Condolences to the Hughes family
Saddened to hear that this young 25 year old has passed away. He will be greatly missed.
R,I,P,SUCH A WASTE OF A YOUNG LIFE,
...Gonna get my gorgeous furry Fox ears pulled for this comment no doubt - BUT - taped the funeral today (was out) but friends contacted me - phone /text etc. - "you gotta watch - gotta watch" blah blah blah........
Flipped thru' it when I got home - felt for Michael Clarke and his farewell speech ............ sad ... :-( Elton John's song - nice .....
HOWEVER ......I was totally appalled at the following scenario ...
The poor poor parents who had to walk that distance to get to their front seats! Dear Mum being held up by Dad .....(No side entrance for them??) Disgusting!
No air-cond. in the hall? Could have done something about that? It cost hundreds of thousands of dollars anyway? Didn't anyone think of that?
and the "Finale' " Sooooooooooooooooo sad .........
DAD - (weak at the knees as it was - and - could hardly put two steps before him!! ) with his beloved son's casket on his shoulders - for what would have seemed MILES - MILES........for him.........the long walk from the front of the hall - thru' the school grounds and into the street..............the longgggggggg walk down the street....... where was the hearse? - where????? Miles down the freakin' street!!!!!
WHY - WHY - wasn't the Hearse at the end of the school walkway where the street started??? Why did this poor poor Father have to carry his son the length of a suburban street? Any minute - I was waiting for one of these dear men to pass out/faint - the poor things - and - in that heat???
APPALLING!!!!!!! Just saying .................
I have known a couple of guys who have carried caskets - the dents/bloodied scrapes in their shoulders last for weeks! The "pain" never leaves them......the weight of the caskets apparently is unbelievable ...........I was amazed the casket today - was carried that far!! ?
Good onya Dad - you did it !!!!! xox
