    My words are cheap but heart-felt. Condolences to you and your family/friends, always remember the good times as that is what helps get you through the tough times. It's helped me tremendously as I've lost those closest to me.

    I'm so very sorry. There are few words at a time like this. Hold their memories dear. Keep them alive in your heart. Try not to dwell on the why. Instead, remember who they were and how they lived and what they meant to you and your family.

    I can't even imagine what you are going through. But at times like these, when it feels like the world is crumbling around you, always remember that you are stronger than you think you are. Your strength will be an asset to the rest of your family. And theirs to you.

    Deepest condolences.

    Keeping you and your family in our thoughts. I've covered this exact situation and there are not enough words of praise to properly describe the compassionate professionalism of first responders, investigators, and others.

    Reticent to post because I'm terrible at expressing condolences. I'm just very, very sorry.

    I'd somehow missed this thread until now. I'm sorry about that, Mile High, but I am, selfishly, almost glad, too. I mean, what to say about this?

    I am so sorry, Mile High. I know what I would do in this situation, and can only suggest the same to you: Look to God and to each other among family and friends. And know that you've got a few of them here. I hope that offers you at least some comfort during this horrible time.
