Fireplug - I cant even begin to imagine what you must have gone through. How very sad. having something happen to one of my kids would just about do me in.
One of the most difficult duties I had to perform was saying a few words as President on behalf of our hockey association. One of our players died in a car accident on the way to a game. He was 13 years old and my kids played with him outside of hockey. I guess calling it a duty isnt appropriate. As Reggie said, it was an honour to speak at the service but damn it, if I didnt just about lose it 3/4 of the way through. Definately one of the hardest things I ever had to do. But again, it was an honour to do so.
