I wanted to take this time to acknowledge two of our greatest forum players (and absolutely incredible people) who suffered a tragedy yesterday morning when they unexpectedly lost their father.

If you feel moved to do so, please feel free to post your best wishes and/or prayers for the muns of Isabella Dawnshadow & Lady Belial (as well as for their family).......sometimes, when you are going through hell and back, it helps to know that you've got supportive friends remembering you in their thoughts & prayers and watching your back.

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble and saddness. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea. -Psalm 46:1-2

Gen and Lan....you are both in my thoughts and in my deepest prayers. I wish there was more that I could say or do to comfort and uplift you. Just know, that your dad is in peace. May God bless both of you and your family......

I'm always here if you need anything.

Love you both, ~G

This anonymously written poem was read at my grandmother's funeral. I hope you derive some peace from it. My deepest sympathies. -Carnal Mun

"They are not dead, Those who leave us this great heritage of remembering joy.

They still live in our hearts, In the happiness we knew, in the dreams we shared.

They still breathe, In the lingering fragrance, windblown, from their favorite flowers.

They still smile in the moonlight's silver, And laugh in the sunlight's sparking gold.

They still speak in the echoes of words we've heard them say again and again. They still move, In the rhythm of waving grasses, in the dance of the tossing branches.

They are not dead: Their memory is warm in our hearts, comfort in our sorrow.

They are not apart from us, but part of us.

For love is eternal, And those we love shall be with us throughout all eternity."

I am very sorry to hear about the loss you both have suffered. My thoughts are with you <3

Our condolences and thoughts are with you both during this difficult time.

Bri & Jen

I was shocked to hear the news, and I empathize with you both as far as my mind can fathom losing a father.

When the world seems to be turned upside down, we look to loved ones near and far, those dearest to our hearts, to lean against for support, to listen to our sorrows and to help us mourn our loss.

Our friends are extentions of parts of ourselves, they are "the family" that we ourselves chose. Those who remain true will always be there, in thought if not in word. As all things must come to an end, remember, for memories are our heart's most valued treasures. In recalling a memory, one can see the sun sparkling off those jewels through our veil of tears.

Take pride in those memories, and know that though you may have lost a loved one, you hang on to those beautiful moments foremost in your mind, and the time you shared with them in happyness. Cherish those memories, and your loved ones shall never be lost to you. Forget not what you still have in desiring what you have lost. My condolences for your loss, Lan, Gen, but never for get, he is and will always be a part of you, and he shall be with you always. Well wishes, peace, and many blessings to you both.

I'm so sorry about your father's passing. Both of you try to hang in there and rejoice in his wonderful memory. We miss you!

Such a loss is never easy to face, but you have each other to rely on, and to remind the other of the joy you shared with him.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am not good at this type of thing, so I will just say it. I am sorry this had to occur. Keep the memories with you, and remember when things get too hard, and somedays they will. Just breathe.

My thoughts are with you as well. Again. I am sorry.



Jesse.

Thoughts and prayers to both of you and to your family.
