Not much time left to help Bevie's family
If you haven't yet taken advantage of Stacy's kind offer to take donations for Bevie's family and you want to then you have roughly 48 hours left. Stacy's closing down the donation button (in her left sidebar) at 2:00 p.m. U.S.A. Central Time ("Chicago time") on Friday 21st in order to have enough time to get the money order and mail it out to Bevie's family.

One last thing...
Bevie had been ill for some time and wasn't able to work, so his financial situation was increasingly difficult for him and his family. We're not able to send flowers for the funeral tomorrow and in any case the money can probably be put to better use.
Stacy had the wonderful idea of setting up a PayPal account to take donations for Bevie's family. If you'd like to give a donation as the last thing you can do for Bevie, then why not pop over now to Stacy's Cafe. The donation link is in her left hand sidebar. When the donations are in, Stacy will send a money order to Bevie's widow as after discussion with the family this was agreed to be most helpful to them.
It's all that's left for us to do now. You can do it here.

We never met
I can't help thinking about the charming book 84 Charing Cross Road. It's the correspondence between an American lady and an English bookseller, mostly about books. Sadly, they never met.
Just like me and Bevie. We only knew each other online for a year and a half but we got so much talking done in that time. When I checked back to see how long we'd been writing to each other I was amazed that it wasn't longer. We wrote every day. He was one of my closest friends. I'm finding it hard to take in that he's gone.
You may notice I'm not answering comments at the moment but I am reading them. That's about all I can manage for now.

Sad News
I heard today that my good friend Bevie James died in his sleep in the early hours of Thursday morning, 6th May. Many of you may know him from Evil Editor and from his numerous blogs. His son has asked me to let his online friends know what has happened.
Bevie was a warm-hearted man, full of caring for others and rather shy. He loved to write and stories just poured out from him.
He made a lot of friends online and inspired much warmth and affection.
He leaves a wife and son and I'm sure that your thoughts like mine will be with them. The funeral is on Saturday.
He is a great loss to us all.
