I wasn't sure if I wanted to post this anywhere on this site but I decided to.. I will not be posting on this site for the next several weeks. Possibly longer. Late last night my sister, her husband (My brother-in-law) and his parents were killed in a car crash over in Wales. Miraculously my 12 year old niece and 13 year old nephew survived the crash but are currently in guarded condition. I will be flying out here shortly over to Wales to be with my niece and nephew. Please keep my family in your prayers during this time. Hopefully while I am gone the men's basketball team can win a MAC championship and the hockey team can make it to the NCAA tournament. Go Falcons!

This is exactly what I wish I had the words to type so I will just piggy back it. I can't imagine what your family is going through. Such impossible and terrible things. Whatever you can offer them will be enough.

I think it goes without saying, ALL of us have been saddened by your terrible news. I wish you only the best in dealing with this tragedy, but hope you'll be strong for your niece and nephew, who've lost their parents at such a young age.

There really are no words....so I'll echo these prayers, Gmartin. Your family is in my prayers for as much strength as you need.
If you need anything, we'll all be here for you.

Thank you for all your prayers and well wishes. Fortunately my niece and nephew will be okay. They have a long road of recovery ahead of them. I will be staying over here at least for a month. Somebody needs to be here at the hospital with them. My sister, brother-in-law, and his parents funeral will be later this week back in Pittsburgh. Even though I would like to attend my sister's funeral I still think it's best that I'm here for my niece and nephew. I'm going to try and stream the women's and men's game tonight. I'm not in Ireland but I'm close to Ireland so maybe I can wish the Luck of the Irish onto our Falcons.

Having laid a sibling to rest well before his time....I know how hard it has to be for you to miss your sister's funeral..., you're 100% right to put your niece and nephew first. They need to have family with them .
