Received this from Toerag's son (Licketysplit)..


Hello, I dont know any of you but needed to send this to all. My father has had a seizure and there is no prognosis good or bad at this time. We found him this morning in a pool of blood from his ear and unresponsive. If you are a friend of my father please say a prayer for him as we are strong believers and we know prayer works. If you are a customer of Ashekickingklassics I will still conduct business as usual at our regular email address: ashekickingklassics@yahoo.com
If you are an enemy of his that he has left your email on his address book so he can harass you at his will, please seek vengeance later and I know my father would oblige. For those of you that don't know my dad personally, I can assure you he will be fine. He is a tough old coot and with the exception of those damn cigarettes has taken very good care of himself. He survived a few tough tours in the military with few scars and has endured well raising me which was a miracle in itself. If you know of anyone else I should contact that is not on this email list please forward to the above email address. Other than that, I will try to keep anyone interested informed of his condition. Again I want to stress to you, his friends, I know my dad, and I know with his meaness and God's help he will be fine. Thanks,
Scott Ashe Jr.


If that meathead doesn't get through this I'm gonna kill him!! Please include Toe in your prayers...I'll be praying twice as hard, believe me..

Aw dear Toe,
Know that I find many reasons to pray for you but I find this reason the most disturbing of all! Peace, courage and health. Your friend,

Thank you, Michael for sharing his son's message.  Toe will be in my prayers and thoughts and even though we joke around with him here at Passions, I know what a good person he is, in heart, and I care.  God be with you Toe!!

Aha.....I've just seen in Suthern gal's poem that Toe is recuperating and trying to escape from the hospital...

Kindly disregard any kind words I may have said....and don't tell HIM!!!

Thanks for passing on the information Deer.

Being an atheist I don’t normally pray but I’m willing to give it a shot in this case working on the premise that it can’t do any harm and from where I am it’s about the only thing I can do.

'deer,
Where are you hiding that poem by Suthern?

I found it:
Fear




If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Toe,

To paraphrase what you have said to me in the past, "Only the good die young, so it looks like I'll be around for a long time yet to come!"---I'll keep that thought, my deer friend--whoops! I meant to say my "dear" friend. For a moment there, I had gotten you confused with the Ballsy One.

Now, to you my "deer" friend--yes, you Michael, when Toe is back up to snuff, he'll give you a big bear hug for this thoughtful gesture--then he'll punch your lights out! LOL

Toe, you've made it through many trials and tribulations in your life---and you'll make it through this health crisis. We are all praying for you, Dear Ragged One. Yer, loved, yanno!

Angel hugs & kisses, healing lights, prayers, and all the colors of the rainbows,

Linda

Thanks Deer.  I just coming in here to post the same thing. I was just talking to him a couple days ago. What a shock to hear this.
He is in my prayers, and I've emailed his
son letting him know so.

God bring our Toe back to us. Life just
wouldn't be the same without him.

Get well soon, Toe, so we can harass you like you ought to be...those nurses don't quite know how to do it right...

Well Toe. Hope today is a better day for you.
Now when you are a layin' in that thar hospital bed. You can think of all the badness you are going to write about your buddies. You can come up with new stories about your hospital stay. But like I said in another note DON'T pinch the nurses cause they have needles and catheters. Oh!MY!
Treat them with high respect until you are about to walk out the door then pinch that nursie. LOL. Hope everything is going well and you are up and about in no time.
Sending love and prayers from Ohio.
