Kate, thank you for sharing that with us. Everyone has already said what I feel. I have been deleting my posts as they all sounded so lame. I just wanted to send my best wishes for you and your family. Big hugs to you all.

Really moving tributes, Kate. You are truly a credit to Jim and your girls.

JuniperDewdrop · 12/09/2004 09:10

Kate, thank you so much for being able to put Jim's tributes on for us to read. It's lovely to be able to know part of him. I feel very sad after reading them and have tears running down my face but I can also feel the love that you all shared and that feels warm.
Many hugs to you and the girls xxxxxxxx

Gingerbear · 12/09/2004 09:18

I knew your husband had died, but until now I didn't realise how.
Words can never convey enough feelings. I am glad for you that you have so many lovely memories of a wonderful husband and dad.

Hugs from all of us to all your family. xxx

Kate - thanks for sharing those tributes. I can't imagine coping with such a huge loss. Like others have said, words seem inadequate. I'm struggling and failing to find something to say that reflects the depth of my sympathy adequately. Sending big hugs to you and the girls.

spook · 12/09/2004 09:20

Thankyou for sharing that Kate. Words are not enough.Yesterday must have been crippling for you. But you did it-you got through it and a very very happy belated birthday to your little 5 year old Caroline. Much Love XXXXXXXXXXX

Thinking of you Kate - I too had no idea what you had been through. The tributes to your husband were very moving.

Freckle · 12/09/2004 14:48

Kate, I read those articles and am numb. How on earth do you cope with such sadness and yet such joy on the anniversary of your little girl's birth? I am in awe of what you have been through.

oiseau · 12/09/2004 15:12

Kate you are one brave lady. Words are not enough - lots of love to you all.
