probably nobody has noticed, & it doesn't matter, but i've been a little inactive on the wix lately. on 6/16/07 my stepson jake age 18 was killed in a senseless d.u.i. related car crash. my ear is turning cauliflower from being on the phone, head spinning with funeral arrangements etc. you all are all the last to inform. now, i have told ALL my friends.... bottom line, all on this forum i have never met face to face, or shook your hand, but your all friends none the less, & i wanted you to know. save your time, your fingers etc in typing, i know your thoughts are their. my stepson had dope / booze issues which about ran me dry. his death was his destiny. i can't begin to convey the friendship which i feel via this site for all of you. all the best, tom

Sorry to hear about the loss, Tom. Good luck with getting everything back to normal. If you need anything, I'm sure that us WIXers would be happy to help.

I am very sorry to hear that Tom. A co-worker recently lost his 2-year old son in a pool drowning. Naturally it severely affected the family but it also hit everyone hard here at work since it is kind of like a family where I work (I am a lucky guy). I can't say that I have been in your shoes, but I certainly can at least start to imagine where you are right now. Get through it, get past it, as we all know life goes on not matter what. When you come out the other side your friends on WIX will be waiting.

Mike

That's a real drag. There is never a right time for things like this and no words to say that can really make things better. Nonetheless, our thoughts are with you.

My deepest condolences and sympathies. They say that nothing is impossible, but to find the way or words to put you at ease is impossible. You have all our prayers and thoughts.

Hang Tough my friend

Sorry Tom. I lost my 14 year old sister last year. It's rough I know.

Let me know if you need anything.

-Nate

Tom, I am sorry to hear that pal. I know a little about this as a girl I was dating in high school was killed by a drunk driver. If you need anything, please let me know. Ohio isn't that far away.
