manxchatterbox Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Its 33 years since, do the relatives still want these reminders every so often ??? surely its a private thing to remember when you want to not having to feel as though your pressured to have to appear oin public...what you think??

mojomonkey Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I think its a matter for the families and friends to decide on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonan3 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 From the manx Radio report: Fifty people lost their lives in a fire at the original Summerland building in 1973, and this service may be the last opportunity to remember the vicitims at the scene of the disaster. Does anyone really believe that this will be the last chance? Does this mean that they have some idea of what they're actually going to do wuth the site? Would it be cynical to suggest that the place is likely to look exactly the same this time next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caringwife Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Should let sleeping dogs lie. As the saying goes. Mcb, im related to someone who lost a dear friend and she cant even bear to hear the words 'summerland fire' without her still collapsing in floods of tears, so bad idea imo. Wonder who had this brainwave for a memorial in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxchatterbox Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 CW - just as I thought...I agree why don't "they" leave it alone and leave people to let their memories soften.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
