Salt Lake Tragedy

[edthediscoman]

For those watching the news, it was quite a bad week for our family, as my brothers wife was one of those killed at Trolley Square in Salt Lake City nearly two weeks ago. I have just returned from Salt Lake, and planning on going back in a couple of weeks to help him out mentally. Vanessa was such a great person, and I wanted all to know.
Please see the website we set up in her honor.

Man, that's terrible.

Sorry for your loss.

One of the victims was a former student of my GF's. She was also a friend of her daughters.

Peace

It looks like she enjoyed the life she had, and lived well and rightly. Such a life is never wasted, though loss is always painful for everyone.

I am sorry that your family had to experience this loss. Be strong for them.

Cheers,

Kennith

When that happened all I could think about was the friends I have who live in SLC and how glad I was that they all were safe. Obviously, I missed one.

Condolences and Godspeed

OMG Ed!

I just went to the website and realized I was talking about your brother's wife in my previous post and didn't even realize it until I saw the Cincinnati address for the donations.

Maybe I didn't recognize her married name. (The GF mentioned a different last name.)

Double checked and found the story in one of our local newspapers.

I will tell my GF and her daughter about the website. Not sure they know about it.

Sorry again for your loss.

Peace,

Dan

Thanks for the kind words guys/gals.
Its one of those events that happens on TV to someone else. Sort of surrreal to be going through it, and I can't even begin to imagine how my brother feels.

Thanks Dan, her maiden name was Antrobus, and we all moved west from Cincinnati a few years ago, me to Cali, and Rich and Ness to Salt Lake.

Thanks again.
Ed
