As you may know, it's Monday in Norwich. Just wondering if anyone is planning in going.
I'm a bit torn about it. Enough time has passed since I received news of his death, that I could make my goodbye's and not go. Would be a bit strange going if I didnt know anyone there. But at the same time, it wouldn't be a proper goodbye. My emotional upset at the loss has settled quite a bit, going Monday would of course stir that back up. Which is of course part of the point I suppose.
I'm thinking of dedicating my book to him. He was always such a big supporter of my writing, and of me. Again, another reason why it feels right for me to go Monday. But, not sure I want to be a stranger there.
So, would I be the only ICer going?

I think the main thing is to take his family's wishes into account about numbers turning up and only those who were very close to him in real life to come in vanilla outfits. Perhaps you could contact Stormy's son about it? “During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act” - George Orwell Edited 25 Mar 11, 11:21 AM by MissKimberley | |

Think unless you know the person and the persons family and family friends, then leave the funeral to the family and family friends. | |

I did know Stormy in real life, rather well and for several years. Not that I need to justify it. I have also been in touch with his son. I know I would feel welcome, and have been invited. Just wondering if anyone else I know is going to be there too. You say Ouch like it's a bad word. | |

As you know, Pen, we exchanged a lot of words over several years, but we never met, so I don't think it would be appropriate. I wanted to do some sort of acknowledgement but I'm at a loss to what - would you be able to forward a card to Oliver if I was to maybe send one via you? If so, can you memo me your address?

It would be inappropriate for people to turn up in fetish gear, assuming the deceased's kink life was not fully known within friends and family. You only get one chance to say your goodbye. Go. be a switch, double your fun | |

LJ, Stormys son posted a while back detailing the funeral arrangements are the need for discretion: http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/300551/ And I agree Pen should go, there was a clear fondness for each other in the way Pen spoke of him and vice versa.

Why would anyone turn up at a funeral in fetish gear? ***Disclaimer: I accept no liability for the content of this post, or for the consequences of any misconstruction taken on the basis of the information provided, unless that information is subsequently confirmed in writing.
