Thanks so much for that link, Becky. I've forwarded it to Cheryl.

In the past if I have ever been insensitive due to statements published in a newspaper,
I ask for forgivness and know that I will never say anything other than comforting words in the future.

Last night I went and layed in the snow next to where he was found. It's the only place that I feel his presence right now.
I read a couple of comments at the beginning of this thread but stopped because I want that spot to continue to be a comfort me.

There are no hard feelings, my heart is too shattered to hold any.
Bless the rescue squad who, I heard, made attempts at revival. We're so, so grateful for that.
Bless the mountain community that I have come to love so much and my mountain friends who have been a great comfort to me.

When grief is so-o-o deep and palatable that there are no words.......YOUR words(bolded)were just stunning it their clarity. I have
witnessed this clarity,perhaps one other occasion........a mom was being interviewed about the past death of her young son(under 10
years) and she was remembering how she missed that 'earthy dirt smell' of his laundry,as she held up an imaginary shirt to her nose and attempted to bring the memory of her son closer and make it real........altho I know you will NEVER be the same,please know your
son is safe and ok on another plane of existence.

Oh Cheryl......I just saw this thread and am SO very, very saddened. Be strong - we need to love and appreciate everyone, every day as we never know when our final hour will come.....just remember that we all need each other at one time or another....

:Smileflower: I'm so sorry for your loss...

Cheryl, I just now found out that it was your son in that unfortunate accident. Please call me if you need anything...I mean it...even if it's just a shoulder to cry on.

Thank you for your condolences.
Our heartfelt thanks to The Patriot Guard, the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association 3-1, friends and family who
came out to honor Scott and endured the terrible weather.
Scott was born April 1, 1970. We figure his last joke was the snow, snow, snow.
He made a mistake and paid the ultimate price for it but he was a wonderful man, a joy to know.
RIP my son.

Prayers and best wishes for you CapKazoo and your family.

The same from here as well. Please know my thoughts are with you today from afar. Nobody is a stranger in such a time, it could happen to any of us.

We are ALL guilty of making mistakes in our life and none of us are perfect or have any room to judge others. Your son sounds like he was a wonderful man and you should be so very proud of him as I'm sure you are.
