Ginger:

He sent me a number of them as well.  I had tried calling last week 
to ask him a question about one of the books, and when he didn't 
answer, I assumed he was out visiting someone.  I had hoped he was 
having a good time.  I still hope the same.

Your line about the Death of the Discworld greeting him was much 
needed amusement as I am still crying.  I am now going to imagine 
their potential conversations and laugh as I did when conversing with 
Haggridd, remembering him as he was:  someone who always made me 
laugh until I hurt.

Take care everyone, Ginger
