I am very sorry for such a tragic loss in your family. I will pray for you.

If the South tried to gain independence from these Left wing Republicans, the North will destroy them all... and curse their memory for all eternity....
I haven't really recovered from those losses in my life, even though its been three years and others a little longer. I guess I am 'too sensitive' and still feel the emptiness in my heart.

Neil, may God be with you this week and bring you strength to continue on your journey. Your family are lucky folks to have a man with your sensitivity and caring attitude. Our prayers go with you.

Blue. You buried the boy today, and I feel for you and your people at the loss. There is no rhyme or reason why such a fine young man was taken from you. It happens.
From Ecclesiastes: For everything, there is a season, a time for everything under the heavens; a time to live and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to pluck up that which was planted.
A young man with promise was plucked up. I grieve with you.
