Just got a phone call from Jeannie. He stopped breathing on his own last night and the brain scan they did was really bad. We're going over to the hospital and she's decided to give the order to stop treatment and just let him go

. There's no point in making him linger any more.

Because it's Easter, the doctor probably won't come till this evening so I'll update you all when I get back.

OMG. I'm so, so, so sad. :cry:

I can't believe it. Spirit hug to my friend Elefino. :cry:

HUGE hug to you. XOXO

My thoughts to Elefino's family and friends. This is a sad day. I don't believe we have yet to lose a Foothill Forum family member.

i was thinking the same thing-that we haven't lost a tff member yet. my thoughts are with his family and sunflowers. it has been a heart wrenching week for sunflowers who had planned her month long trip with elefino.

I am so sorry to hear this about Joel. May his transition be peaceful.

Your Bass is in good hands, Joel. Thanks again for your generosity, kindness and hospitality.

Oh my lord....I cannot express my sorrow deeply enough. :cry:

My heart goes out to the family and, of course you, sunflowers. What a tragedy.

Need any company this weekend? You have my number. I will give you a call later today. I'm so sorry.

My heart is so heavy reading this. Even tho we never met, I feel like I am losing a friend.

I am not a frequent poster here, nor have I met Elefino/Joel, but I too have always enjoyed and appreciated his posts. This is so sad. My heart goes out to all involved with him. May he have an easy transition.

I was so happy to finally go to his eparty... and now this has all happened so fast. I guess it is a reminder to take the time out of my busy life to let people know how I feel.

HUG to sunflower and to his family.

May the music play as loud as he wishes as he transition to a better place. Sad and just a reminder to all of us that you just never know when that time will come and how much we must live in the moment and care as well as respect each other. He will be missed, his sense of humour and his humanity, he tried hard to be there for us and remind us to behave here on TFF. I salute him with respect and regret his early departure.

I'm sorry to hear this sad news. My thoughts are with Elefino for a peaceful transition. Sunflowers, my heart goes out to you and his sister. Do take care of yourselves in this difficult time.
