Loss of a dear friend
Guys,
I know this is not directly related to this forum but I would still like to share this with you. Yesterday I have learned of the untimeous death of one of my greatest friends and flying buddies, namely Jacques van der Merwe. We have shared the lots of great things together and I have had the opportunity of having to know one of the kindest people on earth. Unfortunately his death was family related (suicied) and I wish things could have been different. Jacques, I will miss you dearly my friend for everything that you have done and meant to me.  God Bless, Your friend and flying buddy, Willie

Re: Loss of a dear friend
Sorry to hear about that Willie. I lost a brother and my father to the same thing back in 88 and 92. Not exactly sure why and never will totally understand but, time will make things easier to deal with.

Re: Loss of a dear friend
I lost a good friend the same way about 20 years ago. Some days I still get mad as hell at him over it, but most days I just miss my good friend.
Never underestimate depression. It can be one nasty SOB. Mike Last edited by whirlyspud; 07-05-2007 at 12:20 PM. |

Re: Loss of a dear friend
Willie,
I lost my best friend in High School the same way. I still don't, and guess I never will know why he did it. I still have the same feelings as Whirlyspud. My condolences and God Bless, James |

Sorry to hear this. I lost an uncle last year to the same thing, just doesn't make sense.

Re: Loss of a dear friend
I am sorry to hear about your friend. I also had two friends (husband and wife) pass away by murder suicide. Still to this day I wonder why and still to this day I think about them. The scarry thing is that my wife was there when it happened and witnessed the whole thing she said god spared her life that day.
God Bless you and your friend Mike
