Although I have never been fortunate enough to meet any of the Bee Gees, I feel as if I've lost an old friend. Their music took me through a very difficult part of my life and I'll always remember them for this. It's so comforting to hear from others who feel the same way.

There are tears around the globe. My condolences go out to his family. What a devastating loss for all of them. I will be eternally grateful for the music and the laughter that Maurice produced. He will be greatly missed and always remembered. With much love and gratitude. JanB Go on with your song, bird -- you can't go wrong bird You will go on and on, bird, like you did before Though your wings are broken the sky is so wide open And the wind is waiting for you like an open door Though you go so far away, your voice will still be heard so well You'll never really ever know how beautiful you are When the moon is on the rise I'll try to make my songbird fly I wonder if he ever will -- and if he really did, how far ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 12 Jan 2003 08:00:45 -0800 From: "Pat Wong" Subject: Thoughts About Maurice & The Bee Gees I hope no one will think I'm being flippant or making a sick attempt at humor when I ask this. It's a question that was going through my mind, even before I learned that Maurice had died. How many of you still want to complain about them putting out solo albums instead of a group effort? We've gotten the last Bee Gees album, folks. At least the last album with all three brothers, that is. There will hopefully be more music from Barry and Robin, but it will never be the same. The things some of us were saying about Robin's album were eerily prophetic - "Be grateful for what we're getting from the guys; who knows how long any of them will still be around." Words are simply inadequate to express the sense of loss I'm feeling right now. I can hardly see to type right now, but I feel the need to get some of this out of my system. Thank you, Maurice, for the music. I never got a chance to meet you but I appreciated you more than you'll ever know. We miss you very much. I'll bet heaven's choir sounds great today. ~8^) Pat Wong (ICQ #61070813) http://www.napathon.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Senility Prayer: God grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I like, and the eyesight to tell the difference. ------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.brothersgibb.com Bee Gees News and Information ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 12 Jan 2003 11:04:18 EST From: MTGreat3@aol.com Subject: Our Dear Maurice... --part1_54.716476e.2b52ec02_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Dear fellow BeeGee fans, It is hard to put into words the deep sadness and loss I feel right now. I can't even imagine what the family must be feeling, to have someone torn from you without warning...this is a very sad day indeed. The news reports don't do this wonderful man justice. The statements don't tell of the sweet, funny energetic man he was and will remain to be in the hearts of all those who loved him. I was lucky enough to have made his acquaintance, having met him on numerous occasions. One memory that will never leave me was from my trip to Las Vegas for the taping of One Night Only in 1997. As I arrived at the MGM Grand, alone, I was overwhelmed by the enormity of the place. The Bee Gees were everywhere on poster, music and television screen. As I was taking it all in a familiar face appeared and in typical Maurice fashion he came over and gave me a big hug and thanked me for coming! Who else would do something like this but Maurice? He was a joy to be around, full of life and energy and yes, as we are all realizing, his star will be that bright star in the sky for all of us. My condolences to the Gibb family Sincerely, Mary LoPreste --part1_54.716476e.2b52ec02_boundary-- ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 12 Jan 2003 11:08:29 -0500 From: Janine Subject: FOX NEWS Running A Look Back In a few minutes, FOX NEWS will be showing a look back segment - I'm sure they will repeat it throughout the day.

But their wonderful music lives on. After over 35 years of listening to their music and being a fan, their music will always be part of my love and live. My deepest condolences to Maurice's family - Yvonne, Adam and Samantha, and to his twin brother Robin and elder brother Barry and all their children. I am also sure that it must be particularly hard for mom Barbara and sis Leslie. Bee Gees music lives on - Maurice has passed from the Railroad of this life on earth to another in heaven. You managed to Hold Us in Your Hand and always will! God Bless!
