I feel your pain. I went through quite a rough spot when Keith died a couple years ago.

I think I speak for everybody here when I say this: We are here for you.

Sorry to hear about your buddy dying, LiLbRo. Sometimes it seems that life just doesn't make sense when something like this happens. And best wishes from me to you and your buddy's family.

The pain of loosing someone close to you is one of the worst feelings you can feel. Be sure to talk to your family and friends, if you have to cry, let it out man. I'm so sorry to hear of your friend passing away, my thoughts go out to his family.

Really hard when this kind of thing happens LiLbRo, you and the young mans family have my deepest sympathy. I have never got used to funerals for the very young or the truly aged, it doesn't seem to matter the age of the person if it is sudden and unexpected.

That is exactly how I felt while reading those two articles... very very scary. I do a good bit of Interstate driving myself, sometimes into the late evening and night. Hopefully this can be a lesson to many about the dangers of night driving and other lives can be saved. I'm so sorry and so sad to hear about this horrible news.

Such sad news.. I'm so sorry, LiLbro. Condolences to you, and to the Parker family.

... they had placed his lungs, liver, pancreas, kidneys and heart," Tim's mother said. "In our minds there's nothing else to do. In that way Tim's death can help someone else and that helps us to know a family can hold on to a loved one for some time."
Bless.

LilBro, I sympathize completely. I attended the wake of a buddy of mine just the other day. He had been drinking when he rolled his suburban and he hadn't been wearing his seatbelt. He was 49.

That's sad... The kid did a great thing being the designated driver and ended up dying and still was able to help others by donating his organs.

He lives on through the thoughts, prayers, and organs he gave to others....
