[u]EDIT[/u]: Please note the date of this post.
I just wanted to let everybody know that the other night (October 9th), my younger sister, Melissa, was killed in a tragic car accident. I realize that none of you knew her, but I want to spread the word anyways, to ensure that she is remembered.
If you click the link to my MSN Space in my sig, you'll find a photo tribute as well as an account of exactly what happened. Please, feel free to leave your comments, as any and all thoughts are appreciated. I know I can count on the B.net community during these hard times.

Damn man, I'm sorry to hear that. I really don't know what to say because I have never gone through anything like that and I hope I never do. Keep your head up.
-

Wow thats heavy dude, nice tribute.
-
I'm sorry Big Black Bear. You always seem like a good humored and fun guy so I assume your sister was as well. My thoughts go out to you and your family for your loss. Take care brother.
-
*cries*
-
I....I'm sorry. I know how it feels to lose family and...it must be hard. Let's have a moment of silence for her. *moment of silence and then rifles go off and trumpets start playing like a military memorial* I'm sorry for you. I'll tell my CO and maybe we can have a memorial for her.(Not that you would see it since my camera doesn't work and no one else I know has one)
-
*pats Big Black Bear on back*
-
Whoa, sorry, thats sad to hear.
-
dammit i hate when i hear that people get hurt or pass away. hope you get through it ok.
-
I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Our family also had to deal with a death of a loved one in a car accident. My family's thoughts and prayers go out to yours..
-
Sad to hear it mate. My sympathies are with you.
-
Thanks everyone. It's so good to know that how much everyone cares. I know nothing can bring her back, but I I will do everything I can to make sure she is honored and remembered.
-
ill pray for yoo. i would invite you to play golf with me but... sadly i dont live anywhere near you. Life is a strange thing. God has a time for all of us to leave this earth and join him in eternity and peace. Just remember... shes in a much better place.
-
Sorry man. May she rest in peace.
-
Bear, you and your family have my deepest sympathies.
-
I'm sorry for your loss. This has made me realise how close my brother was from dying in a car accident.

[i]*hugs* Sorry to hear that. Hope you will be ok. -Diz[/i]

Hey man, I know what your feelin' right now, and it sucks I know, but just try to keep her memory going, and just try to laugh. Laugh about anything, a memory of her, something she liked, whatever, but without laughter you'll just tear yourself apart.
-
Well, may she rest in peace as you said. Sorry to hear it man... [Edited on 8/15/2005]

Thanks a lot Diz... It's nice to have the comfort from a female as well. mastchef, you speak the truth, and I'm doing what I can. It does get easier as time goes on, though.

Okay, now I'm not normally one to bump my own threads, but I feel that this is very important, and I want to give it one last shot. Please forgive me. It's just a little dis-heartening when a thread as trivial as "Rate the username above you" can get up to almost 50 pages, and so few can take their time for somethng that is truly important... Honoring someone who has passed away. There. I've said my piece, and I am done. Thanks again to everyone who HAS shown their support.
-
Remember that griefing over your lost one is the first step to recovering (not that I'm saying you're mentally unstable) and you've taken a great move in the right direction by lessening your burden here on B.net.
-
Wow. That's awful. I am so sorry. I lost both my grandparents to a car accident in August of 2000. What you're going through is terrible. My best to you and your family.
-
Truly sorry to hear of such a tragic incident, my heart goes out to you and your family.
-
I can't say I know how you feel, because I don't, but, it must be very hard for you. Sorry man. Sorry I didn't say more, I'm not good when it comes to things like this.
-
I am extremely sorry to hear about Melissa,I do not know you but I promise you i will think about her tonight.And as others have said dont let it bring your life down.I am again sorry.
