The loss of a friend.....

[mixfinder]

In the quiet moments

I am holding you close in love, support and prayer. The quiet times are when the feelings will flood over you. In accepting the grief you are able to move to memories, the place where you can remember Matthew as he was and is.

Thank you all so very much.....

...for your kind words and support. Everytime I read a new message it brings tears to my eyes. You all are such good people and I can't thank you enough from the bottom of my heart. And my heart goes out to as well for losing loved ones. It just goes to show that you should live life to it's fullest and make the most out of everyday, cause you never know when it may be your last.

Vern, that's an awful thing to happen. My mother is a retired Trauma Nurse and Paramedic. After seeing too many of them, she made me swear never to do that. I never did, although that may have something to do with her saying something about knowing how to 'cause great pain and suffering without leaving those pesky bruises for evidence...'

You'll find your way back to your happy place and then the good memories will come.

In Deepest Sympathy

I'm so sorry for your loss, Vern. You and your friend's family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks again everyone. Your kind words and sympathy are really helping. A few of us got together lastnight and reminisced about all the fun we had together with Matthew. I know he was there with us since we were all in such an uplifted mood, laughing, telling old stories and letting him know that we're thinking about him constantly. You all have been a great help and again I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Love you!

So sorry about your friend. You just never know. He seemed like someone that I would have loved to meet.
Sorry for you loss.

I am so sorry about your friend.

I used to not even think about haveing a beer or glass of wine with friends and driving home, until I was hit head-on by a drunk six years ago.

Since then I won't chance doing to someone else what that man did to me.

Check you local directory to see if there is a DUI victims center close by that can help you deal with your loss.

Thank you Brent and Iheartmaytag........

Brent, you're right, he's definitely someone you would never forget. He had a heart of gold and wore it on his sleeve. And he was so much fun to be around. There was never a dull moment with him.

Iheartmaytag, I'm so sorry to hear about your accident. I am glad though to know that you made it through ok. If I get real bad I'll for sure check into a victim center close by. Matthew had so many friends we've all been leaning on each other for support and it's been helping. Thank you all for your help.
