Breeder, My god i don't even know what to say here. It isn't hard from the pictures to tell what good friends you were. The both of them passing away so close together is very shocking to say the least. My god bless you, his friends and family. Gasser Girl
Hey I knew those folks. Wish you hadn't posted pics I am crap with names buddy. Bad news for sure I'll keep you in my thoughts.
Sad news, I remember meeting Charlie at the 09 HAMB Drags and having a pretty cool conversation with him. His friends and family will be in my thoughts.
Wow...... so sorry to hear this. Condolences to all the family and friends...... Life is uncertain, make the most of every minute.
Sorry to hear about your friends, man it brought tears to my eyes. I wake up each morning and say Thank You Lord for another day because I have lost friends that were in good health and then the next thing you know they are gone. that's why I say never say something you wish you didn't say because you may never see them again and you wish things were not said. My prayers are with you and there family
Man ,I know it's been a rough year for you and your family but,this is relly hard to take,,,,you guys are in my prayers again! HRP
Be brave my friend, They would want you to carry on your misson in Wayland and draw strength from your kropduster brothers and sisters. May Charlie and Nancy rest in peace. Another of lifes test to move forward in the face of diversity, your Omaha friends are all thinking healing thoughts for everyone involved. ~sololobo~
Sorry for the loss Todd. At least they are together again. 42 is soo young, makes me want to take better care of myself( bad hearts run in the family)
Sorry to hear more bad news but Great tribute to them and their together and smiling down on you Todd.... Keep your head up.....
Sorry to hear you lost a friend. Maybe I'm wrong to ask this but how did you not know your good mate's wife died a month ago? Something not quite right here.
3 weeks ago, and he didn't tell anyone! All the pics of me and Charlie and Nancy are fake. I photoshopped my mug I'n them....you fuckin jerk off. So yes, you ARE WRONG TO ASK
Sorry for the loss of your good friends. People are having heart attacks and other life threatening issues at an earlier age these days. I had my heart attack at 42 and the man who owned the deli next to our shop just died a few weeks ago at 41. Don't know if it is lifestyle or stress or what, and most of them never had a symptom prior to the event (I didn't). It makes good sense for anyone over 40 to get regular checkups with a stress test included, that will find a lot of problems before they become fatal. An aspirin a day regimine also can help both for heart attacks and strokes. The picture of your friends wife with a cigarette in her hand also may be somewhat of a clue to what happened. Don
I've been sitting here in stunned silence for the past 20 minutes reflecting on the past year's events in the Reed household. Today started on such a positive note... I'm so sorry, Todd.
Breeder, I don't know you but I do know what it's like to lose some one close, I feel your pain being on this side more often than I really want to remember, I want to remember all of my friends that for some reason left us early while at the same time blocking out that they are gone. sometimes I think about them in anger that they left me, and sometimes I laugh remembering them. I never knew your friend but I know what it's like to lose a friend and as I said I feel your pain.
I can't even believe that you would post something like this on here. People are just unbelievable these days. Gasser Girl
