My toughts and Prayers go out to the families for their loss.

But then I got to see just how cold this state Govt can be with Gov Paterson reminding people in Clarence that taxes were due but he was extending the deadline for them 1 week due to what happened

In response to those laughing Clarence kids... well, that hits too close to home for me.
My 21 yr old son died in a home in Clarence, NY and the kids that came to the funeral where disrespectful, laughing etc
I was so traumatized by my sons death I could not respond.
But yea, everything is a joke to them.
Rich and into drugs they have become hardened to the pain of others
That is incredibly sad to hear! I am sorry for your loss, no matter how long ago it might have been. I don't want to rekindle your bad memories of this, but I did want to express my sympathies (even if it was a year, five years or ten years ago). I am twenty years old myself and could not imagine how my mother would react to such news. And for those kids that were being outrageously disrespectful... karma is all I can think of. I wouldn't wish disrespect on anyone's funeral, but I hope those kids learn a very valuable and hard lesson at some point in their lives. On the other hand, even though I was not there, it helps to sometimes give people the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps some of their laughs were remembering humorous moments they might have shared with your son. Perhaps it was their on unique way of grieving, but also celebrating your son's life. Regardless of the the true intent, I hope that life after the period of mourning has afforded you smiles, laughter and happiness at other things. Here's to wishing you a long life filled with better days and a consolation in knowing that your son is in a better place now and his love for you transcends even the boundaries of life itself.

This is perhaps one of the best posts I've had the pleasure of coming across on this thing in a long time. Kudos and reps to you!

Thank you for your condolences. I know that I have my "forever angel bodyguard" and that he is by far in a place of great beauty and surrounded by love.
Thank you for reminding me that there are good people in the world who truly care.
You are I am sure a great asset to your Mother.
For so young, yet to have such wisdom and insight is a gift.
Thank you.

Today I thought what if?! My husband travels on a weekly basis. Sometimes flies. I pray for his safety and of those with him. Even when he travels by car. What if? We could not imagine the loss these families are feeling. I heard of the the wife who lost her husband on September 11th. She was going to celebrate his birthday. She was on that plane. She is now celebrating with him.
God was with the two people that survived. Though they are without their husband/father too.

Today sure puts things if perspective. On whats important. And what is not.

This is what I find repulsive about human beings in govt. People are having to process this tragic loss and all the govt care about is money. Ugh, those ppl in govt should have been in that plane.....

I was listening to this news on CNN radio most of this morning and my prayers and thoughts go to all the families for this tragic loss. I can't imagine the emotion the waiting people at the airport is going through. We can't fear living life because of this though, because when our time comes, it will come whether we see it or not.

Unfortunately planes are most vulnerable when flying in possible ice conditions, and they really should restrict flying in such inclement weather. And from what was reported the plane wasn't even a year old yet.

I had the pleasure of meeting this good woman last year. Such a terrible loss. CT is mourning with you folks up in Buffalo, for Fairfield County has lost one of its most inspirational residents. We are discussing her many accomplishments over on the CT board.

Prayers for you all.
