Sad News

I know all you guys are getting ready to pull all your trucks out from storage and go riding. I just want to say drive safely.
Me and my wife buried our youngest son today, he died in a car wreck earlier this week. He was 19 and still had a full life ahead of him. He wasn't a speeder nor a bad driver yet this still happen.

It saddens me to hear that. I am very sorry to hear that. Our prayers will be with you also. I have a 19 year old daughter and just couldn't imagine what you are going thru.

My youngest son just got his learner's permit, that's fear of every new, and older, driver's parents. I can't imagine what's it's like to lose a child, our prayers are with you.

Sorry to hear of your tragedy. I'm in my late 60's and have three sons and one daughter. Only the daughter lives in our state. I can't wait for our sons to call each week, just to say they are ok, gives me pleasure. It's not right for out children to go before us. It is all most to much for me just to put down our dogs at the end of their life. Over the years I've had to do this six times. The pain is horrible each time. May God heal your family's broken hearts and help you go on. Turn your love to other members of your family as life is short for all of us. We will pray for your family. chuck

My deepest sympathy

When I read this thread I was overcome with sadness. I can't imagine your loss but we offer our support. Life can change instantly; I hope you get through this with a minimum of pain. It really hits home how precious life is.
Take things day to day, and accept all the support I'm sure you are receiving.

Jack,
I am SO sorry for your loss. If I may, I have written a paper that has helped me get through the last four years since my wife died.... If you IM me your email address I could send it to you.

You and your family are in my prayers.

Jack,

My heart is with you, I lost a cousin who was 24 recently. One instant he was joking and talking to my brother 30 seconds later the car was rolled and he was dead. There is no way for any of us to truly console you. My heart and prayers are with you in this incredibly hard time.

There can be no words that accurately express our sorrow for your loss.

As many have said, you will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.

May the knowledge that all the members of this forum are a part of your extended family and share your grief

So sorry to hear of your loss, that is so sad. A reminder our hobby isn't all fun. I have three sons in their 20's and still fear that late-night phone call.
