My deepest sympathies and condolences.
Though it may sound odd, thank you for considering this community when you decided to share this tragic news. (Fizzban, this goes for you too.) I hope our thoughts and prayers help you in some small way through this very dark time.
I am sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family in this darkest hour.

Losing my father 10 years ago was the hardest thing I've gone through, and now with children of my own, I couldn't imagine what it'd be like for my family.
My heart goes with you.
~sad sigh~ I am so sorry about your loss, Jonathan. I wish there was something I could say or do to make this better, but there isn't. If you ever need to talk, you can e-mail me at...

We were at the Mortuary all day today. Matthew still isn't on his way home yet, I have the US Embassy involved. Late today, I got a progress report. We are now looking at Monday before he can start the journey back here to Las Vegas. But there is a holdup at the Miami airport, as they are trying to find a flight from there to Las Vegas.
I am so sorry. You have my deepest sympathies and condolences.
My deepest sympathies.
My sincere condolences. I know this won't change anything, but I am truly sorry for your loss. I nearly got killed last summer in an accident. This brings back memories. I am so sorry.
*bows head in moment of silence*
*Gives Jon a big hug* Never forget the good times, and know you'll always have shoulders to lean on here and with your family. May you and all those who knew and loved your son find the strength to stand tall and be proud of all that he stood for.
My thoughts and prayers as well. God bless.

For Matthew:
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
For Jonathan_Shade and Family
This is an Irish Funeral Prayer. I hope it brings you and yours the same comfort it brings me.
Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Everything remains as it was.
The old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no sorrow in your tone.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near,
just around the corner.
All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting, when we meet again..
