My heart goes out to Austin, Robin and Jimmy’s family;
hold on, God is with the walking wounded, He knows your
pain.
Have you ever seen something beautiful and known that it
will eventually die? Life in this world is just so
fragile, so precious. There is no second person like Jimmy.
It’s good to have known him, and he will not be
forgotten.
I hope you have found your promised land, Jimmy.
Thanks for having been a wonderful and great character.
Stella, London.
When I first heard of Kurt’s suicide, The Wonder Stuff
splitting and tons of other things that people are going
on about, I really couldn’t give a shit. But after reading
your lovely letter about the death of Jimmy Fernandez, I
found myself feeling sad and I didn’t even know who he was.
I don’t know what I am trying to say but I just wanted to
say that I thought your letter was great. He must have been
a great guy for him to inspire you to write it.
Big Hugs.
Lisa Wiles, Hull
JIMMY Fernandez was an exceptional human being who touched the life of everyone who knew him. I miss him, too. (Letters Editor).
I HAVE just read of Jimmy Fernandez’s sudden death,
and of Robin’s and Austin’s feelings. This farewell
letter is almost as beautiful as the songs that they
wrote while Jimmy was alive and I truly hope the band
will continue despite their tragic loss. Their music
is an all too important piece of my life.
While Kurt Cobain’s death came suddenly (although not
totally unexpected), Jimmy’s death was a total shock.
I find it sad that Cobain should take his own life,
while someone who loved life as much as Jimmy should
have it cruelly taken away from him.
The God Machine wrote music from the soul and no one
has touched me so deeply in a long time.
Jimmy Fernandez - most sadly missed person of 1994,
no matter what anyone says: "Who do all the things
have to change, just when they mean the most?".
Why Indeed ?
