Y I’m sorry. Staying at Blogit might help your grief. Put it into your selection of funny photos and captioning them. Maybe you can continue your other posts. BC-A, Bill’s R®st

I'm sad for his loss. I do remember quite awhile back he read my blogs. I wondered what had happened to him. I'm glad you were there for him.

It is with shocked surprise and great sadness that I read this and struggle with appropriate words of condolence to you in your grief. What a loss is the passing of Joe_Love. Even though he has not been writing on Blogit, I always watched for surprise entries and expected for him to return at any time. He always made me feel special by reading what I wrote and leaving me positive comments and tokens of appreciation. I know this must be so difficult for you and for his family. You are, and will be, in my thoughts and prayers and I hope you will stay around here and count us among your special friends as you suffer this great loss. God bless you.

OMG I had no idea of your friendship, so sorry to hear of his passing. He helped me on many occasions to try and do some fancy stuff here, but I was a slow learner, he was a great teacher though. I dont know what else to say.

Damn, CD...I can't tell you how sorry I am to hear of this.
You certainly have my prayers for what they're worth.
I know you're wondering what to do about being here -- but I've found that it's like any other community -- come and go as you please, knowing you will be missed when you're gone and welcome when you're back.
Godspeed, Joe. What a great guy, great intellect, hell of a sense of humor. Such a spirit leaves a void in any world, virtual and real, when it ascends.
Take care.

My sincere condolences, Corbin
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss of such a true friend.
I didn't know him well, but he commented to my poetry on occasion and I also visited some of his posts occasionally. He seemed to be a very nice person.
My heart goes out to all his family and friends now suffering this terrible loss.

Please dear one, know that I am so sorry. I am praying for you. I never knew him or read him but he was blessed to know you and now he is beginning an eternal blessing none of us can comprehend. Be blessed. I am selfish. I don't want you to go!

When I read / hear about someone close passing.. I wonder why the world doesn't just stop. It seems so callous to keep walking , eating and breathing..
yet I know.. it happens.. and I am so saddened to read this.. Joe Love is one of the people I love most about Blogit. Such a fantastic soul.. such a sweet heart of a man. Please accept my sincere wishes for God's Peace to envelope you and all who know and love.. Joe Love.
~Peace, Rhonda

I don't think you need to decide anything about Blogit
Just be how you need to be, and know you can be here. Thank you for sharing what happened. It can't have been easy. I looked up my email and found some emails Joe and I exchanged in 2005. Sure glad I didn't empty the basket. I think it was his humour that drew me. He was a scream. And a very good writer. I am so very sorry for your loss. Stay, because here there are people who have some idea of who you have lost. Though I imagine he will be calling right down to you.

Re: Corbin
Bel, darlin' this is a very trying week.....I am staying as busy as possible to keep my mind occupied....I just spent 4 hours at the funeral home just going over paperwork and details....Joe's family has been really good with allowing my suggestions and opinions.
I'm still chuckling at you comment about similarities.......I remember one time when I though for sure you had nailed me big time.....I had commented about having 6 dogs and you were on it....but you didn't drive it home!
We unanimously agreed....no suit for Joe! He wasn't a suit kind of guy.......
I got a notification tonight that one of our organizations that we provide yearly trips to, sent out a flash bulletin to it's 17,000 members telling them about Joe.....Our email server is going down.....the comments are overwhelming......I know Joe's grinnin' from ear to ear.

I don't think I knew Joe from Blogit, Corbin, but this post is a loving eulogy from a caring friend. It makes me feel regret for not having known him. I certainly hope you decide to stay in Blogit. I, among many others, I'm sure, would definitely miss reading you. If a hug will help, you have mine.

I agree with Pat. Please don't leave. I know that Blogit sometimes seems like a harsh place but please also remember there are many here who love you.
There is no way to take your pain away but know that we are here to support you and just love you. Let us be there for you as the both of you have been there for so many of us.

I'll say a prayer for him, and for you, too.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Please don't leave Blogit. At least not for awhile. Take some time to adjust to the changes. I loved Joe's mind, his kindness. If he had to leave, I'm glad he left in a place where he was loved and cherished. There were times he's been so like my own son, who's just turned 39 and has been in a loving partnership for more than 13 years. I'm sending a huge hug your way.

I always found it interesting when both you and Joe described your jobs that they were almost the same thing. I am not surprised he was both your friend and business partner.
Joe, was a gift in my life, as you have been. Two amazing southern gentleman that have touched my life in such a way, that I will never be the same.
This loss is devastating to me, as so many times since my return, I have looked to see if he was back here. I have missed him and was hoping to reconnect.
Most don't know that, but Joe is one of the very few people who knew EVERYTHING that went down between Carl and I...including the night he sat up with me online and helped me just get through the night without going crazy.
His generosity of spirit, his heart and his humor, touched me deeply. His friendship was a gift and one I will always treasure. I loved Joe, I am not sure he knew that or even how much but I loved him and saying I will miss him doesn't even begin to put into words the heartbreak that I will right now.
God Bless You Both.
Heaven has one more angel to welcome today. Maybe we will all get lucky and and we will have Joe as our guardian angel.
As for you Corbin,
There are not words to offer to you for your loss but you know my email is always open and if need be, I am merely a phone call away, just let me know.
Much love to you always my dear friend.

I'm totally blown away by these revelations, Corbin...
And heartbroken; I remember the comments he would leave on my poems; always honest yet positive, if he didn't understand, he would say so...Deepest condolences and yes, prayers - you have, Blogit has and the world has lost a wonderful human being, but heaven has gained a very special soul. Take care..
