Title: Sad news Post by: Spanky on October 13, 2007, 06:51:53 PM A friend of ours died yesterday, early this morning. More a friend of my wife but still sad.
Here's what little story there is. http://www.nbc5i.com/news/14333659/detail.html# Title: Re: Sad news Post by: Fuzzy on October 13, 2007, 07:22:25 PM Sorry to hear that Spanky. :sad3:

Title: Re: Sad news Post by: E-A-G-L-E! on October 13, 2007, 09:36:49 PM Oh, no! I'm very sorry to hear that. :sad3:
Title: Re: Sad news Post by: Spanky on October 14, 2007, 02:56:48 AM I'm sorry. I removed my second post. It was unnecessary and graphic. I don't know why I posted it, was still in shock.
My wife spent most of the night at her best friends house. Everyone is in shock, especially her husband. The two were pretty close. Everyone went to high school together. This guy's wife is a total wreck, just going through the motions at this point. I was the outsider of the group, not having grown up with them, but I really feel sorrow for his wife and son. At 32 you shouldn't be a widow. I'm still a bit in shock having to get ready for work. I've read this post 4 times and I sound like I'm babbling so I'm just going to stop. Title: Re: Sad news Post by: Uisce Beatha on October 14, 2007, 05:30:13 AM Hang in there Spanky. Tough deal to be sure. I've been through it twice in the last five years. It's not easy going to funerals for the parent of elementary aged children. Way different than for someone who has lived a full and hopefully rich life.
Title: Re: Sad news Post by: stroh on October 14, 2007, 07:56:09 AM My sincerest condolences. You will all be in my thoughts.
Let me know if there is anything I can do. Title: Re: Sad news Post by: Spanky on October 14, 2007, 09:04:15 AM Let me know if there is anything I can do. Quote It's not easy going to funerals for the parent of elementary aged children. His son is 13. I don't know what this is going to do to him. I know he looked up to his dad. I haven't really heard how he is doing. Title: Re: Sad news Post by: spacey on October 14, 2007, 09:40:26 AM :sad3:
Title: Re: Sad news Post by: Seamus on October 14, 2007, 09:48:09 AM Sorry Spank, sad story.
Karma and white light headed your way. Title: Re: Sad news Post by: E-A-G-L-E! on October 14, 2007, 01:08:41 PM I'm sorry. I removed my second post. It was unnecessary and graphic.

You need others to support you, and talking about it helps. Don't feel bad about the second post either. An accident like that only adds to the shock, and friend's don't mind listening to the details - it helps us understand how you're feeling. I'm praying for you guys. :) Title: Re: Sad news Post by: tdcoly on October 14, 2007, 01:22:02 PM Quote His son is 13. I don't know what this is going to do to him. I know he looked up to his dad. I haven't really heard how he is doing. As much as possible, be there for the kid. My son's best friend's mother died of cancer when the boys were in middle school. The week before she died, she called me and apologizied for Nathan spending so much time at our house. What could I say? Title: Re: Sad news Post by: Zoot on October 14, 2007, 03:27:22 PM :(
Title: Re: Sad news Post by: Spanky on October 15, 2007, 03:13:13 AM Thanks all. Yesterday was tough. Today should be a better day.
And E-A-G-L-E, you are one of only a handful of women that made me cry. Thank you. Title: Re: Sad news Post by: Walfredo on October 15, 2007, 07:53:29 AM Sorry to hear that spanky.
