hi cmdale,

i was so sad to read the title of your email - i knew what was to follow.

i lost my brother jon on 5.11.01. jon was 36.

i am so sorry for your loss of your son. no parent should lose a child.

i was just thinking how quiet this site has been until i just received your
email.

my mom will never be the same since losing jon. she also refers to his death
as an accident - which it obviously was - i just prefer to elaborate on AeA
when people ask me how he died - i want everyone to know the dangers and i
want people to put a face on such a tragic loss.

i am so sorry you had to even find this site.

with love,
christy mattey
jon's sister
