So, I get home this evening just in time to answer a call from my mother-in-law. Apparently my wife's grandfather shot and killed his daughter-in-law and then himself this afternoon.

God damn, I need another drink.

Holy shit.
Any help you need, you know the Lounge
takes care of our own.
Just reach out.

LL,

Thanks for the support. Still don't know exactly what has happened, but I will keep in touch.

We line up for our own-

That's hard core, my lounge friend. Keep the
peace with you and those close.

I think you might be needed elsewhere Nepenthes, why are you still here?

HOLY HELL!

Sorry to hear about that man! You are in my (our) thoughts!

Nola

No kidding ... go take care of the family. Lounge will be here for you. now during and after.

DG

Damn. I'm truly sorry to hear that Nepenthes.

Please accept my deepest condolences and pass my regards on to the family.

And prayers from those of us who do that sort of thing.

All our thoughts are with you.
Me and LoucheLooker,

I do, and will add you to the list.

DG

Very sorry to hear of your loss and in such tragic way.
I hope you & your family are keeping well under the circumstances.

It really is amazing the support you get, from people who don't really know you.

I can't imagine that. Good luck for the future, and the survivors in the family.

Wow, Thanks for all of the good thoughts. My wife and I really appreciate it. Even though I don't post much, I always feel at home at the Lounge. You guys are the best.

We still don't know what's going on. The only update is that there was a note, but the police aren't letting the family see it yet.

Well, thanks again for the positive thoughts.

Sending positive thoughts your way.

Hang in there!

holy shit!

hang in there, man.

My thoughts are with you today, Nepenthes. May things get better for you from now on.

Be well my friend, be well. If there is anything I can do to help, just ask.

I'm sorry, Nepenthes. What a terrible tragedy. I hope that you and your wife are holding up and taking care of one another as best as you can.

I'm so very sorry.
If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask.

I am sorry M. I Hope that you and your family are doing alright.

Really sorry to hear about that M. Hope everybody is holding up alright.

Sounds really horrible. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Just in case anyone wants the details, here is the story from the Brainerd paper.

Thanks once again for all of the prayers and good thoughts. We can all use them.

Holy shit! I'm sorry to hear of this, Nepenthes. My condolences to you and yours.

Good lord, how did I miss this thread?
What a horrible tragedy to have happen so close to home.
I believe that everyone does have the fundamental right to take their own life, but taking others with you is decidedly not right.
I hope that you and your family are able to deal with this with grace and bravery.
My thoughts are with you too.

That is really terrible. My condolences to you and your family.

We just arrived back home after the two funerals. Both were very nice with much understanding between all of the survivors. Hopefully everyone will successfully pull their lives back together.

Take your time with the whole mourning thing. And don't let anyone tell how long you're supposed to mourn, either. When you're done, you're done. And you'll know it.

We're right here for you, pal.

DG

Yes we are.
