We had taken away from us, not just a brother, but a friend, band member and kindred spirit.Whilst we come to terms with this great personal loss we also wish to thank all our fans for their support, and let them know that in our hour of despair they have given us strength to continue. Barry and I will shortly be announcing details of the funeral and memorial service, but our aim is to work even harder than before on our musical projectsm as this is the only way we know to come to terms with recent tragic events. To dwell on sadness is not our way and not the correct way to respect Maurice's memory. My intention is to get back to work very shortly and pay tribute to Maurice the way he would have wished, through our music.

I never post though I've been a member for a couple years. Sometimes I would skip over some of the digests if I got too busy to read them, but I have read each and every message since Maurice passed away. It really helps to have an outlet for the tremendous grief I feel. The people around me just don't understand my devotion to the Bee Gees. Is it me or has this been an extraordinarily long week? I have never been affected by a celebrity's death like this. I guess Maurice was my Elvis, my JFK, my Princess Di.

I really lost it when they all talked about the loss of Andy. Then I really really lost it when I realized how great a person Maurice had become ... and for some reason God took him from us. I am hearing it may have been a birth defect that doomed Mo. Even before this, I had heard and read about guilt twins have when one dies. The surviving twin feels responsible. I am thinking of all the Gibbs daily ... but lately Robin has been on my mind a lot more than the others.

Then I really really lost it when I realized how great a person Maurice had become ... and for some reason God took him from us. I am hearing it may have been a birth defect that doomed Mo. I can't believe he wouldn't have made a joke about it, if he knew. After all, he always used to lovingly tease Robin about stealing one of his vertebra. ( we're supposed to have five ... Robin has six, Mo had four. ) Even before this, I had heard and read about guilt twins have when one dies. The surviving twin feels responsible. I am thinking of all the Gibbs daily ... but lately Robin has been on my mind a lot more than the others. As we approach the first week anniversary of Mo's death, I just wonder how he and others are doing.

A wonderful tribute to a wonderful man. I need to sit down and write one myself, but I'm just not ready yet. For me it will be the good bye from my soul to a man who I have loved, enjoyed and respected for 35 years, and I just don't want to let him go yet. I know we will always have the music and the videos (Thank you God), and our personal encounters with him, to remember him, but for me there is something about putting the pen to the page. Just can't do it yet.
