Hi Douglas,

Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your precious sons. I saw a post to you from Elyse of latest conversation. I thought I'd post on your wall and welcome you at this time. I had only one child my son Joe who was killed by a drunk driver 2010 just 6 years ago after Easter dinner with me and his dad. He was on his motorcycle because I later learned the battery in his car wasn't working plus my mother decided to cook chicken and was too tired to come to dinner. Normally I welcome new people on "Loss of a Child." Sometimes on other groups too. I can understand what you are saying about your son Andrew graduating with a promising future. It was the same with my son Joe. He had received his Master's Degree in accounting and finance a couple months before. There is a member I recall from being on "Loss of a Child" that had 3 daughters and two of them passed. I'm glad that you have a daughter. The other day a friend of mine told me about "Compassionate Friends" where she's attended for the loss of her daughter. If you haven't joined "Loss of a Child" then you may want to do that. If you want to talk just click on my name and I'll get back to you.

Sincerely, Barbara
