Classic Finn and Family,
My heartfelt condolences on your loss.
When my Dad passed 10 years ago March 12th, I received the following poem from a friend. It helped me, and I hope that it might help you, as well.

When God sends forth a tiny soul
To learn the ways of earth
A Mother’s love is waiting here
We call this wonder BIRTH

When God calls home a tired soul
And stills a fleeting breath
A Father's love is waiting there
This too is BIRTH not DEATH



Please realize that though you feel his loss here on earth, that he continues to LIVE, protecting you and yours and exercising faith on your behalf.

Again, my condolences.

Heikki ,Suvi & family,
I too am sorry to hear of your loss. Each of us handle grief in different ways and you will find yours. Having friends and family to share with will help. You can always post here or PM anyone of us. There is little one can say to sooth your suffering but we can all listen.

I lost my sister last year and still have alot of sadness from time to time, she was 1 1/2 years older than I so we were very close and I find spending lots of time with her kids or talking to them seams to make me feel at ease. She was only 43 and it seamed unfair to take her from us and her children. But I laugh at all the great memories we had. So my heart goes out to you and remember the good times and the things he left behind for all of his loved ones.

Dear friends,

I couldnt hold this in any longer, the pain seems to be unbearable..


Today our flag flies at half mast.....To honor our Grandpa and loving
Father..



This morning at 0900 we received a telephone call from 600 kilometers
away... Hospital staff said that Our Beloved Grandpa and father of my wife Suvi passed away after a bad heart attack last Friday.. And Medical Staff had revived him for 39 minutes in total...he was unconcious since then however breathing on his own.. The damages he sustained were extensive.. Had he lived ... he would of been in a vegetable state...

We have never experienced this great loss and we are not experienced
in coping with this at all..

How do you - If you have lost a loved one - gotten over the deep sadness that seems so unbearable...

Just had to ask

From a saddened heart and saddened family

My heart goes out to you, Heikki and Suvi. Losing loved ones is one of the most painful things in life. Both of my parents are gone and I still miss them. More than anything I wish I could spend a few hours talking to them around the kitchen table. I believe that one day I'll be rejoined with them.

Heikki, you and yours will be in my prayers tonight.

On the same note, The other Teardroper from Manteca is in Nevada to lay his dad to rest. His dad died on Monday.

A very wise man told me after the death of my brother that I would never stop missing him but in time it would not hurt so bad,he was right
and the pain was replaced with wonderful memories

My heart felt condolences to you and yours

Heikki,

I can't add much in words that hasn't already been said, But know that I too will keep your family in my prayers.

Heikki & Suvi,
That first loss is tough at first. The involutary change that is forced upon us is hard... No more going back for one more visit or one more meal together.
Take some time and mourn at his passing, but know he is in a better place... not here suffering.
Hang on to the good memories and gaurd them in your heart.
I think Suvi will be doing some reflecting during and after the mourning and will have a heightened awarness of the many good things she picked up from him.
I send big hugs of comfort to you both.

Finn,

My condolences to you and your family.

My Dad grew up on a large family farm on the Canadian Prairies. One day after a funeral when I was a kid I asked him why everyone got together after the funeral where there was always lots of food and people seemed to be having a good time visiting. He said to me, they wern't mourning someones death, but celebrating their life.

Take care.

Heikki, Sorry to hear of your families loss.

Heikki, Suvi and Family, sorry to here about your loss. I too like the others share the loss; I of both of my parents and grandparents. It sometimes seem so short time when I talked to them or had a meal with them. Chris said above that there good times are remembered long after there are away from us. This time is so short till we all meet again. I to reflect back many times the years afterwards and it gives me a warm feeling inside the sage advise given by them. You will always remember the good times.
