| A friend and co-worker of mine was killed last nite on his motorcycle. He is on my FB page, Darren Martin. H just got his bike back and was looking forward to taking itout with somefriends Friday night. I talked to him about anhour before quitting time yesterdayand he said he was getting quite the collection of bikes and would take me for ride this summer if wanted. He always wore a helmet. I was trying to teach him how to send drinks on FB, LOL, but he had dial-up so it wasn't working too good for him. He was a good guy, always on the ball at work. never a bad thing to say, enjoyed his job. He was there to help plant the tree at work. Geez, can't believe he's gone...just like that your life can be over...thats what sucks about it...I'm really going to miss him  | |

| Yep, life is odd like that. Sometimes when I think about what my life is worth, I try envision what's like going without. Sometimes it sucks both ways....but so far life has won out. | |

| Couple of weeks ago a coworker of ours got killed in an auto accident after work - few miles from the division. He was just 28 years old. I knew him but would not consider us friends. Alot of others were really shook up - he had many friends at work. Mgmt went to his funeral. Day after his funeral, all workers went outside and had a moment of silence - any that wanted to say some words did so. | |

| I talked to a guy in management yesterday, told him maybe it would be nice to dedicate the tree to him and put a plaque there with his name on it...he likes the idea! Tomorrow is going to be hard... | |

| yeah, Monday morning was tough, we had a 'get together' with the whole company, it was very sad. lots of tears were shed, he was well liked and will be missed. they had a memorial service for him at his church, lots and lots of people, he had many friends. today will be one week, I remember his last words to me were he couldn't wait to take his bike out that nite... he was doing what he loved. | |
