Frank Teixeira

First off I want to offer my condolences to you and your family. I do remember you talking about him in the past as I also have a friend with ALS. I however have lost touch with Roy. Dad and I owned a GT500. It was a project that stalled and did not get finished by us. Roy bought the Shelby from the dude that Dad sold it to. Roy finished it, with some help. This is a pic of the day that he drove it to Dad's house and handed me the keys and said "take it for a spin". Not long after that I got an email saying that he was retiring from work due to his condition. The last time that I saw him he was in a wheelchair, but still owned his dream car. He let me borrow it for a little while. I need to contact him, I just do not know where to start. Again I am not trying to hijack your post, you are just reminding me of something that I need to do, because life is very fragile and not to be taken for granted. Again Mel I am very sorry for your loss. fd

Tim, they don't last long after they get this terrible disease. If I were you I would just call them and tell them you were thinking of them and go from there.

Do not hesitate!

Mel, so sorry for your loss. I believe that I know how you feel having gone through similar issues twice in the last two years.
 
Here is a pretty good article in the OC Register and a comment I wrote about my brother Frank.

To my Brother, Frank; Dude, I know you are free now! You are able to finally leave the shackles of that frail body behind! May you ride and surf like you never had before. We will see each other again, I, not you, just need to be patient! It was a pleasure to always be there to help you as we grew up. I am sorry Brother that this is not something that I can fix or make go away for you! I am comforted in the knowledge that I was on speaker phone telling you how much I love you as you passed! Life really is a garden, Dig it?

To those wondering about Frank's Ex-wife, I do not wish to drag anyone through the mud. Just know I was disappointed to say the least. It was not mutual, He was served, and there were issues that could only be resolved via divorce. After it was over I can say that Frank was relieved and happy. I can also say that the stress of a divorce when he was in this fragile state took it's toll. This is where it should be left, in God's hands as the ultimate judge. Frank would want us all to Judge not!

He had become such a wonderful man and "Big Fat Love" will live forever in our hearts and hopefully as a business helping to fight this awful disease.

Frank, know I am here to help forward your legacy in any way I can, I honor you and your memory by living up to your expectations as your big brother.

I love you man!

Thats cool man!
A few years back when my Mother passed away I wrote a little something about her, and what she meant to me, and was going to read it out loud at her funeral. When it came time for anyone that wanted to speak, I realized I didn't have the balls to do it, not so much that I was afraid, I just knew I couldn't get through it with out falling apart, so I crinkled the note up and placed it on her casket. I hope she got to read it!
I'm sure your brother heard you too!
 
I was watching movies downstairs yesterday in my projection room and watched the lame twilight new moon movie and then went to the shelf to pick out another one and got this tap on my shoulder and a voice that said "Joe Dirt"

This was Frank's favorite movie and my Mom said today they watched it a couple days before he died.

Anyway, I put it in and watched it. It felt like he was sitting right there and was laughing at it.

I know it sounds weird, but I do believe in the super natural, and it could well have been him there. I have felt him since Sunday night after he died. I haven't felt him here since about two hours after Joe Dirt though.

Was cool though!

I always try to post something to these kinds of threads and then never do because I'm not good with emotion, just logic. But I am sorry for your loss Mel.

And what you said doesn't sound weird at ALL.
