Sorry to hear that Elmo.  We all have to go  If I get my choice, in my
sleep would be my pick.

I searched the group for bri and did not find anyone posting here. Was
this someone with cirrhosis?  Was he/she not a candidate for
transplant?

//////////
Bri was a charter member of the webtv hep-c discussion group I started 7
years or so ago, as was Bobby, Juanita and Randy.  It was a particularly
'tight' bunch of merry pranksters and we're all still loyal friends to
this day.  Bri was also known to post in sci med under the handles
'Swamprat' and 'connor'.  He also posted here very occasionally.    
Yeah, he had cirrhosis but couldn't get on the transplant list.  He
never was able to overcome the demons that followed him all his adult
life.  I'm angry that he didn't take better care of himself.  But,
regardless, I love the guy and am going to miss him.  He was a warm,
caring guy that loved his family and friends.

As a tribute to Bri, this Saturday night at 8 pm (CST) I'm going to have
the guitar and amp on, and attempt to play along with John Fogerty's
song 'Keep on Chooglin'.  It was a favorite of Brian's.  Anyone who
would like to join me is welcome.  If you don't have that particular
song, any old CCR tune will do.

I'll join you Elmo. Think I know a few old CCR songs. Think I'll go with
"Who'll Stop the Rain" or "Have You Ever Seen the Rain". So far this new
year has been filled with death, it's got to get better.

When my friend Marty moved along, we spread his ashes to Abanaki spirit
chants all over the Misissaqoi river, flowing into the lake of
Champlain. I have a vid of him, a year before he succumbed and he's
steering his boat, waving to us in the back, kissing his partner, she's
got a fishing rod in her hand, and I dubbed The Ballad of easy rider to
it. Ended it with a sunset from his deck, on the lake with "Into the
Mystic".

For Bri-Kid and Marty
The river flows, flows to the sea
Where ever that river flows, thats where I want to be
Flow, River flow
All he wanted was to be free

I'm having a hard time believing he's gone too, Bobby.  f.ck!!  I'm hurt
as well as angry that he didn't take better care of himself.
Undoubtedly, he'd still be with us if he could say he had 25 years of
sobriety too.  But that was his choice.  We all live and die by the
choices we make.  

Bri's friend that died too was 'Michael'.  Michael's wife was named
'Cindy'.    

You'd see Bri with a fishing pole in his hands alot too.  He had a
special place he'd take his sleeping bag, his guitar, and his fishing
pole and camp for a couple of days fishing for trout.
