The 15 year old son of the comprtoller of my company and a 25 year friend of the family lost her 15 year old son last night in a fall. He and his buddies were screwing around on the roof of a school building last night and slipped and plunged 5 floors down a chimney landing in the basement. He was killed instantly.
The mom , who is like a sister to me, my family and all at the office has been plauged with tradgedy in recent years, with many close family losses, her husband passed away two years ago and I am afraid this will put her over the edge. She has never recovered from her husband's loss.
I feel so incredibly sad and sickened by this I can hardly speak about it. I am getting ready to go see her and offer my condolences. My wife and daughter were at her home today and the mom is as described by my wife " beyond devestation", she is almost catatonic.
Thanks for listening.
