The gentleman known here as Lalo Telling departed this existence today at 2pm. He died as he lived – gracefully and peacefully. Emspar thanks you all for all the love and good wishes sent from the virtual world to her and Lalo. She asks that you observe her period of mourning by holding off on direct messages or tweeting to her. She is grateful for your kindness and support and caring but needs a time for grief and reflection.
Lalo – Your memory will be for a blessing. ❤
Shalom.
He will be so very missed.
aleikhem shalom dear.
Shalom, Lalo. Rest well.
For Lalo – Go with God.

My heart breaks for all who knew and loved him! May he be at peace.
Find a star and rest peacefully Lalo. And when you see Sally, tell her I said hello.
Such an soul of grace and dignity. Trying to offset the feelings of loss against the goodness of having the opportunity to know such a person.
All can do is send up a quiet “Lalo, thank you for being you, for us, with us. You *mattered*”.
Your kindness touched so many. Thank you for being you, and for sharing the time you had with us, Lalo.
Peace and love.
A new star in the sky tonight – farewell Lalo
Farewell
Shalom dear Lalo. The few months that I knew you brought you very close. Your kindness, your generosity and the love of your home on Takamaka made you a very special person – now may you find the peace you deserve. You are in the place where there will be no more pain and no more tears.
Loving hugs to Emspar and to all his friends.
peace, happiness and beauty, Lalo
Goodbye friend. Rest well, and good luck on your journey.
Farewell good friend. 😦
RIP Lalo Telling.
A new journey has started
Among many who were friends
And for the one who has departed
Left us with inspiring trends
Clear Skies Fox
Thank you Lalo, for all your humor, your kindness, your wisdom. May you enjoy your next journey with as much courage and dignity as you did this one.
I only knew Lalo through Twitter, but his light beamed brightly through his tweets and blog. My condolences to those who knew and loved him. He will be missed.
RIP sweet Lalo….. Shalom

Blessing and peace rest with you. You are such an inspiration and happy spirit. Thank you for sharing yourself with us so openly.
Farewell
I met Lalo a few times in both SL and IW but mostly knew him through his blog. His joy in exploring SL and its history was a joy to read. I am saddened to learn of his death, SL has lost one of its true leading lights. My sympaties to his family in both RL and SL. Namaste, Lalo.
I do not know whether it’s just me or if perhaps everybody else encountering issues with your blog. It appears as though some of the text within your posts are running off the screen. Can somebody else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them too? This might be a issue with my browser because I’ve had this happen before.
Appreciate it
