In response to My late wife Blonddgirl777's tribute

[dr.rythm]

This is a very emotional day for me today. First as you Know, today is Valentine's day but sadly my Valentine is in heaven, and today is exactly 6 months since her passing. But also I have received an email from Sarge asking me to rejoin the site...

I have not been here for a long long while... Time was kind of a struggle for the past few years as you can imagine while battling the events that led to this tragic conclusion. Frankster had mentioned I should check her tribute thread... But up until now, did not have the courage to do so.

I have to first off all, thank everybody that participated in, from the bottom of my heart. I am deeply touched of the respect and admiration some of you had for my wife. I had no idea the extent that Chantal touched some of you. And let me tell you that the feeling was mutual, because she would always turn to RothArmy when she wanted to blow off some steam....

It is unfortunate that tragedy couldn't wait one more year for her to see the real reunion...
But let just say that she will be with everyone of us the night of our respective Van Halen show.

Sincerely Thank You

BlonddGirl777's Husband

What a beautiful tribute and picture to share with all of us.

I can't even begin to understand the range of emotions that you must be feeling.

Thanks for stopping in here and please stay around. The Roth Army family wraps its arms around you in a collective hug, friend.

[Zing!]

So sorry for your loss - tough to find the right words - other than welcome to the Army. You won't find a rowdier bunch of mates. Hang in there and Roth on!

[kwame k]

I don't have the words, either.....she is and will always be missed here.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family, Marc-Andre!

[fourthcoming]

My prayers are with you friend.

[Vinnie Velvet]

Thoughts and prayers out to you, Marc-Andre.

We all miss Chantal very much.

[Jagermeister]

Sorry for you loss man.

Glad to see you back on the board. This is a very special time for all of us and I am glad you are here to share it with us. I am sure you wife would have wanted it that way.

[Seshmeister]

Horrific situation for you, glad you popped in.

[Jérôme Frenchise]

Thank you for visiting this place, Marc-André. It must be hard for you to step here, where Chantal "BG" left a lot of posts.

Like many members I've been missing her - she was so human, true, kind and funny...

I've been thinking of you too, how strong you had to be...


I will always remember her, my thoughts are with you and your little boy now, with the three of you.
You have as many friends here as Chantal does, of course.

Toute mon amitié

PS: Merci aussi pour cette photo très touchante de Chantal

Wow! I can't imagine how much strength it took for you to drop by here, but I am so glad you did. I can't tell you how much I miss your beautiful Chantal. She was one of my dearest friends here. I still read the pm's she and I exchanged and visit her Facebook often (just yesterday in fact.) I think of you and your little boy often and wonder how you two are holding up. She was so freaking proud of the both of you.

Bless you, bless your heart. I hope in time things will be easier for you. Thanks for stopping by.

See the time you did have together as a blessing.

Take your drumming to new heights and get yourself out of the comfort zone as much as you can because that's where the rewards are.
peace

Absolutely!

My heart goes out to you... Chantal was awesome.


Gone but never forgotten.

[ELVIS]

There are no words brother...other than Stay Frosty...

And I mean that in the best way possible...


Cheers!

I enjoy the pics of her from Amsterdam.

I think she did too.
