Ritje, you are very lucky to have JiePie in your life. Cherish the happy memories. I got to know Jie Pie as a strong, determined and brave person. You have kept him alive with your work and memories.

The most pain of all is missing you and knowing that we can’t be together no more.

" If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write things worth reading or do things worth writing."
 by Benjamin Franklin - JiePie you did so much worth writing of it.

Jie Pie, I will always remember you as the sweet and so discreet man and a great human being you were. I wish I could have known you better

Dear Ritje, Lovely to hear from you, thank you for your continued commitment to sharing Jiepie's experience. It does make a difference and we all hope for the breakthrough in understanding. Good to know you have good memories of a normal day. We hear many people speak of the suddenness of death, although they know the end is coming it can happen in a blink and catch loved ones by surprise. Take care, it is early days in coping with such a huge loss and change in your life. Hope that you have good friends and family to help you through a sad time, Best wishes, Emma

Dear Angel, It was lovely to hear from you. I was wondering how you were doing. It sounds like your husband had the best of care to me. He went very fast as you say. It was even very scary the way you described his death to me. You obviously loved each other very much and he would have been very grateful of this in the end. You have mentioned that you donated his brain for medical research. This is a wonderful idea, as there is very little know about why some of us have this kind or that kind of MSA or the other. It is hard though when you don't understand why you have something in the first place, but harder still to find out there is no know cure for this. Not nice to hear that at all. Please keep in touch as I would like to know how you are doing. Love Pam (Beautybabe)

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to JiePie SCHOUPPE. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
