very sad news

My dear friends,

Philippe (Wookey) has lost his Only son Henry Bondurand after a long struggle with a terrible illness.



I'm devastated as I know both of them since Henry's birth 24 years ago.

A ceremony will be held at his home Church : Eglise Saint Jean Bosco 13009 Marseille, Wednesday at 9:45 am.

If some of you find appropriate to send flowers or gather together to do something for him/them I give you the best Flower shop near that church :

I'm currently helping the family to sort out all the fuss around that terrible news so I will not be of any further help. Philippe does not know about my message, and, as I know him, any reaction from written condolences here, ors sending flowers or anything will be OK. Just dont try to reach him personnally, he is out of forces to answer for now.

I think he will not object about my message. I'm sure someday, he will be happy to see that his friends here noticed he stopped posting for a while and care for him. And I'm sure he will be more then happy to share his passion again in some time to do positive things.

PS I posted here because you are the wisest and the more faithfull members of the forum. I'm too emotionnally implied to take good decisions myself. Just do as you think right (sharing or not with all meme
bers) and We will sort out later with Philippe how to keep this thread, erase it or move it to another section. Maybe an administrator can make it public and Sticky?

I'm really sad about this, my deepest condolences Philippe...
All of us are close to you

Terrible... Condolences Philippe

Credo che nella vita non ci sia cosa più terribile della perdita di un figlio, sentite condoglianze amico mio...

 I offer my sincere condolences to the entire family of Philippe, and I can personally understand what it means to lose someone dear to us because I too have very recently had the same situation.
Life is a very precious gift, when someone interrupts this causes a pain in our hearts that feel the need to be alone to cry in front of our family.
My words are nothing for Philippe, but I want him to be very strong and can react in spite of a situation so sad and very painful.
In this forum I have always wanted to share my interests and to read some good news for my main sporting passion, I never expected to share a day even such a great sorrow as the loss of someone dear to us, but unfortunately, this happened because in real life we must also share the sad news.

Condolences most sincere part of my family for Philippe, he a good and wise person who has always fought to any adversity in life and now needs to hear the people dearest to him.
