cptdes 6 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 IT IS WITH A SAD HEART THAT i HAVE TO INFORM YOU ALL THAT JOHN Jobber's WIFE IS GRAVELY ILL. John's wife Sue is gravely ill in hospital and doctors have informed him that the end is near. Family have flown to Tasmania to be with him, in this his darkest hour. A lot of you may never have met or dealt with John (jaje) but he is one of the kindest, nicest, people you could ever come across in the Flight sim world He sent Jane and I a message last night asking us to call him asap and we had a feeling it was about Sue as she has been ill for some time. I replied and said I would call him first thing this morning due to the time diff between us. This was his reply... I probably won't be home - but it is bad news. Sue is desperately ill, and the doctor says that she is very close to the end - not responding to antibiotics at all, and her heart is giving up on her. I'll let you know later in the day. Our eldest daughter is flying in this morning, so I'm going to the hospital early, then down to pick up Samantha at Devonport. John and I are like brothers and I could not have a better friend in this world. I am gutted that I cannot be with him right now to give him support so I ask all of you to keep him and Sue in your thoughts while he goes through this, as I have done. He has not been answering the phone all today so I am assuming he is still at Sue's bedside Kindest regards to all Des Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rob Abernathy 860 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I remember Jaje as a long time simmer. Sorry to hear about his pending loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to him.
