On June 29th, I lost my sister and requested that anyone who cared to do so played 'Long Road' just to give one last tribute to someone who really made a difference in a lot of peoples lives.

Well this past Wednesday I also lost my cousin, she was 28, a pharmaceutical technician and was planning to return to school to study nursing. It was a complete shocker to hear of her passing as it was completey unexpected. Alone in her apartment, she suffered a seizure while having a cigarette on her back deck which immobilized her body long enough to suffer hypothermia.

This is truly a tragedy, and family and friends are still in awe at the loss.

I'd appreciate it if anyone would drop the track 'Long Road' with me to honor my cousin.

    Hi...

    ..I'm very, very sorry for you.

    I'm going to make up a thread for a friend who passed away on December 21, 2007 (he suffered from stomach cancer) when I supposed him to be still alive, although I knew that he was getting worse (I live in Germany, he lived in Tennessee, USA). I sent out some of my PJ-covers I recorded to special friends in the forum(s) and elsewhere and just dropped a line in the info-file that it's dedicated to him - "This session is dedicated to Michael Edge" -, because I felt so helpless - I didn't know that he had passed away just a few hours before... I got to know this when I finally had the courage to call his mom in the first week of January. Mike was 26 years old, like me.

    So this is "Long Road" for Mike and for you and your lost loved-ones:

    wow, i'm sorry for your loss as well. death is never easy and there really is no way you can fully prepare yourself for it. in the past 7 years i have had 4 immediate family members pass, so it's been real rough. I really do feel for anyone who loses someone they love because it's something thats very hard to deal with.

    thanks to everyone who responded, i appreciate your compassion.
