Sad day.....I have bad news

[Mt_Goat]

I just learned that my daughter Heather who has been in the hospital passed away. I know everyone here has been pulling for her since her injury and I really appeciate the support. Thank you all for the prayers and support.

[Cool Canuck]

So Sorry Larry.

[a2jfreak]

Words cannot ease your pain, but that is all that I have.

I know when I lost my uncle that nothing that was said eased my pain, but the fact that they bothered to try meant something later on when I was able to collect my thoughts.

goat, I am so very sorry for your loss.
You and your family will remain in my prayers.

Heather is in a better place now and one day you will have the chance to see her again, healthy and full of life and laughter.

God bless you.

I am sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you and her mother.

[Aranyic]

I'm so sorry to hear that mtgoat, I'll be keeping your family in my thoughts.

[Coaster]

I really am sorry to learn that.. words can not describe what I want to put here.

I as well will be keeping you in my thoughts...

[PyobliE]

Really sorry mate, cant imagine what you must be going through... My thoughts also.

[Brilt]

There are no words to describe the loss of a child. All i can say is that we are here you and the pain we feel, though real ,is no where near what you must be feeling.
i find that remembering the good times helps ease that pain.

You and your family will be in my prayers, God bless

[Tex]

Oh my god... I don't knwo what to say buddy. Call me.

Tex

[Cyclonite]

Oh, no. :(

My condolenses... My prayers are with you and your family.

[LIQuid]

Real sorry to hear, i'll be thinking about you and your family.
My wishes to you.

[karatekid]

mtgoat, there is really no way to put these feelings into words. I was really hoping she would pull through, and things were starting to sound so good. I am sorry to hear this. I too, will be thinking of you.

[kanezfan]

i am so sorry for your loss. I don't have children, i just cannot imagine what that must be like.

i dont know what to say. i'm sorry, this is so horrible.

[BLuKnight]

I'm real sorry to hear about this. It's very hard to lose a loved one. I'll be praying for your family as well.

[Shorty]

Larry..

:( To think we were only chatting last week about the hope in all of this.

My heart goes out to you and your family. It's so saddening. This the worst.

[TBonZ]

A sad day indeed, I mourn your loss mtgoat. My deepest sympathies and respect to you and your family.:(

[Black Hawk]

Just no word that can describe. You'll be in my prayers. May God help you in this moment.

[Thrax]

Holy shit. :(

Throughout this entire ordeal I had expected her to pull through. Every fibre of my being believed fully in the hope that she would get to smile or hug again, I fed into it...Let me become an unabated truth.

All the more does it sting now that the truth is shattered, dashed upon the rocks of such bleak misfortune.

What is this I feel? A grave heaviness between sadness and misery, a missing part of us all...And most importantly you, MT, is gone.

~Sighs~

An entire community left stunned by a loss they never expected to come.

I'm so sorry, MT. So very, very sorry.

[Lincoln Imp]

It is indeed a sad day, you and your family have my deepest sympathies mtgoat.
you all will be in my thoughts

[Necropolis]

My deepest sympathies to you and your family. You're in my thoughts prayers.

[Mackanz]

[Flintstone]

I wish I had something to say that would be appropriate, but, alas, there is nothing, but my heart is with you and yours and may you have the strength to look forward to better things. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

[pcscustom]

Oh my god! I am so sorry larry.. I would say i know what you have been going through but i dont.. I do how ever know how much everyone has been pushing for a good recovery.. I really dont know what to say other than i am very very sorry. I know how it is to loose people close to you and it is hell.. But if you ever need anyone to talk to i am here..

I am so so sorry for your loss. no words of mine can ease the pain you must be feeling. my thoughts and prayers are with you.

[ktulu_tco]

My heart goes out to you for your loss, my deepest condolences.

[EMN]

:(
I'm really sorry to hear that. It's quite a shock, since she seemed to be getting better. I am really sorry, my deepest condolences.

