Rest In Peace
[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.

That sucks tremendously. It's unreal to lose someone you have laughed and fought with. Haha. it really does. It'll get easier with time really. Its been a year since my dad died, although I do still remember him, it's now much easier.
-
Thanks guys. As always, your kind words and thoughts are much apreciated. I just want to point out that, like frozenbear said, this is not exactly a recent event. I edited my post on the first page to point that out. I just revived the thred to get some people's opinions on the headstone that was designed for her.
-
Sorry to hear what happened, i dont know u but i bad for what happened. stay strong

He's BBB man! This thread is old...so anyone wondering why we are posting like we know him...or who is is...that's why.
-
who r u/
-
How do you think he'd feel if the post he dedicated to his sister got locked because of your spamming?
-
Well, they're going to have to make an acception here! This is important. BBB is right, how come all these stupid threads like "FLOOD ELECTIONS" get all the replies? Its ridiculous!
-
As wrenching as it is...rules are rules Spongey, no bumping.
-
Keep this on the front page everybody! C'mon!

I am really sorry Bear. I lost my grandfather to Cancer, I loved him a lot. And we had to put my dog to sleep, I'm an animal fanatic, so this was really bad for me. And I've lost four cats to coyotes (at least, we think it was coyotes). And my Mom lost her best friend to Cancer. And my aunt lost her husband to a heart attack. I know how you feel. It's awful and it feels like someone is ripping out your insides day and night. But pray, and talk to her in Heaven. It made me feel better. It's almost like once you talk to them some of the pain is lifted. Just think of all the happy times you had and know that you will see her again. It's not goodbye, it's see you later. I will pray for you and your family. You and your family have my deepest sympathies. God Bless

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Ninja_Biscuits Hmmm. I think there is a bit too much on it myself, but that's just my opinion.[/quote] You don't have to say that that's just your opinion, everyone knows that already Sorry this is late, I haven't really had the time but- Big Black Bear, I know what you're going through I've been in the same position; sort of. But, remember: don't dwell on the past [i]too[/i] much. It's okay to think about something like that for awhile, but not for too long or else you'll be looking back all the time instead of forward. Trust me I found out the hard way. Deepest Sympathy, -Chloe' [Edited on 10/6/2005]

~Whistles~ Wow, they take pride in their work.

Thanks Consecrator, but I didn't come up with the design... Just showing it off. And yes, they can engrave it. It's amazing what they can do with a slab of granite. Have a look: [url]http://www.monumentsonline.ca/gallerypage.htm[/url]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Big Black Bear Thanks guys, I appreciate the sentiments... That's more the maturity level I was hoping for. Like Midship said though, it has been almost 2 months, so things have gotten much better. That being said, certain things do still bring it to mind. One of those things is seeing the headstone that was designed. I still haven't gotten many comments of it, so I'll post it again. [url=http://x7.putfile.com/10/27717592621.jpg]What do you think?[/url][/quote] ? Can you actually get that engraved?

I am truly sorry to hear of this devestating and unfortunate accident in your life. I know that the death of a loved one is never easy, and that you may have heard this a whole bunch of times before, but as much as you're told "be strong" Don't go overboard, if you want to cry, go ahead and do so, if you want to say what you think, do so. It will really help you if you let your emotions run free for a while, but don't take it to heart and do something stupid, just be yourself and think of the good times. What I'm saying might not make sense now, but it will in time. Again, I am truly sorry to hear of your loss.
-
I can offer you nothing except my condolences and my prayers. I know it doesn't mean much at the moment but take it from someone who knows - In time things will get better. Losing a loved one is the hardest thing but remember that they are never truly gone from you. Nobody and nothing can take away that person from your heart and from your memory.

Ok, all of you need to have a break.You dont even know this guy and your speaking like your his best friend.[B]what the freakin hell?!?!?[/b]

Wow, that is very sad...I may not have known her, but my condolences...sorry man, all I can say is try and think of the good times you had. There's no point in being sad, she wouldn't want that. So laugh, be happy, and know that she would definetly approve.

*mole_40 weeps" ive have had many dethes this past mounts both sucides. im so srry to here this but like dmb said keep your head up and dont let it affect you. all it brings is pain and suffering. may she rest in peace god bless
-
I have never lost a loved one in a car accident, but I cannot begin to even imagine the pain and suffering you are feeling. My dearest of empathy is with you, and just try to remember the good times you've had with her. Remember this: the Lord found it as her time to pass on to this world and join him in the kingdom of heaven. She is in a much better world now.
-
That will be a scar on your soul for a long time. I will tell you only one thing, and that is to not put on a strong face; bottling up emotions will kill you inside, especially something as horrible as this. It's been almost two months, be strong, live on for her. [Edited on 10/5/2005]

i couldnt imagine what it would be like to lose a close sibling. i myself have only lost a neighbor and a fellow marching band member (i cant say i was close to him, he was more like the occasional conversation friend.) my neighbor died of cancer last year and ever since my family moved in next door to her when i was in 2nd grade, she was almost like a 3rd grandma to my brother and i. the story about my friend from marching band is a bit more complicated. freshman year he played baritone, (kinda like a tuba but smaller. [i play it this year]), and i was kinda mean to him for the first couple weeks when i didnt know him. and as the year went on i was a friend of his so by the time we went to hawaii for a competition we would talk to each other and stuff. but then sophomore year he and a few other bandos left to go to a new high school that just opened that year. he came to a few football games and talked to his friends in the stands, and then one day while he was waiting for a ride after soccer practice, he was hit by a car. it was a freak accident because the car was driven by an elderly woman who didnt have anyone to pick up at the school and she mistook the gas for the brake and then she lost control. my friend was sitting right next to a stop sign when the car hit him and ran him straight into the wall of a classroom. one could only hope that he didnt die a painfull death. i dont think any of those experiences would even come close to losing a sister. my sincere condolences to you.

the only advice i can give you is to try to be as pure as she was so you guys can meet togher in heaven to have more fun times.
