Can't stop crying but want to think that it was better for him, that his life would not be the same after the surgery, that being such a cheerful and active person his new condition would have make the smile in his eyes vanish slowly.

I feel as though I have lost a close friend. I just feel numb. I phoned Brian in London (lawrencefulham@aol.com) this morning and he is devastated too. I just had to speak to someone on this board to see if they felt as I do. I'd never met Maurice: how could I feel I'd lost someone? Well the Bee Gees music has been a big, big part of my life: I drive 25000 miles a year and its the only music I play. That's why I feel so close. My heart goes out to Yvonne, Adam, Samantha, Barbara, Barry, and Robin. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 12 Jan 2003 13:18:34 +0100 From: Ronnie Olsson Subject: Condolences from other places as well As there has been some discussion about ABBA and Bee Gees on the official ABBA website and someone posted about Maurice sudden illness I started a thread earlier this morning telling them about his passing.

When he died we became very ...Life's too short... taken away like that, we have to be bonded and I remember saying to Barry and Robin at the funeral, I said that we have to stay bonded. We have to be together because without each other, we're nothing. And we realised that, not because of Andy's death. But we realised it of all the things we've done years before, we've gone … this cannot happen. We cannot loose each other. And that made our bond much stronger. So that was a tragedy that helped.

My first thought on waking up is "Mo is dead." I came here first because I knew where my grief was being shared. I sobbed myself to sleep last night, or rather, early this morning. Few people in my life will understand how things will just never quite be the same again. Some insensitive people will try and tease me about this--damn them for their uncaring. But it's not about me, is it? Mo's family is mourning and my heart pains for them today, so much. I've only thought of one thing that is trying to appease me; Andy has his brother to be with him and his dad.

I think they are excellent and are among my favorites on the album. He was always in a good mood and you can't say that about many people. I will always cherish the memories I had of meeting him. --part1_80.259d430b.2b52d25b_boundary-- ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 12 Jan 2003 15:23:14 +0100 From: "Per Bausager" Subject: Robins presence Since Mourice died just an hour after the arrival of Robin I am wondering if they kept him alive with a ventilator and if it was the familys decision to turn it off.

I met Maurice in Las Vegas after the ONO concert and had my photo taken with him and got his autograph....he was such a gentleman. I am still in shock....I feel as if we have all lost a friend. I can only imagine what his family is going through. God bless them and all of you, and of course, Maurice's soul.

The 53-year-old died in a Miami hospital early today. He had been critically ill after suffering a heart attack during surgery to remove an intestinal blockage. Pete Bassett, spokesman for Maurice's twin brother, Robin, said: "It's a huge shock to us all and completely unexpected. Robin and his family have flown out to Miami and everyone is just devastated. "They have literally woken up to this and it's the worst possible news anyone could have expected from the day's events. There's just complete and utter shock. This is an unbelievable blow." He added: "On Friday Robin felt that there was an improvement and that Maurice had started to regain consciousness and he was reported to be responding to his family but obviously that was only a temporary thing. "It's just too shocking at this stage to think about. Everyone was just believing that Maurice was coming round and we woke up to this awful news. "The past few days since Robin heard the initial news of Maurice have been just so emotional for him and our thoughts go out to him as Maurice's twin and obviously to his family." Friend David Most, who has worked with the Bee Gees for 16 years, told ITV: "It's a shock, because we thought he was getting better. He did twiddle his toes, he held his daughter's hand, and squeezed it, his organs were all functioning, we thought, 'it's the turning point', and then suddenly he went into a coma. It's terrible, absolutely terrible." I have no words to express my grief. Mo had always been such a friendly, nice, kind guy with a great sense of humour. I will miss him so much. I cried all day and now I only feel empty inside. My thoughts and prayers are with the family in Miami.
