So sorry man.

It was obvious from the way you've always spoken about her that you had a remarkable relationship.

Please look after yourself.

Love,
Pete.

Sorry for your loss TJ.

I met you both once a long long time ago on a Sharki's tour of the Quantocks. You guys were on the tandem and i remember thinking she was nuts to be a stoker on that, but it was obvious that you were the same type of nuts so it all worked perfectly.

Really sorry to hear this; and well done for all the support and love you’ve given her over the last few weeks so she could live her last days on her terms. Look after yourself now.

Ah so sorry to read this TJ.

I've seen loads of your posts about the adventures you've done together and thought that you must've had a fantastic lifestyle and relationship. Not sure what else to say really....if you ever end up in Cheshire there's an open door for you.

So sorry to hear this TJ. Every time I move our tandem out the way (again), I remember a great weekend spent with the pair of you in the Dales. All the best from me and B.

As horrible and painful as it must seem at the moment, at least you know those last weeks were spent on Mrs TJs terms, with the important people around to help. My condolences.

Just shit.

I met yourself and Julie just once: in the middle of Fisherfield when you were handing out sweets to those smelly individuals partaking in the HT550. Thankyou.

Take care and try and remember the good times of which I'm sure there were many over that 42 years.

I’m so so sad to hear this. It was great meeting you both at the tandem weekend in the Dales a few years ago and I can hardly process this news. I was sure we’d have another fun weekend together with the crazy bikes in all our futures. My heart goes out to you.

So sorry to hear that. I was so inspired by your plans and thoughts for the future. Gutted that you are now having to do the next bit alone.
Hope those 42 were as good as they looked from here.

Been following things on Facebook, TJ. Tis rubbish news and you have my deepest condolences.

You have, however, handled it amazingly well from what I've seen and she had the best few weeks that could be hoped for in the circumstances.

Take care of yourself.

Condolences TJ, hate reading threads like this. But seeing that you both had 42 years together and that you both and your friends strived to make the ending as good as you all could are things you should be rightly proud of.

Really sorry to hear this news TJ, please accept my condolences and best wishes, you're in my thoughts. Hope you're doing as best as you can at the moment.

We've spoken on the phone after you instigated the gnusmobile journey but never met you personally, something I'd like to do one day. If you ever need a chat, vent or anything please get in touch. Not saying I can do much but more than happy to listen and help in any way if I can.
