Oh no! I am so sorry! Sandman, you were my first contact on here. I have learned a lot from your wisdom in the forums. I will pray for peace and comfort for you and your family. God Bless!
Oh, gawd, Sandman, I'm so sorry. There is nothing worse than losing a child. It sounds like it was unexpected, which is still more of a shock. Know that we and all of us here on tnet are thinking of you and yours. Please let us know if there is anything we can do. I'm very sorry... - Noodle
Dear Lord, lest I continue in my complacent ways, help me to remember that someone died for me today. And if there be war, help me to remember to ask and to answer "am I worth dying for?" - Eleanor Roosevelt
