Family Sorrow..
Thursday, September 22, 2005 by Valhalla | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
To my friends in the skinning comunity who knew...
My brother who was diagnosed with Motor Neurone disease (ALS in the US I believe) died 2 weeks ago after being ill for 3 years aged just 42.
It was all very peaceful and dignified and I would like to thank you all for your continual support.
God Bless

ALS is such a cruel thing for someone to be inflicted with. If you get a chance Kev, check this link out, really very touching. It's the site of a fella called Jason Becker.
He was regarded as one of the greatest guitarists in the world, and in the late 80's he landed a gig as the guitarist for Dave Lee Roth, only to find out a week later he had ALS. He's now totally paralysed, and can't speak, all he can do it move one of his fingers and mnior parts of his face, has to breath through a tube, and be fed through one too, yet he's fighting on, and still composes music. It's very inspirational stuff, the guy just has you in awe:
