Don't ever think that way! God has his reasons. Granted a child should not pass before a mother, but God has his intentions with it. Although there are many of us who will never understand God's grander plan, it is there and he has his reasons. It won't make you feel better and you won't ever stop hurting. I have seen that and lived it way too much in my life, but I do know that the pain won't ever go away. As much as you wish it would, it is not going to. My grandmother lost my Aunt when she was 22 and my Grandma still cries to this day if you mention her name and she passed away in 1982. I just watched a mother lose her 20 year old son this year too. She still is not the same. It's normal to feel that way because we always want to take away our child's pain, but this is one that is beyond our will. I pray for you and your family. I know this is something that is so near to impossible to deal with.

My prayers are with you all!

Just wanted to let everyone know that we are in the process of doing a fundraiser in memory of Brent. Hopefully we can all help raise some money for the family to help out with all of the expenses. Don't forget about signing up for the pool tournament Shawn is putting together also. This fundraiser involves candles and there are many options of normal candles to buy but there is an option for a memorial candle also. All of the money from these candles will be given to the family and 20% of the money from the other candles that are sold will be too. This is held just like normal fundraisers like schools do. I have fundraiser sheets made up and if you would like one or several let me know. I am also going to try to get some into Lesky Computer's so that people can stop and pick them up. All orders will need to be collected by Dec 8th so that we can insure delivery by Dec. 15th, just in time for Christmas.

Here is a pic of the memory candle

God may have taken you from us early, but we know that you are in Heaven watching over us.


I would also like to say Happy Birthday to Brent today and to let all of his family know that they are in my prayers.

I think that you should practice what you preach. And who is bringing this up on a message board? Or should I ask; "who has brought this up lately?"...Rip me to shreds with your bare hands?...Your being to funny, stop it.

I certainly do understand how she feels, a child/adult child non of the less, is the hardest thing to lose I never said anything about that other than I was sorry for their loss. Re read back post's!

Um, pretty sure this was what Micky was referring to, not your past posts in this thread.

That is about a joke in it's self! Donate to supply them with more drugs and alcohol? I know them people and you would think a lesson well learned but NOT! They still do it.

"Happy Holiday's!"


I also don't blame Mrs. Walls for saying what she did to you. As for "the pot calling the kettle black" on the revealing real names, she never said anything about revealing real names. I said it so who the hell is the pot calling the kettle black? Also, she should be suspended for it? Well, then Cindy why don't you suspend Shawn because he was the first and only one, at that point, to say my real name? Yeah, I am miss high and mighty though. Why don't you step back and look what you read. You suggest someone, that barely ever posts here to be suspended because she said my real name AFTER Shawn did?

You post something and if people don't respond in a certain amount of time you get all pissy about it like you think everyone should be sitting here waiting to post back to you. You posted about the $50.00 gift card and when you didn't get enough, or the right, responses you said "oh well, I guess I should just keep my 50 bucks since no one cares". Seriously? It's not all about you!!! Never was and never will be. FYI, if you wanna do something generous and actually try to be the "good" person you try to portray yourself as then you shouldn't condemn people for not posting immediately to you.

Mrs. Walls, I am sorry that all of this has come to you at such a hard time in your life, but I am not a liar nor do I hide things that I think people should know. I debated about ever posting that pm because I knew it would hurt you more than you are already hurting and I didn't want to do that, but I also can't stand people talking about others behind their backs. I am very sorry if it caused you any more hurt.

Hmm, isn't that a "threat?" I'm not worried ladybug, ppl talk like they know. And I thought we were not allowed to be mentioning ppl's names on here??????? I have to wonder if she will be suspended? Talk about calling the kettle black!??