[Kristof2]

Wow this is terrible. After reading about the accident and then her quick recovery I thought for sure that she was going to be fine.

I hope that you can somehow gather strength from this and know that we are all thinking of her and you.

[citrixmeta]

My deepest sympathies, i can't even imagine what its like, we are here for you if you need anything.

After 9\11 there was a graphic of a fireman sitting on cement chunks-- Someone had drawn in an angel over that man with ozygen mask edge marks and dust all over his gear hunched over weary and tired and crying. The only thing I can hope and pray for is that God took her as he did the firemen's friends and the people that fireman had tried to rescue before havign to stop in exhaustion and overcome with grief.

I do not know enough details about Heather toknow the exact right words to use, but have worked in a State Hospital and other institutions that worked with and tried to help those stricken with illness and with disabilities that almost crippled their abilities to function. A few passed on while in those institutions and while those of us in the staff said little to the relatives about how we felt personally in some cases the passing on was a respite from a life that could not be fulfilled the way we would have and did hope it would be.

I hope for you that you know God in your life and that He comfort you and let you know your daughter lives forever free of her physical limits now and that He reassures you that you will someday see her again as a being of beauty with the essence of what made her HER intact and whole and undamaged.

I hope someday I shall see my father, who died at home of inoperable cancer, and my grandfather who died 4 months after his third stroke, and younger friends who got killed while I was in high school. Sometimes quick is best-- and God makes that hard choice and they join him (not by the intervention of human hand).

I grieve with you, and for the many who lose friends and loved ones each day on this Earth. Earth is God's community. While living is great not living even 10% to the full sometimes is worse for a soul than passing on to heaven. You and I and all here will remember your anecdotes of her life, and let us post some of the best of those also. My father told me, a week before cancer took his voice, to remember him as he was in the best of times we had together. This works. The hurt of his passing does not vaporize, it gets partly buried under or subsumed by the good memories of what he and I did together that was good-- and that is what we pledged to share when we next met. It took him a month more to die, at home. After three years, it still hurts some. So, I cannot hurt FOR you, but can be very compassionate and am.

God Bless You and keep you and your daughter safe to meet in Heaven since this must be. Just another person with a faith in God. (I am not denigrating other choices of belief with this, just hoping my expression may help in some small way to give hope and strength to move on until called ourselves to any who may so need that.)

[Ageek]

Thanks-- but human caring is the core here. And replacing many or some hurting thoughts with what good there is. I do word pictures better than hardware engineering, others do hardware better, all of us who are or will be the core of Icrontic in this part of it care, and mtgoat needs most to know he has friends adn a support group here and, I hope, does. If I can help, I am also willing.

John Danielson.

[bothered]

I don't think I've ever read anything on a forum that effected me like this, I only 'know' you through this forum but there is comunity here and I count many friends that i'll never see. Lots of people are with you right now and you're in thier thoughts and prayers.
God bless you and all your family,

bothered.

[Armo]

goat,
i know that we have never met, or spoken man to man, but i feel for you loss as though you were my best friend. i know that words have little effect comming from "strangers" but we are a tight group never the less. Rest In Peace my dear, Rest In Peace Bart Williams, you two shall never be forgotten for as long as I live


~A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam and for a brief moment its glory and beauty belong to our world. But then it flies again and though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.~

[MrBill]

Larry,
I'm extremely sorry for your loss. I don't think anything can compare to the loss of a child. There are no words of comfort that can be given at a time like this.

I have buried 2 brothers, but I can't imagine the pain of losing a child.

Just know that we are thinking about you and praying for you and your family.

God Bless!

mtgoat:

I'm so sorry to hear the bad news, my thoughts are with you and your family.
Please, accept my most sincere condolences.

[LIN]

Larry, my heart goes out to you and your family. I cannot imagine what you are going through, and I am deeply saddened by your pain. They say, that death is hardest on those left behind, and I believe that those who pass, are held in gentler hands. I wish you comfort in the days ahead, and the promise that the love you had will never end. God bless,

[Mt_Goat]

I truely appreciate everones prayers and thoughts!!! It has taken a little while to get back here and I felt that I should. Part of me feels so numb, another very sad for never to hear or see her again while another part of me knows that she is better off now and will suffer no more and yet there is such a big hole ripped right out of me. My faith tells me that she was at the brink of the age of innocence and God has spared her the fate many of us are yet to see. I have had a deep respect for all of you fellow members before any of this happened. When my wife first posted my respect grew enorously and I felt I should share the outcome with all of you. There has been a lot of loss in my lifetime of those close to me. It has only been 6 years since loosing my brother, 4 years since loosing my best friend that saved my life where we were the only survivors of our team (S.F./ Army) where we lost 10 others in one day(early '80's), my mother 8 years ago and my father 11 years ago. It has been hard to go through each on their own and feels like God has a plan for me that I am still here. I know I certainly should have been dead at least 4 times so far. I will keep thinking of all of you wheather I am posting or not!!!

Here is a picture of Heather when she was well.

God bless all of you!

[Enverex]

Very sad news, not something I was expecting at all after reading the other thread.

Please except my grievances...

[hpr]

Really sorry to hear about your loss :(

my thoughts will be with you

[primesuspect]

Larry:

I think it's beautiful that so many people of so many different faiths can collect here and share their hearts and souls with you during this painful time. Let that be the testament of your beautiful daughter's life. Take solace in the good times and keep her memory dear and she will live forever. Find her spirit wherever it rests, for she will always be seeking you out. She will be with you always.

[stoopid]

My condolences. Be strong and god be with you and your daughter.

[Slacker]

If there were any words that would ease your pain, I wouldn't hesitate a second to tell you them. But there are none that I know of. My deepest condolences to you and everyone she shared her life with. Time will heal the chunk of you torn away by her passing; my thoughts will be with you until then.

[JPP]

More as I could say has already been expressed.
My condolences go to you and your family.
JPP

[Coaster]

I agree with Alex, this is heart wrenching but thanks for letting us see your beautiful daughter. I am warmed to see such a community gathered together in unity when it really matters most of all.

May god be with her.

Something a Cousin gave me when my Mother died-

Do not stand at Her grave and weep,
She is not there, She does not sleep,
She is iced diamonds glimpsed on snow,
She's with you everywhere you go,
She's the birds in encircled flight,
She's the stars that shine at night,
She's there with you and here with me,
Her bodies gone but Her spirit is free,
So do not stand at Her grave and cry,
She isn't there, She didn't die.

With love, Bill.

[Clutch]

I'm really sorry to hear of this bad news. My thoughts are with you and your family, and if you need anything at all then don't hesitate to ask us.

Deepest Condolences MTGoat.

[CyrixInstead]

I'm so sorry about this Larry. It really got to me when I saw that picture you posted of her. She was so pretty.

It makes you realise how fragile we really are. My grandad's currently in hospital with kidney failure, my nana has cancer, and my ex-girlfriend's nana is also having tests for secondary cancer.

All so sad. My condolances - I can't even begin to imagine what you've been through.

[Geeky1]

Larry, I'm very, very sorry to hear this. My condolences to you and your family.

[Polock]

Can't believe it..I'm lost for words. MTgoat and your family have my prayers and best wishes.

Seems as though I spend too much time in controversy with my 2 teenage daughters...

today, I'll hug them and tell them I love 'em.

Polock

[trippin]

Life sure is fragile this is a reminder of our own mortality.
I'm very sorry to hear this news and I give you my best wishes.

[Leonardo]

May God bless you and your family. Thank Him for the time that He blessed you with her.

My heart goes out to you. I can't imagine a more heart-rending event than the loss of a child.

Lynn Harder

[^Ben]
