Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

How is our elder statesman?
Thank you for asking Armaghtoffee. Lady wife in hospital. She had fluid on the lungs and they had to drain off. Removed 2 litres worth. Not sure when she is coming home, hopefully tomorrow. If it's not tomorrow it will be Monday as they don't discharge patients on Sundays. The mega sad news about Messy has really shaken me to the core, so just off to bed and some prayers for Messy and her indoors.

Hopefully Mrs M gets out as planned and you have a peaceful Christmas.

Faith is important to me and I trust Messy and Mrs M will hear every word you are saying for them tonight.

I've been on and off the forum all day but have only just ventured into this thread.
I'm gutted at this devastating news, even though it was inevitable and indeed expected (not least by Karl himself)
It was so humbling the way in which he displayed a remarkable acceptance of the inevitable and yet still took the time to care about the welfare of others.
Condolences to his friends and family.
RIP Karl.
 
@Earwigjoe you got Karl to Goodison and are huge part of this wonderful thread.

If there was a GOT poster of the year you would walk it.

I was thinking the same about @Earwigjoe he was able to give Karl the happiness of going to one last Everton game, an experience that he treasured tremendously. I also have the feeling that Joe is behind the tribute that Everton will have for Karl during the Newcastle match. So Joe, thanks for everything you did for Karl while alive and now that he has left us. Xx

@Methuselah I’m sorry to hear Ms. M is at the hospital. May she recover soon from her lung issues so she can return home to be with the family for Christmas. Thinking about you. Xx
 
Dear, Karl. I’m still trying to process your loss and I have to be honest and tell you that I have cried a lot this afternoon, maybe I’m releasing all the sadness that I’m feeling at the thought of no hearing from you again but I know you are no longer suffering and that brings comfort to my heart. You have created something beautiful here on this thread. Thanks to you many of us here have become friends and have gotten used to come here at your coffee room to check on each other and I know we will continue doing so, this thread is your legacy here at GOT. A place where posters will still be able to stop by to give each other support and be nice to one another as you wished it to be. Adios amigo!


Beautiful Sassy

Absolutely not mate, all praise is for God alone for allowing us all to meet Karl and for allowing him to leave this world surrounded with the support and prayers of all his new friends on here from all over the world - each of you comforted him and made him happy these last few months. Look at all the friendships Karl formed between all us strangers. We may be rubbish at football but we're more than a club - we're family... a chara. Thanks for the last line - Bail ó Dhia ort. Goodnight and God bless everyone. ?
