Dear Zeynep,

Both you and your family have been very much on my mind this past week. I do hope that everything turns out OK, and in the interim, you are finding the strength to take care of one another.

As you can see, you have much love and support from many people on the Tow. Sending positive thoughts your way...

Love, Catherine

I have just been catching up on my Undertow.
I will pray for you and your family.

Dear Towies;

Thank you so much again for your wonderful support. Your messages really warmed my heart.

Unfortunately today at 3p.m. my grandmother passed away.

She was a very important person in my life so I really don't know what to say.

May she rest in peace..

My deepest and most sincere sympathy to you and to all the members of your family, Zeinep.

This is not a moment for words, but for trying to remember all the time you spent with her and all that she taught you during her lifetime. Keep it in the deepest part of your heart, so that she will always be with you in spirit.

Dear Zeynep,

I am with Gianluca—right now words fall short. I, too, send my most sincere sympathy to both you and your family, and wish you strength in this difficult time.

You come from your grandmother, and will always be a part of one another. She will always be within you, and in time that may be a comfort to last a lifetime—yours.

Love, Catherine

Sorry to hear your news, Zeynep.

It's sad for everyone who will miss your grandmother, I know, but at least she will no longer be in distress from the stroke and the paralysis.

My thoughts are with you,

Chris

Zeynep --

I'm so sorry to hear your sad news and will keep you and your family in my thoughts.

I lost my father last year and know how overwhelming the sorrow you're feeling must be. Please take care of yourself and those around you, and please know that there will be happiness in your future -- even if that seems impossible now.

Dear friends;

When I came to Undertow today I saw all your messages and they made me so happy and emotional at the same time. Yesterday was the day of her funeral, Ankara was freezing cold(-12C) and at least 800 people were there to say the last good-bye for her. She left wonderful memories in all our minds and hearts and we'll always cherish that.

Thank you so much for all your prayers and thoughts, I'm sure she felt them too.

lots of love to you all and please take very good care of yourself, you deserve all the good things.

Best;
Zeynep

P.S: J.C thanks for the lyrics you sent to me, it was very meaningful and spoke to how I'm feeling right now

I like the sequencing on the 99.9 album, with When Heroes Go Down immediately following Bad Wisdom.

We're already thinking of the mother whose eyes have gone hard and suspecting and then...Heroes Go Down, and its discussion of settling of blame.
