I promised a guy I met on another forum that I would post this around, he wanted to share his story and offer thanks to Axl and GN'R... He is also considering making a scrapbook of our replies in memory of his wife for his daughter.

Original Post

My name is Dan B. Very long time lurker and huge GNR fan. My wife Amanda was diagnosed with leukemia around Jan 15th. She gave birth to our beautiful; daughter Gianna Rose B. on 1/23. Unfortunately Amanda passed away on Feb 25th from a bacterial infection. We were both huge GNR fans and had the honor of seeing Axl live in Boston, Hartford and Worcester and they created memories that will last a lifetime.

Im writing on this board to share a string I put together and played at the wake. If its okay, Id like to share the mp3 with our fellow fans. Can someone guide me? There was at one point a two hour wait of people in the freezing cold to get in to the funeral home. Toward the end of the wake - my string started. It was the first two minutes of Love Song by 311 - which was our wedding song. It faded and the beginning of Dont Cry started to the exact two minute mark and then faded into the last line of November Rain - "So never mind the darkness, we still can find a way..." and played the remainder of the song. Then another begins, This I Love - the first exact 3 minutes of that song...it fades into a touching line from Estranged - "Ill never find anyone to replace you, guess Ill have to make it through this time, oh this time, Without You" and beautifully fades to nothing. Hundreds of people were in tears. Axl - If you happen to read this - Thank You for being you and helping me put together such a touching string of your words. You cant believe the respect and love my wife and I have for you.

If your religious, please say a prayer. Please keep any replies respectful. Thank You.

Although not being religious, I say my prayers.

They say you die twice.
First comes the death of yourself.
Then, later, comes the death of being forgotten by your friends.

In this sense, she forever lives with you and your daughter.

and uzisuicide2002' uncle in the mind of the people who love him.

RIP.

Very touching.  So sorry for your loss.  Hope you can take some solace in that your wife lives on in your daughter.  Makes us all realize how important each day is.
