Please say a prayer for a Morrissey fan

posted by davidt on Monday October 04 2004, @08:00AM

Andrea writes:

My fiance, Bryan Rowley, passed away on Wednesday. He was a massive Morrissey & The Smiths fan and the last gig we went to was to see Morrissey at Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester. Bryan suffered a massive brain haemorrhage on Thursday 23rd September and was on life support for 6 days, fighting for his life whilst the neurosurgeons at Hope Hospital in Salford, Manchester performed 2 operations on his brain to remove some of the blood.

He was my best friend and I wish he was still here. Please say a prayer for him.

Please listen, perhaps, to a tune from JOBRIATH.

I think you are both brave.
So you can get over.
Being Moz/the Smith fan-very thoughtful,
may be he made you listen them-
Trattford cirket in Manchester-
He surely felt happy to have a fiance like you.
We don't know when our life ends
Either long or short, it's important how you could live well.
Nobody could be strong like him.
Keep in mind his fighting spirits.
I think it's OK to cry now,
but I know he's happy when you are happy
and want to see your smiling face.
That's the smith fan I think.
I'm crying-I pray for both of you.
Be brave.
