Sad Deal For Some Close Friends.....

[Lawdwaz]

I called a close friend of mine last Sunday afternoon, he lives in Colorado and we haven't talked a in few months.  He had some real bad news........his brother in law (who lives in Boston MA and is married to his sister) was walking out of work and slipped and fell on the ice earlier that same day.  Apparently he broke two vertebra in his neck; suffering severe spinal damage and went into cardiac arrest.

 

When we talked after I had called him he said that Mark was in a "halo" and on a ventilator, complete life support.  After looking closer they determined he had no brain function and was a quadriplegic.  The decision to release him to the Lord was made Tuesday afternoon and he lasted 5 minutes after being taken off life support............

 

I'm not sure of his age but I'm thinking 55-58 and is survived by his wife and two children.  What a horrible and tragic thing.

 

I just got a text from my buddy, he and his wife just got into Boston from Denver, even with the horrid weather.  Good thing as the family will need their support.

So whenever you think you have problems, along comes a story like this one that shows you how trivial your difficulties really are. My sincere sympathies go out to all those affected by this senseless tragedy.

Sad deal indeed......sorry to read about it. You wouldn't normally think that slipping and falling down can end your life. God bless.

Thoughts and prayers their way, never take things in life for granted they could be gone the next day. Being a new father leaving my wife and son in some sort of accident is one of my biggest fears.

[Steuben Jerry]

So sorry to hear about your friend's relative. Hearing about those things certainly helps me keep perspective on life.

Wow, shows how fragile life can be and how we should all be thankful for each day. My prayers go out to you and your family...

[papabear]

So sad to read of this. May God guide the family and all their friends through this Terrible loss. Give them peace in the memories and time they did have together.

You just never know when life will be turned upside down or come to an end. Live each day to it's fullest. Like it will be your last. And always let the ones you love most, know how you feel.

 

Prayers sent.

my condolences to your friend and family

 

just a reminder of why you never go to sleep mad at others and say I love you to the ones you do everyday. 

[Lawdwaz]

Thanks all, the prayers and well wishes are heard & appreciated.
