1st May 2010

A friend remarked that my last posting was March 15! Shame, shame. But he's correct. I have just been so, so occupied with ADAM The Musical, and trying to keep up with the many emails to reply to, and the need to look for funding for this and that, and the many meetings I sit in - I wish there aren't so many! So, my blog suffered.

This week has been another emotional one. We lost our dear friend Alvin - more than that - when his wife Sharon told me at the funeral service that he regarded me as his mother, and his son Ryan said he often talks about me. This could be true because I've known Alvin since his teens when he was working as a technician with Michael Veerapen at Scats. His two closest friends there are Michael Thomas and Richard. Truly, words cannot fully express the person Alvin is to his friends, family, church, business - always, always helpful, always smiling, forever patient, so, so supportive and helpful. At the service his wife Sharon was strong and spoke of Alvin so warmly so that the legacy he leaves behind at the church will be strengthened by those he has left behind.

I have lost a true friend. Rest in peace Alvin and may God Bless Sharon and your five children. All I could try to say to Sharon that day was The Actors Studio and klpac and Joe & I, and Mike too, will be there for her and her children, anytime.
