<p>This afternoon was the funeral of one of the 5 killed in the Minneapolis sign company shooting of a few days ago. The deceased was the spouse of a relative. A wonderful person who leaves behind a devastated family.</p>
<p>Hug your family and rememeber how precious life is.</p>
<p>I’m sorry for your loss.</p>
<p>I’m so, so sorry, jym. My hugs to you and their family.</p>
<p>jym-condolences to your extended family.</p>
<p>jym - I am really sorry.</p>
<p>May their memory be for a blessing.</p>
<p>How very sad. What an terrible thing to do to a family.</p>
<p>Awful, terrible, sad. I’m so sorry. : (</p>
<p>Thanks. We forget that with all the hustle bustle in our lives, that life is precious.</p>
<p>jym, my very deepest sympathies. I don’t even know what else to say when a loving family loses a family member in such a way. I’m so sorry.</p>
<p>Jym: sympathies to you and your family; I have read the wonderful things that he accomplished and did, and how well respected he was in the community…what a legacy he leaves…very sad…</p>
<p>So sorry, jym. It’s easy to forget to express our appreciation for one another in the midst of day to day living…</p>
<p>…must try harder…</p>
<p>my condolences jym626</p>
<p>I believe 2 of the funerals were today, Hayden. They are having to work the shivahs around sukkot. This is supposed to be a happy time. It is so sad.</p>
<p>Thanks for the kind words everyone. But truly- go hug your family. Life is precious.</p>
<p>jym- I’m so sorry. My sympathies to you and your family.</p>
<p>Ironically, just a week or so ago my SIL decided it was way past time to get everyone’s contact info/emails/addresses updated for that side of the family’s address list. So there had jsut been a few emails that went out to everyone to check on current email addresses. Sad that the email distribution ws needed again so soon…</p>
<p>Apologies for my confusing post, Hayden. There were 2 funerals today for victims of the shooting. One was the spouse of my DH’s relative.</p>
<p>Sorry to hear this, jym.</p>
<p>oops- I meant to respond to rodney-- that two of the funerals were today. As you can tell, it has me a little rattled.</p>
<p>I hugged my DH when I read your post. He didn’t understand the intensity, but that’s okay…He did hug me back, though rather distractedly. :)</p>
<p>So sorry.</p>
