Such terrible news!
I don't know what to say. I'm sure there are not many words that can comfort you at this time. I never had the privilege to meet her but knowing you she had to be a wonderful person.
Thought and prayers my friend. Try to take care of yourself. God is taking care of her now.
All the best to you at this time.

There are no words I can offer to take your families pain away. However, please know that you all are in our prayers during this difficult time.
If there is anything I can do, just say the word. Whether it's just talking trucks with you for a while to rest your mind, or anything else, just let me know.

I am glad to hear that. I know it will be good to have your son home.
I hope the photo on the index page with you in the tree hanging the Stovbolt flag, will happily remind you of your friends here, and I am sure you have lots and lots of friends everywhere.
