The loss of a friend.....

[strongenough78]

I found out today that a good friend of mine was killed lastnight by a drunk driver while walking down the street. Matthew was a person that everyone could love, there wasn't a bad bone in that man's body. It's sad that his life had to end so sudden, and so tragically. Luckily they do have a person of interest as a suspect since the driver fled the scene on foot. All I ask of you as my friends is to PLEASE think twice about driving yours or anyone elses car no matter how little you've had to drink. And always becareful and watch out for yourselves out there, because you never know when tragedy may hit you. I would hate to see any of you or your loved ones, or anyone in general for that matter, have to go through something like this. Bless You all and I thank you for taking the time to listen.

Vern.

Vern:

I cannot tell you how sorry I am to hear of your loss. That is a tragic thing to have happen. Matthew did not deserve for any such thing to happen to him, no matter what sort of person he was. That he was a good person makes it doubly awful.

Thank you very much.

There are quite a few with us that are having a hard time with this. Even his co-workers are having a difficult time with him being gone. He always greeted you with a smile and always had something funny to say. He was 31 years old but a total kid at heart. He was honestly a person that no one could say anything bad about. He loved making his friends laugh and to keep them happy. Here's a link to one of the newscast videos if you're interested in seeing it. Plus you'll get a better understanding of how much Matthew was a part of our lives. Thank you so very much again.

Vern:

I'm so sorry for your loss. That is terrible. No doubt at all that Matthew was an awesome guy. FWIW, I'm sure he's still smiling.

My condolences. It's difficult to lose a good friend, made even harder when it's from a senseless act of alcohol abuse.

My Condolences:

Vern, go out to you, as does my Heart to you and your Friends that your Friend and his Families all knew. I haven't ever lost someone in an Accident of such, as far as like someone Drinking and Driving, but I have lost several real good Classmate Friends, who took their lives and some who were in a Wreck, but not because of someone Drinking and Driving.

I've also as many here have our losses from the unfortunate Health Issues and they are all very Dear to us and so sad to loose, other than just by Natural Causes.

I will Pray for you and your Friend and for his Peace. Know that his Spirit is up with our Heavenly Father and he/they will always be in our Hearts, Minds and Toughts forever.

Peace, Blessings, Prayers and Hugs, Steve

Am very sorry for your loss

This is the EXACT reason I would not help a employee that drinks to druken dazes most weekends get a car.

Talk to him. He still hears you.

Energy (and love) can neither be created nor destroyed, it merely changes form.

“With the Saints give rest, O Christ, to the soul of Your servant where there is no pain, nor sorrow, nor suffering, but life everlasting.”

To the dearly departed: “May your memory be eternal.”

So sorry for your loss.I agree with you about driving drunk one should not drive no matter how little they have had to drink.I almost lost my life to a drunk driver when I was younger.

Condolences Vern. I think it's a safe bet many of us have lost relatives and friends due to drunk driving. I lost three high school friends to it, in separate accidents.
