[SOC] Tragic news

[Bill Cunningham]

Forwarding tragic news from Katie Bartlett, Paul's wife.

*****Aside from sympathies, she needs some help in cutting off the flood of irrelevant email by removing Paul's address from any lists to which he may be subscribed.   If you send messages of sympathy, please put "for Katie" in the subject line to help her screen mail.*****

Thanks,
Bill C.

Hi guys.

This is Katie on Paul's laptop.

I am sorry to tell you that Paul died peacefully in his sleep in bed at home on Wednesday night.

The "cause of death"  was from a head injury believed to have happened earlier in the day when he fell down in our local village shop. He just went to sleep and didn't wake up.

I am using the laptop so you can still email etc. as before or you're welcome to call (in UK- 01453 843609) if you wish.

As Paul's closest email friends and on the same mailing lists(?)  do you think you or I should send out a general notice of Paul's death and if so should this include funeral arrangements. Should Paul be deleted(?) from these lists as the laptop is  being flooded with messages intended for Paul most of which are irrelevant/meaningless to me and take alot of  time to deal with. I don't want to wade through junk to get to necessary stuff. 

(That seems awfully callous, sorry)


Let me know what you think.

Girls and I are doing ok although it's early days yet.

Katie
