I suppose we met at Regine's wedding, but that was a busy day. I think, though, that you were enough older that your little brother held you in awe.<br /><br />I'll bet you knew that!Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16807727819590358834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30017373.post-33485779105019609052011-03-11T16:59:50.113-05:002011-03-11T16:59:50.113-05:00Mike, your tribute to my younger brother, Bill Geb...Mike, your tribute to my younger brother, Bill Gebo, and the treasured friendship that you both shared was outstanding. Reading it has been a balm for my own mourning heart. I just received a hard copy of your blog today in the mail from Bill's widow. I'm Constance Gebo Daily, the eldest sister, who had already graduated and moved away from home by the time you and Bill became best friends. I live in Rockford, IL am on facebook and would really enjoy getting in contact with you. How is that possible? Yes, Mary Faith is still married to Frank.Constance Gebo Dailynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30017373.post-72514251248549609242011-01-02T19:55:44.208-05:002011-01-02T19:55:44.208-05:00Oh Mike, my sincere sympathy.

I'm so sorry for your loss, but thank you for a tribute that I know Bill would have been extraordinarily proud to have read. <br /><br />Any of us should be so lucky as to be remembered so warmly.ronniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14044863062652781155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30017373.post-11286288874953817832011-01-01T16:17:20.885-05:002011-01-01T16:17:20.885-05:00Thanks, Jean -- good thoughts from any tradition a...Thanks, Jean -- good thoughts from any tradition are always welcome. And I'm sure that, whatever happens next and however one qualifies for it, he's in fine shape! There are many, like me, who wish we lived close enough to have been with his family this week. He was a terrific friend to many of us.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16807727819590358834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30017373.post-27283746125313884462011-01-01T03:41:47.638-05:002011-01-01T03:41:47.638-05:00I so understand that kind of friendship.
We have...I so understand that kind of friendship. <br /><br />We have a belief. If a person dies on a 'good' (auspicious?) day, his soul will attain peace. When my Grandfather left us on Sivarathri day, we were told that it is a 'good death'. I'm sure Christmas season also falls under that category...
