Jilli, I'm so sorry. Peace to you and yours.
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My deepest condolences, Jilli.

I am named after my mother, with her first name and maiden name, but was called Ginger from the beginning to avoid confusion. She was named after her grandmother. There are many names in my family I am happy to have avoided. My grandfather was William Regulus, called Rex, named for his grandfather Regulus Tucker, whose siblings were Horace, Aurelius, Albert, Serena and Livona. My grandmother's sisters were Ora Dora and Hattie Mae.

Your mom was so well-loved, Jilli. Much strength to you and your dad.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am so sorry Jilli.

Oh, Jilli, I am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you and your family.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm so very sorry, Jilli. I'm glad your mom had your dad there with her at the end, holding her hand and loving her. If there is any least-bad way to pass from this world (though oh how I wish she hadn't had to leave at all), holding a beloved's hand and hearing loving words is it. All my hugs and comforting thoughts to you and your dad and Pete; all the wishes in the world won't come close to healing that hole in your lives, but all the wishes in the world are there nonetheless.
