Prayers needed please.

**deejay100six** · 05-13-2008, 09:12 AM

After being offline for a couple of months i noticed on my return that a couple of people i had come to regard as friends had suddenly dissappeared from these forums. One of these was Mike2020learnin and after sending an email it seems that he has lost his eldest son in an accident.

I am not a religious person myself and don't know if he is but i know how faith can be a source of great strength to many and maybe Mike and his family would find a little comfort in knowing that he has support from TSF where i know he has helped me and a great many other people.

Please remember him in your prayers.

Thanks.

That's very sad. It doesn't seem so long ago that he was off for the birth of his latest.

At times like these, there are no words that can console .. only memories can bring joy, just like only time can eventually heal ..

as we get older we go through these occasions more and more frequently. The loss though, in each case, is always individual and just as painful as the previous ..

My heartfelt condolences and wishes for strength in seeing things through what will no doubt be a very difficult time.

I cannot even fathom what it is like to loose a child, I would just fall apart probably.
My sincerest condolences and I wish him strength in this dark hour.

All I wanted to say has already been said. Condolences and sympathy to Mike2020learnin and family in this difficult time.

Want to add my most sincere condolences to Mike and his family. Even though i'm a parent of two kids myself, I can not even start to understand what they're going through but as a 'family/community', I think TSF is duty bound to help in any possible if required.

My heartfelt condolences to Mike2020learnin and his family . I hope they will find the strength within themselves to endure this terrible period in their lives.

A man should never have to bury his child... This is a sad tragedy
