Yeah, being Jewish he was buried the next day (Oct. 22ish?). It's just that I saw his public memorial on the TV being held today, so I just thought I'd give him another Vale. Thanks for the laughs Don. And Moonface too. And Gra-Gra...

:D How's things? :oops: Hope you're well.

And apparently quite mysterious too, despite his recent personal troubles.

Apparently Robert Enke first went to see a therapist in 2003 because of depression, and continued to see him daily for a couple of months. Things seemed to get better for a while, even before he made his comeback at our local team, Hannover 96, and still a huge thanks from us all to former coach Ewald Lienen for bringing this amazing human being and fantastic goalkeeper here.

In 2006 Robert and Teresa Enke had to deal with the loss of their 2 year old daughter, who was born with some kind of heart damage and died after yet another operation she had to undergo.

In May 2009 they then adopted a 3 month old baby daughter, so things seemed to look a lot better.

It is said that Robert Enke started seeing his therapist again about six weeks ago, when he seemed to suffer from a mysterious virus disease which was yet another setback on his way to national goalkeeper No. 1. He had obviously decided to keep this away from public, as it is said mainly because of fear his adopted daughter could be taken away from again because he suffered from depression.

His widow held a press conference today, telling the public about Robert Enkes disease and how difficult it was to live with it, an amazing woman.

A lot of people in Germany, and especially here in Hannover, are still in shock. A public divine service just ended, watched it on TV, and now fans and mourners will retreat to the AWD Arena to celebrate him and sign condolence books.

Rest in peace, Robert Enke. You were the best.

Maggie Jones, 75. Blanche in Coronation Street, it wont be the same without Blanche and her acid tongue.

I missed the opportunity to express my condolences at the time of Jana's death. I want to do so now, in the knowledge that your mourning continues and that this Thanksgiving day without her must be especially hard.

Thanks so much Esther. I worked today in hopes of keeping my mind off things. I did pretty well until I read this post.
Had to take a moment to compose myself.

Please send my best wishes/regards to Will. Met him in NYC at The Roseland. Lovely Guy.

Steve (Rapid) Averill, from the Radiators, lost Maria, his wife, to cancer Wednesday night. Such an unfair disease. Maria and Steve had been together about 40 years and she could light up a room just by walking into it. She'll be sadly missed.

Just throw my ashes in the field
And hope there's some soul left to save
