My fiance, Bryan Rowley, passed away on Wednesday. He was a massive Morrissey & The Smiths fan and the last gig we went to was to see Morrissey at Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester. Bryan suffered a massive brain haemorrhage on Thursday 23rd September and was on life support for 6 days, fighting for his life whilst the neurosurgeons at Hope Hospital in Salford, Manchester performed 2 operations on his brain to remove some of the blood.

He was my best friend and I wish he was still here. Please say a prayer for him.

Andrea

    Please listen, perhaps, to a tune from JOBRIATH.

    The song is called "BE STILL." Also try "Morning Star Ship."

    Here is where you can listen to it.

  • Dear Andrea, I am so very sorry of your loss of Bryan. You seem like a very strong woman, and I am sure ANY ONE of us here will be here if you need to talk. All I can say is, that I have suffered two deaths in my life, one of my best friend 10 years ago from liver/pancreatic cancer (she was 31 and I didn't get to say goodbye to her) and my other friend, who unfortunately committed suicide. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Please e mail me if you want to chat, and remember, there is NO weakness in grieving. My thoughts are with you. I am so very sorry.

  • I think you are both brave.
    So you can get over.
    Being Moz/the Smith fan-very thoughtful,
    may be he made you listen them-
    Trattford cirket in Manchester-
    He surely felt happy to have a fiance like you.
    We don't know when our life ends
    Either long or short, it's important how you could live well.
    Nobody could be strong like him.
    Keep in mind his fighting spirits.
    I think it's OK to cry now,
    but I know he's happy when you are happy
    and want to see your smiling face.
    That's the smith fan I think.
    I'm crying-I pray for both of you.
    Be brave.
