    Guys,

    At 2:20 PM this afternoon I had a knock on the door, it was a police officer and the corner to inform Me that My brother lost control of his truck and hit a tree and was killed instantly. He was 48 years old single and leaves a 24 year old son behind. He was younger then Me but I looked up to him. Sorry to be a bother, but I can’t sleep and what do I do I am on the computer reading all the great postings on In-Depthangling for a peace of mind. Gosh I really like this Web site. May God bless you all. We Fish

    I’m so sorry to hear of this tragedy. You have many friends here at IDA that will keep you, your brother and your brother’s family in their thoughts and prayers tonight and in the days to come. Nothing can be said that will take away your grief but do know that you have many, many friends with you right now.

    We Fish~ So sorry to hear of your loss. As James stated, nothing anybody says can take away the pain/anger/sorrow you feel, but i’m sure everyone here will say a prayer for you and your family!

    Another sad note…I just talked to my wife, Amber. She just found out that a high school classmate of her’s died in a car accident this week. He was 26 years old. His pregnant wife and daughter were also in the car. His unborn child and himself did not survive. It really makes you realize how quickly life can be taken away from you. God Bless you all!

    Andy, first of all, you are never a bother. Don’t ever think that. We are your friends here. I am sorry to hear about your loss. It is never easy to take nor understand. Your brother is now in a place where there is no pain, nor sorrow, no troubles. He has made it to the other side. It is us who are still here that have that journey yet to make. It is us who still feel pain for not having that someone here with us. He doesn’t feel pain anymore Andy, only happiness. Only the body dies, his soul lives forever. His soul, the real him inside his body, lives forever with the Lord. Stay close to the Lord and you will be together again.
    Thanks, Bill

    Andy,
    Very sorry to hear of your loss. I believe that your brother is in a place where he can fish whenever he wants.
    You will be remembered in our thought and prayers.
    Just a reminder of how short our time is here and how we must take time to smell the roses and tell those people who we care for how much we love them.
