OT: Sad News
 

Sorry to bring the real world into this wonderful forum that has brought me some respite from the medical issues that my family has gone through these past few years with my son. Yesterday, at 12:30 pm, we lost our sweet James. We are sure that his soul has passed to a more gentle and beautiful place. Through his wish to be an organ donor, his strength and generosity has given the gift of precious time back to three people. His donation will allow these recipients to add another candle to their birthday cake, be there to walk their daughter down the aisle, see their son's first homerun or to simply to feel the sun on their face for one more amazing day. I don't think I'll be back on the board for awhile, but please know that so many of your posts and messages made me smile over the years.

Your friend,

Steve

Steve, I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

God bless you and your family, Steve - I can't imagine the feeling, but will say a prayer for all of you and for James today.

Steve, I'm sure there's no words to help soothe you, but please know we are with you, here. All the best.

I'm really sorry about your son Steve. As a father I can't fathom how on earth anything in the world can be worse.

Generous indeed for what he has done for others being a donor. Really sorry Steve try and hang in there the best that you can.

This is so sad to hear. I can't begin to imagine what your family is going through right now, or what your family and especially your son went through the past few years. I pray you are all able to take some solace in the fact that he is in a much better place.

You'll see him again!

Brings tears to my heart to read that. I dont have any kids, but spend all my time, when i can with my 8yr nephew.

Terrible news. My prayers are with you and your family.

I am very sorry to hear about James and I applaud his decision to help others, you and your family will be in my thoughts. I look forward to your return to the board, hopefully we can help you start smiling again when you are ready.

I am very sorry for your loss. Prayers to you and your family.

Jeff

So very sorry for you and your family.

I'm really sorry for your loss Steve.

So sorry for your loss Steve. I have two daughters and two stepsons and cannot fathom losing any of them. A parent should never have to bury their child. Organ donation is a noble cause that more of us should take up. Stop back here often as the folks here are a great source of comfort.

I am so sorry for your loss. As I read this, the thought of losing my 10 or 13 year old sons is crushing. I can't imagine. I will pray for peace for you and for fond memories. May God be your strength today and all your days.
Eric

I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

God Bless,

Steve, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I can't begin to imagine how difficult losing a child is. Take care.

Joe

Ugh. That is heart-wrenching. As stated, there is no greater tragedy than a parent burying their kid. My thoughts are with you and your family. Considering the circumstances, you have a great outlook....your son's passing has given immeasurable joy to several other families and that should not be taken lightly. For that, he is a hero. God bless.

Such horrible news, and I know the pain you must be feeling. I hope you are able to get through this.

Prayers to you and your family.

David

So sorry to hear this. My prayers are with your son and family.

So sorry for your very great loss.
Larry

So sorry. I know you must be overwhelmed and exhausted. Get rest. It is important. We are all thinking of you.

Steve- you and your family are in my thoughts. Net54 will miss you while you are away, but will be happy when you return...and we know you will.

Sincerely,
Raymond Culpepper
