Frank, Gerry, nothing for me seems to epitomize the tragic nature of 
accidents more than these. Often a momentary lapse, and life is incredibly 
forever different, so  sad, so  sorry, incredible stories. I cared for kids 
with these kind of illnesses, falls, diving accidents. other unbelievable 
stuff.  have posted a few pics.



so very sorry


steve
