Thanks for posting this Rose - I know it couldn't have been easy. I knew he had been ill - but apparently, I didn't know how ill.
I think I'm still in shock - 37 seems way too young. I'm not sure how sentimental he'd have wanted us to get - he wasn't known as the "LB" for nothing ^_^; - and I can't think straight right now - so I'll just leave it that he'll be truly missed.
