I just got home from attending a wake of a very good friend of mine. He was the firefighter in jersey who passed away suddenly on Sunday. It was unbelievable! They blocked the highways off...the entire fire department was there guarding the casket and ushering people in and out. There was at least 400 people there. You see, I was married to a fireman for 10 years. The man who died, his wife was the one to introduce me to my ex. Back in the 80's, we went on double dates together. And I just can't believe that this wonderful man is now not with us anymore. He left behind a wife, a 12-year old son and a 2 year old son.

heartfelt condolences for your loss

thank you....much appreciated. This whole thing just brings back so many memories of me and my ex...very difficult.
