<p>If anybody’s on facebook, search for CL’s husband’s name and there’s a group that one of the family friends started. They’re talking about starting a foundation. I’ll keep an ear to the ground about it and let you all know when something more concrete develops.</p>
<p>May the Lord be with you and your daughters. My prayers are with you.</p>
<p>What a heartbreak for her, the children and their extended family. Thoughts and prayers with them all.</p>
<p>Crabbylady, </p>
<p>Oh my. I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. It is clear from the article that your husband touched many lives. What a wonderful, giving man he was. I’m so sorry this happened.</p>
<p>I am so very sorry, Crabbylady. Your husband sounds like an amazing man who left the world far too soon. Your family will be in my thoughts.</p>
<p>I am so terribly sad for you and your girls. I have no doubt that the community that received your husband’s generosity will collectively come together to support you at this terribly difficult time.</p>
<p>What a legacy he will leave…what a wonderful guy. Please take care of yourself. Your girls will need you.</p>
<p>For those who have not read the other thread on CC…it should be noted that “alchohol was a factor” with the driver of the snowmobile…not Crabbylady’s H or the other person on the dogsled.</p>
<p>The article from St. Louis paper should have had some better editing.</p>
<p>Thanks, Alibarr, for letting us know about the foundation when it’s posted on facebook.</p>
<p>May his memory be for a blessing. So sorry to hear of your family’s truly tragic loss.</p>
<p>Crabbylady, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Your husband sounds like a terrific human being and I hope that the memories are of some comfort.</p>
<p>One of the articles mentioned that they asked if one of the snowmobilers would stay with them and help with the tourniquet, but they both refused and left. I hope they “pay” for this crime.</p>
<p>I am deeply sorry for your loss. Words are inadequate. I hope your IRL community is providing you with the support you need; your CC community is (of course) available to listen.</p>
<p>May his memory be for a blessing.</p>
<p>Peace to you and your family during this unsettled time.</p>
<p>My heart goes out to you and your daughters. As a fellow Alaskan, thank you for your husband’s selfless service. I’m so, so sorry for your loss.</p>
<p>My deepest sympathies to you and your daughters. This is such a tragedy.</p>
<p>John Donne’s poems have been sounding in my head since I read the story. I do feel that this unnecessary death has dimished the world. Toll the bells slowly.</p>
<p>For Whom the Bell Tolls</p>
<p>No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manner of thine own
Or of thine friend’s were.
Each man’s death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.</p>
<p>Sympathy to you and your daughters. Your husband sounds like he was a wonderful man.</p>
<p>What a horror for you, your family and the others your husband obviously touched greatly. In simple words - it sucks.</p>
<p>In the blink of an eye - it looks like your terrible news stopped all the CCers in their tracks, myself included. I hope that CC and your other communities can help you and your family cope - it looks as though you have places to turn to that will offer different routes to comfort.</p>
<p>My condolences along with the rest of your CC community’s.</p>
<p>I am so sorry. My deepest sympathy to you and your daughters.</p>
<p>I am sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathy to you and your daughters. I hope you get all the support you need for this tragedy.</p>
<p>I am so sorry. You, your daughers and the community that your husband served so well are in my thoughts.</p>
