I have just heard news that a friend I have known and respected for 10 years has died. He was originally our Caretaker and then was promoted to Estate Manager. I worked closely with him when I was Chair of our Community Association. He has been a mentor to most of the lads on this Estate including helping my own son through his rebellious teenage years. Apparently someone has raised a question about him being single and spending his time with young lads. Today he drove to the beach and put a hosepipe in his exhaust. Sorry I can't go on.

Oh Jim, that is terrible, I am so very sorry. Why do people have to assume that single men have a thing about young children? Well in fact, why do people have to make assumptions at all? Thinking of you with much love, Mandy xx

Gossip can be such a wicked and evil thing - a lesson to all perhaps to curb our tongues when we speak without thinking. God help that poor man - the torment he must have endured - grant him the peace that he deserves. Our thoughts to his friends and relatives. Ann

Jim, I am so sorry. A friend of mine had similar unfounded allegations made against him. This plus other stresses led to a nervous breakdown. People can be incredibly stupid, spreading rumours like this. I am terrilby sorry for your loss. Sal.x
