sdy certainly nailed it. I just don't have the words to comfort this family and friends, but I prayed that the One who has the power to comfort this young man's family/friends will do so.

And made a contribution.

I told wife that I felt dumb, because I had no words to comfort my dear friend. I said those words don't exist. The best I could do was a giant hug. The fact that he moved 300mi away took that off the table.

Y'all's support plus others have made it so he only has to deal with the grief only. For that I similarly have no words.

For once today I've cried tears of joy vs tears of agony. If I could only relay how thankful mom was. Between wifey's donation a another big donation, they have all expenses covered. The rest including the possibility of bereavement time for my buddy is immeasurable.

Thank you for all y'alls support. I'm so proud to be a member of this fine group.

Done and done. I will say a prayer for your friends son, Raymond. May he rest in peace. I will also say a prayer for Steven, Frankie and Emily, to help them make their way through this heartbreaking journey they are now on.

And thank you Jesse for being there for them all, and being a good friend.



It's all about clean living. Just do the right thing, and karma will help with the rest.

I am sorry for your loss. I don't often post my signature, but it helped me understand when our son was lost.




A wife who loses a husband is called a widow.
A husband who loses a wife is called a widower.
A child who loses his parents is called an orphan.
But...there is no word for a parent who loses a child, that's how awful the loss is!
