freethefly 6 #1 April 25, 2008 So sad this week has been, but, in a strange way, I am happy for them, but sad for us. The preacher at their services talked about them and it is clear that they were ready for what came, however so quick. I can never get use to the death of others as I am so prepared for my own, after living so long with the probability. It baffles me how someone so young and prepared to live so fully can leave so early. It is a fathomable depth unimaginable. It really is, with truth, that I cannot grasp. I am not religous, nor do i believe that there is a heaven or hell. I do, however, believe that we do carry on after we leave this realm and it is our quest for life that encourage those after us to go to the next level. My very good friends, Paul Burke and Kevin Brennan as well as Big Dave Paternastor, Bob Walsh, Scott Cowan and all jumpers who have gone in the direction that their lives has taken them, thank you for what you have given to the condition we connect to. For the newest to go, thank you for presenting yourselves to the world and living on your own terms. My hope for all, Mark S.
