Sorry for ur loss Rick and sorry for urs as well Paul hope they ended up in paradise

Very sorry for your loss Rick, and Paul as well. Thoughts and prayers go out from the DF community. God bless...

I'm so sorry, Paul & Rick. You are in my thoughts.

I wrote this in private but I feel I should post it here as well.

A sad day this is. This all saints day will stay in my mind for a long time if not the rest of my life. You have your Halloween but here we have all saints day today. A day to get together and remember friends and relatives that has passed away, to light candles on their graves, a day to cherish the memories of our loved ones.
Today I will send my thoughts to you Rick and your family, and to Paul.

I too will light a candle for them.

I'm so sorry guys, you will be in our prayers.

Rick and Paul, my deepest sympathy to you and yours during this difficult time. We will keep you all in our prayers.

Considering the news..Rick.Paul and Judy..Thought we could contemplate our greatest people passing take a moment to think of them all..Love to you...

For Rick and Paul ... thoughts are with you...

It is a sad day, my thoughts and prayers go out to both of you, and your families.

This is terrible news, Rick, Paul, perhaps you can find some measure and comfort in the fact that (from what little I know) your loved ones lived, what seem to be, amazing lives! With such rich, full lives they must have touched many people over the years, they will be sorely missed. I hope that when I meet my maker I can have half of what these two great people had out of life, rocks dad with his service to our country, and Judy with her service to all those around her.

It pains me to know that the world will no longer have these two people in it. Rick, Paul, I don't know either of you very well, but in Thad sad time I feel your loss, please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. You have my love and full support in addition to the entire DF nation in your time of mourning

My deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathies,

Brad

Rick and Paul if you have need of anything , remember you all have a family here that cares. Thoughts and prayers .

Truly saddened to hear of your loss Rick and Paul, thoughts are of you and you're families.

Truly a sad day, Rick and Paul my thoughts and prayers to you and your family's.

Rick and Paul.

I have no words that I can speak,
of sorrow that falls, like a fallen leaf.
But stay awhile dear friends.
and talk of memories to keep.

Oh boy......

What to say now?

I won't preach, or tell you you are in my prayers,......for I don't know if you'll feel better by doing so.

I once heard the Jews have a saying when they express their condolances: ' ....and now, may you have no more sorrow.'

But I'll tell you, if you want, I'll cry with you.

.

I hate hearing news like this. Rick, Paul, you are defenitaly in my thoughts.

Rick,

I can truly feel your heartache.
We both were blessed.
And blessed more with friends like we have here.
As your Father and my Love walk through the Golden Gates together we should only feel happiness that they were in our lives.

I hope your Dad liked to dance....she's a dancing fool.

Incense burning for you,

Paul

Rich, Paul, my condolences for the both of you. You both are in my thoughts and prayers. Truly a sad day for the MOM family.

My condolences to both of you. My thoughts and prayers will be with you forever. MOM and I will always have a place in our hearts for you and your loved ones.

I logged onto the forum today after a nine-hour work day. Work wasn't fun today. I just wanted a break.

I sat down, checked my pms. The usual. Then, I began perusing the threads.

The top one caught my eye. Judy Mantz: "BIRDBRAINBESE" has passed away. I left my condolences.

I change to the M.O.M thread, when I see that Rick's father has also passed away. He had told me in an email that his dad was on his deathbed, but the news was no less tragic for it. I've read a combined three pages of love, solemn joy, and friendship.

And instead of any sadness, I feel a sense of wonderment. A type of strange camaraderie. A community that has seemed to be unraveling at the seams, joined together in one moment of pure sympathy.

I see not just friends and companions, I see rivals and bittersweet foes giving condolences and thanks. It just seems to show that however petty and trivial this game and its matters may be, in the end, we can all come together, a kind of solemn unity induced by sympathy.

So thank you to all, and Rest In Peace Mr. Wiggins and BIRDBRAINBESE. Two individuals who lived long, fruitful lives, and were ready to depart. Thank you for your part in restoring my cynical faith.



Absolutely sincerely (however melodramatic it may seem)

She referred to you as "a lovable ass".

You are, and I thank you for being a friend.

Well, the Madridi.... Er, zuperman has returned, it seems, citing personal issues for his extended absence.

I'm not sure how commitments work in Spain, but if I'm gonna take a month and a half off of work, I at least send my boss a text. Just sayin'.

A lot of folks will be all forgiving, I suppose. I will too, as long as he doesn't go AWOL again. I would have ripped him a little harder on that thread, but there's a saying about "Biting the hand that feeds you." Although, doesn't that qualify for what he just did to us?

I love this game. I love this squad.

Paul and Rick, please accept my condolences.

This is effing unbelievable.. some stupid a$$ has stolen my winter wheels for our second car...
4 ugly old aluminum rims with tires they would throw after you, and they left the brand new 16" rims with Goodyear ultragrip ice...
It would have taken a few seconds of looking to find them but they were in plain sight.
The weels that was stolen is worth maybe $50 but it'll cost at least $200 to replace them.

For Paul:

ICE CREAM TIME

Thanks again Paul (and our special angel Judy) for the wonderful ice cream time, this is only the first visit, there will be several more due to your kindness!!







*My condolences go out to both Paul and Rick, words just dont seem to be enough in times like these.

Rick and Paul,

So sorry to hear the sad news this weekend.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.
