Juan Montealegre: known by some and know by the masses. Eternal peace and comfort be with you Juan. As for those who you left, may your eternal peace and comfort, comfort them and give them peace.

I lost a close friend to cancer last year but can only imagine a small part of what you both have been through. Now Juan’s pain is over, he will be at peace now.

Barbara and I are devastated by your tragic loss. We had been so excited for you that Gussie would be coming to Chicago. We wish you strength and peace in this time of loss. We will help you through this time in any way you need us.

Madge- I am very sorry to hear the news about Juan. Thank you for sharing such a personal part of your life with us–the listenturds.

I lack any words to help express my complete set of thoughts and feelings but I wish to send you my very best. At the moment all I can offer you is a virtual hug from Germany… so (((hugs)))

“Mourn for me rather as living than as dead.”
-Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.), Greek tragedian.

“Don’t order any black things. Rejoice in his memory; and be radiant…”
– George Bernard Shaw

“Peace, peace! he is not dead, he doth not sleep—
He hath awakened from the dream of life—”
– Shelley

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

-Mary Frye

Gussie/Juan was lucky to have a friend like you to take care of and watch over Her/Him during this battle with Cancer. You made an exception of stopping a lot of your life to do this.

Hopefully you can take on Trot-Zilla and let that part of Gussie/Juan’s Memory live on with you and Chauncy.

oh no…I had a coded comment to go look at your site from mikeypod but I couldn’t imagine this…I’d heard he was ill but…words totally fail me.

big bear hugs to you, Richard. Thinking of you.

I’m so sorry Madge.

I loved the story you related about Gussie being cold, and how she didn’t want anymore blankets, but only you lying next to her.

Pray God you can cope.
I stand outside this woman’s work,
This woman’s world.
Ooh, it’s hard on the man,
Now his part is over.
Now starts the craft of the father.

I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.

I should be crying, but I just can’t let it show.
I should be hoping, but I can’t stop thinking

Of all the things I should’ve said,
That I never said.
All the things we should’ve done,
That we never did.
All the things I should’ve given,
But I didn’t.

Oh, darling, make it go,
Make it go away.

Give me these moments back.
Give them back to me.
Give me that little kiss.
Give me your hand

A lovely picture of one so special and important to you.

Thank you for sharing the way you did on Yeast Radio over the past few months. I fondly recall your story of cuddling with Gussie when she felt so cold.

After I lost my dad I was surprised that I was able to feel some joy for what we had despite the pain and deep sadness. I hope you can find this joy in your heart for all that you shared together as you mourn the loss.

In the coming months, be kind to yourself and we’ll listen to your show just as it is.

Much warmth and regards to you during this season of loss and transition.

Madge,

I am so sorry for your loss. My heartfelt condolences go out to you, your family, and Juan’s family.

Although I am deeply upset and moved by this tragedy, I would like to thank you for sharing your deepest concerns and emotions with your listeners, though I can imagine how hard it must have been.

I would like you to know that we, your listeners, will stand by whatever decisions you choose to make regarding your podcasting duties, and please take as much time as possible to rest and let the emotional healing run its course.

God bless,
Zack

My condolences Madge. I wish you, your friends and family, and all who knew Juan strength to get through this tough time. I wish I had something more profound to say, but all I can say is I’m sorry for your loss.

Mad Scientist 0013 – Loss

Hi guys. I found out today that Richard’s (Madge) partner passed away Saturday. I was completely unaware until today. This is really an audio blog entry, because I talk a little bit about how I feel about this loss and how I deal with it. I don&…

CHEEZES, Madge! For the Clueless listen-turds that thought that Gussie was just friend

I am clueless and had no idea that Gussie was really your Partner so feel a bit out of it on what to say. The things you forget to mention on your podcasts; I didn’t find out that truth till I heard Regan talk about today on his plead-for-flight-fare podcast.
I feel even worse now.
