                          tragedy

                          Lee,

                          My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of grief and loss. Even I cannot make sense of this tragedy, and I'm sure you're struggling with this as well. I lost a sister many years ago, and I still can't comprehend it. As was said upthread, hopefully you can take comfort in the time you had with him.

                          Hill? What hill? I didn't see any hill! Why wasn't there a sign? And where are my keys?

                                  It's a terrible thing to have to suffer such a loss. Only time will dull the pain. My heart goes out to you.

                                      My deepest sympathies, Lee. I know how tough it's been on me to lose friends. I can't imagine losing a brother. No words of wisdom to give, just saying I am sorry for your loss, which seems like such a paltry thing.
                                      Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.

                                      You can live to be 100, as long as you give up everything that would make you want to live to be 100!
