Just a word of Thanks to all of my forum family for your support, prayers, well wishes and encouragement.

A special Thanks to a special friend... "LT" (and his lovely wife) who took the time to come and see me during visitation yesterday. LT also altered his own schedule today to make a second trip....in order to help provide perimeter security...so that the rest of us could go about our affairs.

Thanks to all, it meant a lot to me.

That's beautiful!

Chas.

Thank you for sharing. It's beyond beautiful, it's heavenly.

Yes...it is, and the bagpipes especially appeal to my Celtic heritage.

Thank you all... for your prayers and condolences.

Please make certain that all of your loved ones....are equipped and prepared to defend themselves to the best of their ability. This is a "real world" example...of how quickly a deadly threat circumstance can be played out.

Please impress upon all those whom you love (and who will listen), that they may only have seconds to react. LEO were there in minutes (a good response time), but "minutes" more often than not, is what gets you killed.

PLEASE folks, prepare yourselves.

I may not be back on line for a day or so....I have a funeral to plan.

Not much information yet. I’ve been up all night but will report back when more details are available. The article in today’s paper states there were 3 shootings last night, two of them at the apt. complex my nephews lived at (very odd).

The accounting toward the last of this article sounds like the incident involving Charlie.

Thank you all for your prayers and concerns.

Last night, March 11, 2009…..my nephew (wife’s side) was killed when 2-3 armed men forced their way into his apartment. Charlie and his younger brother share an apartment… and both were home at the time. Charlie was shot 3 times and did not survive his wounds, his brother was unharmed.

I do not have details yet, but I expect to know more in the coming days.

Folks, do not be fooled….bad things happen in small towns too.

Your prayers for strength and comfort would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Flint.
