Poor lady. For a child to die is, I thought, the worst thing that could happen.
Mr. J2's younger daughter died 4 years ago from bowel cancer - I can't yet talk about the deep feelings that that engendered. Truly horrific to lose most of your offspring. Poor, poor lady - I had assumed that she had passed away.

[Bathsheba]

Wow! Thanks Wolfie!! Looks like she's still alive then!

@Baldric....that is dated 2004.....she only has one son remaining, Barry.

Ah Barry, he was one of my mom's heart throbs. I think it was that hairy chest and medallion necklace from the Saturday night fever era that did it.

I'll have you know he's still a very handsome man Tone ......;)

She was still alive at the end of 2013. I expect she still is or there would have been a notice on this site, being that it is their family site http://www.brothersgibb.org/familynews.html

[Bathsheba]

Yep, 237, I came across that in my research...;)

Ok Baths, I'll have to take your word on that ;-)

[Bathsheba]

Well you must agree with me that he's a talented musician and songwriter ;)

[tonyav]

I certainly do, Baths.

[Bathsheba]

I saw a very moving interview he did,...he mentioned that when each of the three brothers died, relations between him + them had been strained. Sorry, I know that grammatically that is carp...;)
