Going, going, gone... I will miss them


They are the best Starbucks staff ever... and I will miss them. They gave me flowers when my girlfriend's husband died suddenly, they knew how devasted I was of the news. They sent a coffee home with PJ when I was unwell with the flu. They made my 48th birthday extra special and even put a singing candle on the muffin they gave me! They have gone out of their way to make me feel special. I will miss them.
Starbucks at Forest Hill will be no more after tonight. I will miss them! Best wishes to all the staff at FH Starbucks.

Hi Shiney -
I am Matilda's niece - I was friends with Anthony and am very sorry to report that he is no longer with us. He passed on July 27, 2006 after a having battled cancer and not before he shared his short but beautiful life with so many loved ones. He was an amazing person and will live on through his friends and family.
All the best,
Michele

Hi Michele,

Thank you very much for the information.But feeling very sad, may be I should stop reading about cancer patients.These blogs make me very upset.

Hope somebody will find a cure soon.

Best wishes,

Shiney

Shiney -
I know my Aunt M tried to reply but for some reason kept getting errors so she asked me to try.
Anthony was an amazing person and I thank God every day that I knew him even if it was for far too short a time.
Cancer is an ugly part of today's reality and I can only hope we find a cure soon.
Much love,
Michele

Hi Michele,

Ok,thanks that I got your reply.After reading that blog I was thinking about Anthony constantly, calculating how many months passed after that last post.Thought what happened suddenly for him to stop writing, and didnt want to beleive that he passed away.

I think nice people dont live long.

Another one is Adrian Sudbery in UK,that is going to be another tragedy,but I simply hope that some miracle will happen.

I can imagine what you went through when he passed away,luckly I read that blog only recently, and I didnt knew much about him.Otherwise it must have been very hard for me.

Have a nice weekend Michele.

Love and Regards,

Shiney
