.

My very best to you Melody, Carnation

Hi Folks, thanks much for your prayers and your kind words. I am going to miss that old fart, but am very glad he got to die at home like he wanted. He has put me through he11 these past few weeks with his antics [running off the nurses, smoking with his oxygen on, complaints from the nursing agency that he was smoking marijuana] but now it's God's turn to put up with his foolishness. Good luck, God, you will need it! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I was thinking of getting my dad back now that I have him completely at my mercy. He hated suits and he hated religious zealots, so I thought about burying him in a blue polyester suit and asking Jerry Falwell to officiate his funeral. **snort**

Mel -

OOOOOOO!!! & your Dad would be lookin' down at you if you did that, just a fussin' and screamin'!

sounds like God is definitely going to have a roudy one up there in Heaven!!

Glad to hear from ya! You sound great!!

Kim

Mel, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Had a snort and a chuckle at you getting back at your dad! Wicked. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

BINGO!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

You know what? Several of his ex-wives are going to be there, this should be most interesting. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

SEVERAL?

You're right, it SHOULD be most interesting!

This is weird ... this thread has me laffing and crying at the same time ...

thanks a-lot MEL

I did not realize your Daddy was Kinky Friedman's cousin ... that 'splains YOU

Thanks, RiverTam.

Yes, there were several, 7 or 8. He was quite the ladies man. Even in his last years, he had a girlfriend, to our astonishment.[of course he is not that old, only 66] His current gf worked at our bank when I was a kid and has been chasing my father all these years. Well, she finally got him!

Think Kinky Freidman and add some craziness. Can you believe I come from that?? Most little girls went to the park with their daddies, we went to the bookies or the Top Hat bar!

STOP IT !!!!!!!

I am crying and laffin and my bladder had too much caffeine

... thanks for that comment Mel ... in 10 years I will be 66 .... and "not that old"

I wish I could be there in one of your meetings when you are guest speaker ... and you do the "where I came from" part of your share .... OMG

Melody - Good to see that you are hanging in there. Prayers to you and your family.

Mel-

My condolences on the loss of your father.

You seems to be handling it well, you're an amazing woman Mel!!

My prayers are with you.

God Bless,

-Caren

Melody, I'm so sorry about your Dad. BTW, what does Jerry Falwell charge to officiate at a funeral?

Mel,

I'm soooo sorry Mel... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Gosh, with your rowdy Dad and my feisty Mom up there, God has His hands full!!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Mel

My heart goes out to you my friend. I am praying for you. Glad to see you are doing as good as your are. God bless.

WOL

******, add my parents to the mix...and they be havin' a grand ole party! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

With the bookies, and the wild women, and the dancin'. Can you imagine??? Yes, God does have his hands full!

Luv you Mel!

Shoot, H E double thoothpicks isn't a swearword!!!! Why does it get bleeped out of here?

((((MEL)))))

How many ex's !!!!!! Amazing. When they are all together, perhaps you can ask each of them their favourite/worst memory of your dad. I'm sure they'd have some interesting tales to tell.
God bless, TT

If they are all there, they may just stand and point at each other... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
