Very Sad News Today....(Kent "Lion Grrrr" Nelson)

Re: Very Sad News Today....

I hate to say I won't be there (I'm still in NYC).


I'm there in spirit.
 
Re: Very Sad News Today....

I remembered that you were still east coasting it...

I had some die cuts made with this image:

And "Grrrr 3-7-08" under it. (I didn't know until this afternoon that it was really 3-5-08, but the 7th was when it was posted up.) They are about 3x5 and I got some mostly in blue, red, black, white...

Re: Very Sad News Today....

Bill,

Put me down for a white sticker. I am not sure if I'll get off my other commitment in time to make it to the memorial or not. Hopefully I can. Otherwise I'll hook up with you later.

maybe it's smiling. Besides our lion would sometimes post a "grrrr" in good fun. Either way I want a white one. Carol and our driving the two hour drive Saturday am. See u there.

I know, but I looked for quite a long time trying to find more suitable for a die cut and this was the best I could find!

I had them cut me up some silver and gold "5" to replace the other ones, but people will have to do it manually.

Depending on the how things go tomorrow, I may go to here I got them today and get some more made. They cost me about $7.50 each.

(Eddie, I'll set out a while one for you. Josh, if you tell me the color - I'll hold one back for you. I have 8 white, 6 black, 4 dark blue, 4 red, 1 gold, and 2 purple)

Re: Very Sad News Today....

...

You know that we have a Naxja buddy who die cuts stickers, right?

I just had another run of the SCXJ stickers run. I havent recieved them yet.
 
Re: Very Sad News Today....

Oh. Yes. We get a cal hookup on die cut, in the future. Won't really help for tomorrow.
 
Re: Very Sad News Today....

i'll take a white or dark blue depending on how dark
 
Re: Very Sad News Today....

Wasn't able to make it down there in time. Glad to hear it was a grrrr memorial.

Bill, I'll catch up with you soon for the sticker. Thanks.
 
Re: Very Sad News Today....

The memorial party was grrrrt....

The movie that was played in rememberance of Lion was quite enjoyable providing a lot of laughs for some and tears for others...
Lions brother and his family were there from Illinois along with alot of his local friends...
SoCalXJs and NAXJA members were there to pay their respects.....
The turnout for the event was amazing..... although parking was at a premium...
 
Re: Very Sad News Today....

great to hear indeed. Wish I could have expressed a couple of things to his brother, my condolences for Lion's passing and also my pleasure of having met Lion
 
Re: Very Sad News Today....

Ditto on the video, that was great stuff. I hope he gets on that show. Too bad I don't get the channel. I'd like to get a copy of the footage, at leasy digitally. Maybe I'll send a note to Montego.
