DC excellent post bro, and as i keep reading this thread it is amazing to me how many people were positively affected by this one man. Among most of the members here, and the fact i have not been posting for more than a few months due to personal obligations to my dad whom is recovering from Cancer, i would say i am THE LEAST to comment on this thread. But as i read on, i love to see messages of support and condolance to especially Mrs. Q, and Q's personal friends on this forum. I lost a 17 year old brother in a tragic car accident some years ago, he was a passenger.....the driver lived. I can say from at least personal experience that the hardest time for the family of a loved one whom passed into the next life, is when friends and family stop calling or coming by, or not as much. The sympathy letters stop coming, not to diminish their importance, or undermine the gesture, but then the mind steers from thoughts and messages of support, people coming by to visit.....to the shock of the loss itself.
Like i said, my contact with Queefer was minimal, yet very positive. He most certainly stood out amongst us. I urge friends of Q's and Mrs. Q, please dont stop calling her, visiting his family if possible, remind them they are in your prayers, send them books(based on faith and dealing with the passing of a loved one, if that similar faith is shared).....and lastly, DC made an excellent point, out of, how many thousand members here, we each cant send AT LEAST a lousy five dollars to the family to help them out? They will surely need it. Can we all (whether you knew Q or not) send a lousy $5/month? $10 every month? Will that make or break anyone here? Unless you are homeless, yet have internet access to post, this is totally doable. Can we give up ONE Starbucks coffee a month, buy 1 less ribeye steak, a less expensive protein that month? I personally am in a tight financial situation due to personal legal reasons, and lawyers are not cheap....but i most certainly will give the maximum i can, yes even if its a lousy $20, X 15,000 members? Dont do it because someone is pushing you, do it from the heart, and it will come back to you fivefold one day. Just my humble OPINION
