Oh Connie. I am so sorry.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Oh Connie. I don't know what to say. I am so, so sorry.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So much sympathy and care heading your way, Connie. You made him so very happy--hang on to that truth.

Oh, Tom. Thank you.
I had to make the call that the doctors said was inevitable. They were boosting his blood pressure with extraordinary amounts of drugs, and his liver and kidneys had already failed. I called several people, and I shouldn't have been surprised that they came. His daughter didn't believe me when I said it was bad, really bad. His sister called her a few hours later to tell her flatly that if she wanted to say good-bye to her father to get up there.
He'd stopped responding several hours previously. He wasn't even squeezing my hand any more. So I told them to let him go, made sure his Thor's hammer was in his hand, told him that he wasn't unarmed and to go with the Valkyries, and held his hand and told him I'd be all right.
He was supposed to come home. He was supposed to beat this. I kept waiting for him to wake up. My last conversation was over a bad cell phone connection. Our 30-year conversation is done. But I promised him I'd be all right and I'd take care of myself. This is going to be so very hard.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
My condolences, Connie.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Connie, I'm so damned sorry. You weren't supposed to know what it feels like. I'm crying because I know how brutal it is. I wish I could change this for you. My deepest condolences. Much love to you. Rely on the Buffistas, because we will be your strength when you don't think you have any.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
It's always sudden.

The status is NOT quo.
Connie, I am so sorry for your loss. There are no words; I can only offer my sincere sympathy. You are in my thoughts.
