we lost a nephew
to deep sadness unexplained
count four curly heads
bowed to weep in mother's lap
nothing left to do but pray

Chrislane, I am SO sorry for your loss, and the loss of those children's father, and her husband.  Sometimes it is the unexplained that can cut so deep.  Peace be with him.

Chris, the vision of the four curly-haired children crying in the lap of their grieving mother, fills me will sorrow.

I send my love to all those left behind,

Love & Everlasting Life,
Linda

Sharon, Donna & Linda - thankyou so much.
It is indeed a sad and questioning time. It helps abit to write it out.

Chris..you know we send our love and prayers from here.
Our hearts go out to Craig's wife and children
and extended family members..including you and Rick.
I know Rick is devastated but should not feel guilt at not being able to help.  
How could he have known?
How was anyone to know?  How could they have helped?
This was Craig's choice, for whatever reason.
Such a shocking time for all, and yes,
a time to hold our own so very close.
But, a time to hold on to the good memories also.
Please remember I'm keeping you in thought and prayer.
Love, Teed.

Though I be a "stranger" I can and do feel for all involved in this sadness.  Sincere condolences.

This is particularly touching to me as I've lost friends this way.  I'm so sorry for your loss.  Ken

Chris...my condolances to you...I've had to learn that "always make time" the hard way.
