First, let me thank all of you for your kind words during this ordeal. You all helped me through an extremely rough patch. And second, my wife Bonnie passed away at 4:50am on Monday the 20th. It has taken me this long to get beyond the heartbreak and, of course, my first notification is on this site. That says a lot about the quality of people here. Her funeral is tomorrow, I would imagine that will be the roughest, although watching her dying while in terrible pain for the final 8 hours was pretty rough. Once that final step is accomplished, I will return here as an active trader and try to go on with my life without her at my side. If you have any trades in mind, please send them my way...I will need the distraction. Thank you all for your help and friendship.

Mike, I am sorry for your loss. Praying that you will find comfort in this difficult time
-------------------------------
I'll never quit collecting entirely, but I am downsizing. Check out my COMC store and help me thin out what I don't want so I can buy cards that I do want. See something you like? Send me a message on here, and we can knock the price down quite a bit. I'll even take a bit of a loss if it means getting you a card you really want. |

Our sincere condolences. You and I already did a rather large trade a little while back, not sure if I have anything left for you, but I'll see what I can do in that corner of the universe to help you. All the best for tomorrow. I simply can't imagine. Glad you felt the love come through from the members on this site. Please continue to feel that.

Sorry, Mike. If being around here trading helps distract you for a bit I'll be glad to try to make a trade with you when you're ready, but I hope you take all the time you need. My condolences to you and your family.

I am truly sorry to hear about her passing. Thank you for letting us all know. We will be praying for you and your family during this time. If trading can give you some comfort during this time, I will see what I have that you need. Take your time as I am sure all will understand. Hoping it gets a little easier for you as time passes.
