R.I.P Laguna

FranchisePlayer · 2006-12-22 09:46:10

I just wanted to say that my brother Tom past away yesterday because of his cancer. He was also know as Laguna on Boards. It has basically ****ed up our family for good the reason I am posting this is because my family need to decide if family who didn't visit him while was ill should be allowed to come to his funeral.…

I'm sorry for your loss.
I noticed Laguna around and I'm sure he will be missed. He liked anime and star trek so I liked him, and his lovely avatar.
I wish you and your family the best.
R.I.P. Tom.

Deepest sympathies.
I think your parents have made the right decision, let the family come but let them know what you think

I'm sorry to hear that - and I think anyone who wants to pay their respects to your brother should be allowed to.

Sorry for the rant.

I've no idea whatsoever what you're going through at the moment, and haven't read any of the responses in this thread, so maybe this has already been said. You have my deepest sympathies, I really can't say anything more than that, I've never experienced anything like this so I can't really say that I know how you're feeling or anything, but, in my opinion, if somebody wants to go to a funeral, they should go and be allowed to go. It shouldn't be a case of allowing or not allowing certain people to go, if somebody wants to pay their respects IMO (I can't stress that enough), they should be allowed to. Just my two cents on the issue, I really don't have any experience in these matters and have no idea of the details of the whole situation, but I really hope it works out for you.

That's a real shame. Sorry for your troubles. I remember his posts in different fora on boards over the last couple of years and he struck me as a decent and enthusiastic fella. Your parents did the right thing.

So sorry for you and your familys loss. I know how you and your family feel. As we had the same problem when my sister died of cancer. We decided not to let them come to the funeral and wake. But some did and caused a huge scene. I think it would be best to allow them. The last thing you need is a group of pissed or and hurt people turning up the night of the funeral.

Anyway if you feel you need to talk about this. Ive been in the sae posisition you have. Just drop me a pm if you need to talk to someone on the outside who has no objections either way.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I worked with Tom in Tesco's and he was a pure dote. He had such a dry sense of humour, when he used to come down to the fridges we'd do sweet F all but laugh. Myself, my sister and brother all benefited greatly from knowing him. My biggest regret was not being able to attend the funeral but I have been out to the grave since. My sincerest sympathies to you and your family. If you need to talk pm me anytime. If I'm not on I'll pm back. *HUGS* RIP Tom.

For those of us that didn't have Laguna's taste in football, apparently this post is on-topic.
