A Sad Day for Me

Post by 2pigpen » Thu Jan 24, 2019 10:24 pm

it is with sadness that I write about my ex wife and my children's mother
known here in my rants as the Seacow

Her name was Eileen and I just found out she has passed away at age 53
she suffered from Chrons Disease since she was was a teen

I got a frantic call from Cassidy earlier from Australia asking me if
I had been in contact with her recently - I last spoke to her in November
Cass told me that neither she nor Katie Mae had heard from her since before
Christmas... We had the police do a welfare check on her and she was gone :(

We met at Worcster 1987 and married later that year
ultimately she was my tour partner for more than 150 shows
plus whomever else we saw over a 23 year marriage

I can now choose to only remember the good times we had
and not the issues that tore us apart

she was a good person and the smartest person I knew
she was a Microbiologist and did research while working on
the early forms of DNA mapping

Fare Thee Well

maybe some of you recognize her as my original dance partner for many years

She bears it away with the love that the river has taught her.