This is Brents sister. I just was reading through some of the posts to get a better understanding of all the B.S. going on and I think it is quite comical actually that someone could get so defensive over something that never mentioned THEIR name personally. Obviously there is a guilty feeling somewhere along the line...isnt that right? Death... no matter how it may come along is not a good, happy, or joking matter. So If anyone has any decency here (such as ones like the couple who want to run down people who are no longer able to stand up for themselves) they should just drop it. (I know you wouldnt do it if "they" were in front of you now) and I have personally had far too many days of having the littlest things set me off and upset me for long periods at a time....not very often does something make you feel so good as to see a loved ones friends step up (as is being shown with Shawn AND Carrie) Also, I nor my family or anyone elses need anymore stress or nonsense comments about these situations. You need to grow up and get over yourself or SELVES from what I read. Obviously certain others here dont appreciate their "past" being brought up especially the part where someone is no longer here....am I CORRECT?? So therefore...I think that little comment as quoted above about the kettle being black is backfiring and it looks like you dont like the heat....so, in plain english for you illiterate folks....DONT RUN YOUR MOUTH IF YOU DONT WANT OTHERS TO DO IT TO YOU. We are all adults (or most I would think atleast) this is not how you deal with death or hard feelings. If you have a problem take it up with that person....such as instead of saying anything to the people trying to help these families, if you have something to say about the family then it must be important enough to say TO THAT family....and I for one am very ready and willing to take any heat or comments you have to say about my brother or my family. If you'd like to get ahold of me "PM" me and I can give you my number, I'd rather hear things in person. OR just GET OVER IT ....PLEASE...and....THANKS! P.S. As for Shawn, you seem to be a great guy and a wonderful friend. Brent and anyone for that matter would and should be proud to be able to call you their friend! As for Carrie, Those fundraisers are the most thoughtful thing along with the pool tournaments and other money raising events. Money cannot fix what has happened in any of these situations, but I speak for my family when I say it helps tremendously by easing some of the pressure of the unexpected financial burden these situations bring on. And I think you two are 2 very kind loving people that deserve way more respect than you have been given thoughout this whole ordeal.....SO THANK YOU BOTH more than words could say. Dont let these petty nobodies ruin your friendship too. That just keeps them going.....thanks again guys! And everyone who has helped us get through this so far.

Oh one more thing, PA GIRL...could you please PM me and explain yourself in a little more detail as to how a fundraiser for a loved one would support their drug or alcahol problems?? I got kind of confused and need your help straightening this one out...take your foot out of your mouth for a minute and help me....please.

Oh boy, better watch mentioning my real name, even though Shawn did, cause Cindy is on a vendetta on that subject!!

My foot is not in my mouth, a fundraiser CAN NOT support a deceased person's drug nor alcohol problem in any way shape or form. Further more I did not even know about a fundraiser taken place, I knew of the pool tournament. So you put 2 & 2 together, I hope that helped ya out? I don't need to put this in a P.M to you, I want all to see so nothing can be twisted around again! I am truly sorry for your loss, to all of you as I have stated several times in the past!

As much as I would like to do that, Carrie, mistakenly or otherwise, removed my ability to do so. The thread that was in question that prompted her to suspend Cindy until December 1st was deleted by her. Regrettably, that ties my hands in numerous ways if I'm to handle this fairly.

That's fine (referencing the presumed accidental deletion). I installed a trash system on the boards so any deleted materials goes into a hidden forum only admins can see. I never granted anybody the ability to delete from that forum, although it was impossible to disallow the power from one administrator to the next. Carrie says they were deleted from there by accident and I have no cause to disbelieve her. But speculate as you may, they were, in fact, deleted a second time from the trash system/hidden forum. Again, I still take her word for it that this was accidental, but hopefully you can see why I'm not able to cast more light or offer up better resolutions.

In the same respect I gave her, however, I have no reason to disbelieve the claims of others about what was said about varying parties.

My problem is this: since these posts were permanently deleted, if someone wants me to judge and "back up" one user vs. the next, I simply can't without saying so without elevating one member over another. And we're not just talking about Cindy here. She's one of a few that have disputed what was said in that post. I can't blindly pick and choose whose word I'm going to believe. It would not be right.

Given Carrie volunteered to help keep the message boards clean. I see no reason that she's done a bad job. I even turned a blind eye to her temporary suspension of another member based on her good track record. I still trust her judgment. That doesn't mean I think she's right in every instance. Nobody is. I'm not. We're all fallible.

I thank her for the job she's done for as long as she has helping moderate and end bickering and in-fighting. I regret she no longer wants the burden and I don't blame her as I know all too well the difficulty in keeping everyone happy. We'll undoubtedly miss her services. Hopefully we don't lose her valuable opinions as well, but that's not my decision in the end. I'll twist nobody's arm, simply state that we value everyone around here and wish all to stay and partake in great conversation, debates, politicking, complaining, blogging, etc.
