Which Is Harder? Burying a Bandmate or Girlfriend?
« on: January 06, 2012, 07:55:21 PM »
I have to do both next week.

My guitarist/ex-GF who I played with for almost 20 years and lived with for 15 of those.

She died New Years Eve when she went to play a get-together with old friends...felt ill, laid down and never woke up. Sad. Hell of a guitarist.

Reading your comments on the photos you posted shows how much you felt for her and also how fun she must have been as a person and friend. I'm truly sorry for your loss, Jon.

Sorry for your loss. :sad: Hell of a way to start the new year. Seems like I've heard more bad news to start this year than ever before.
