My deepest sympathy and empathy Richard; the scenario you've described is always painful and problematic, especially at this time of year. Keep supporting and hugging mate'

Sorry to hear that mate. I'm sure they are glad of your help and support.

My sympathy is with your wife at such a difficult time. Modelling and the forum comes low on your list of priorities at this time. Family first.

[Tim Marlow]

Nothing to apologise for Richard. You have far more important things to deal with, and certainly have my sympathy. We will still be here when you feel able to participate again. Until then, stay strong and stay safe.

Terribly sorry to hear your sad news Richard, my condolences.

As the other guys have said no apologies needed you have got your priorities in the right order, family first everything else can wait.

It never ceases to amaze me what top quality many of the members of this forum are. Even at some of the darkests times they have found the time and desire to post on here with apologies for absense and updates of often very difficult situations. With so much going on in the world that is negative it really restores my faith in human nature. As the lads have said Richard, no need for apologies, take the time you need and I send you and your family my very best wishes at what must be a difficult time.

I feel for you and your wife, Richard. Hope time will heal your sorrows. Please accept my heartfelt condolances.
