The Shrine

<div style='font: 14pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>I found out yesterday at work that my father passed away. I knew something was bad when my boss called me into her office without warning, thought I was going to get laid off right then and there. At least it was a peaceful death.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>Man, that's a damn shame, dude. I'm sorry to hear it. How did he die?</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>sorry to hear that, shoon. You have my condolences.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>My condolences.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Geez dude, you're my bud, I'm sorry that happened....</div>

<div style='font: bold 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Sorry to hear that, man.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>My condolences to you and your family.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>You have my condolences.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>aww man, I'm real sorry to hear that :(</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>Think it might've been a heart attack. The trooper said he found him sitting back in the couch with his foot up on a stool, so it seems like it happened in his sleep.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>Thanks, Flip.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>Thank you.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>Thanks, appreciate it.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>Thanks.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>Thanks, Barret.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>Thank you.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>Thanks Tess, I appreciate it.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "arial narrow"; text-align: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 5%; '>Fuck. My condolences man.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>Sorry to hear it. Happened to me 6 years ago.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt ; text-align: left; '>I'm sorry. I don't mean to pry, and if I am please just tell me or ignore it, but was it expected</div>

<div style='font: 10pt ; text-align: left; '>It's not quite the same, but my grandmother had a devastating stroke about eight years ago that was completely unexpected. It wasn't a death, but she can't even really talk anymore. She's trapped in her own head and almost unable to communicate and, in a way, it's almost like at least a part of her died, because she won't ever be able again to share herself with us the way she used to.

I mention it only because I know the pain of having an unexpected loss, and I can sympathize if it were so...</div>

<div style='font: 12pt georgia; text-align: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 5%; '>I'm really sorry, dude.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Fucking awful. I remember when my father passed away (10 years ago), it's the worst. Good luck and try and take care of your mom.....</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>I'm sorry to hear it. I hope you're handling it okay. Pardon my ignorance, but under what circumstances would your boss know before you?</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Having a parent pass away while you are still young is tough. I hope for brighter days in your families future.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Sorry to hear that.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>My condolences...</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>If only I could. She passed away over 10 years ago from cancer, so I'm on my own now. Thanks anyway though.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>Thanks.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>Sorry to hear that And thanks.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>A couple friends of my dad that were living in the area got the news, and they didn't have my cell number but were able to get a hold of my work number.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>Thanks, Andrew.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>Thank you.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>Thank you.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>Thanks, Don.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>And that's horrible about your grandmother btw. In a way it's almost worse than being completely dead, because now she can't function or communicate at all, but technically she's still alive so you're still forced to deal with that reality. You have my condolences.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Something similar happened to my grandmother, except it really effected her mind, not her ability to communicate. She didn't know where she was or when it was. It was hard to watch. When she died, there was sadness, but she really hadn't been with us for a while.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Fuck, well, try and take care of yourself and any siblings you might have, they'll need ya now</div>

<div style='font: 10pt ; text-align: left; '>Yeah...thank you. And to you as well. I'm sorry it was so sudden.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>I'm an only child, so I'm the last with my name. I think I'll be okay though...finance-wise I've got nothing to worry about.</div>
