Default Musa "Ae Ae" and Ney Poovan bunch

Hello fellow members,
I apologize for not posting much anymore.I lost my best friend "my DAD", 5 month's ago.It has been real hard on my family and I.I hope to get my desire and passion for these nanners soon again.I really enjoyed sharing pics and info with my fellow members but lost complete desire.I cut everything down except for "Jordan S. Ae Ae Strain",Ney Poovan and Chini Champa.I Hope to start from scratch again,and have already began.I want to give a special mention and thanks to Brian(NANAMAN) and Harvey (harveyc) for taking time from their life and giving me the motivation I needed to go forward.These are the kind of people the world needs more of.

"Jordan's Ae Ae Strain" update



Ney Poovan bunch

Greenie, our sympathy and condolences to you and your family. I had no idea and I think that I speak for everyone when I say how deeply sorry we are for your loss. Hope to see you back online soon, but can understand if you don't feel up to it. Best wishes.

Just like Scot said I could never say enough to ease your pain, but I hope you find the guidence to cope with it. Maybe your love for Bananas can redirect your spirits and place you in a happier place.

I echo exactly what Scott and other members have said. Absolutely no apologizing for grief that just knocks you down. It's part of loving.

Get a jungle growing. It may not be a cure for the hurt but maybe a bandaide. I see you have that Ae Ae well protected! It's beautiful!

Deb

Frank,
My deepest sympathies and condolences. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Having lost both my parents myself, I know the pain that you are feeling. But remembering your times with "your Best Friend" will be the warmest consolation that you can have, and you will feel his presence. I'm sure that he will want you to continue to do the things that you both enjoyed doing.

Let me know if I can help you in any way.

God bless.

Chong

Greenie- Allow me to join the outpouring of wishes and support from the org for you during this oh-so-stressful time. We have been blessed with the love and companionship of our parents; may we pass this along to the next generation. May G-d bless you and support you.

Hey buddy keep your spirits high and remember the good times.
You are more than welcome to some banana plants to get back into the swing of things if you want to come over, I'm in Stuart now and will be in Palm City in a couple weeks. It's a tank of gas but you can make it in one shot!

I have a Jamaican Red with your name on it and some other stuff for you to get you started again... I cut way back on what I grow now, basically gave away hundreds of banana plants for next to nothing per.
Happy to see you back, I heard you were going through some tough times. We're here for you though bud.
Regards,
Jarred
