You never know when something might happen.

We lost a great friend and gamer locally. It's really important to tell these gaming buddies of ours how much they mean in our lives. I feel like I failed to do so in this instance as do many of my friends locally. Jason was one of the most personable people I've ever met in my life, and a great friend that was made through this hobby of ours. Somtimes we forget to tell our friends that we bond with how much they impact our lives. Thats sissy stuff that men dont do.

Godspeed Jason, you'll be missed.

(the news report with mpeg window included, Jason is the guy that managed our store and gamed with us)

(his brother is the one in this commercial for our game store that can act...he apparently died trying to save his brother)

...as a side note, some friends and I figure that Jason lost his Undead army in the fire, we're going to all build a sort of memorial for him for our stores figure case in the form of a brand new undead army.

That's a really sad story. I'm sorry you lost a friend. I think the undead army is a fitting tribute.

Sorry for your loss.

You have my condolances.

Horrible for anyone, but such a young group of people is worse. Sorry

My condolences as well. That really, really sucks.

Condolences to all friends, family and loved ones.

A tradgedy.

condolances.

that really sucks

Go with God

An Irish Funeral Prayer

Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Everything remains as it was.
The old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no sorrow in your tone.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting, when we meet again.

Although not originally derived from Irish writings, versions of this sermon have been used at many Irish and Catholic funerals over the years.

A tragedy. I hate to hear of stuff like this. You have my condolences, as well.

But that prayer, Mannahnin...I have to say, it's good.

That commercial is good too. It's nice to have stuff like that, an example of how a person touched the world.

Did you build the undead army? Sounds like a nice idea, to me.
