Jsixspd Posted January 7, 2014 Report Posted January 7, 2014 I didn't know anything about this before - I'm very, very sorry, Eleven, to read of your loss. Condolences and prayers.
sicknfla Posted January 7, 2014 Report Posted January 7, 2014 So sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and both your families.
Iron Crotch Posted January 7, 2014 Report Posted January 7, 2014 ######. So sorry to hear that Eleven. I can't imagine how difficult it has been for you. Hang in there. Let us dorks help.
qwksndmonster Posted January 7, 2014 Report Posted January 7, 2014 ###### dammit. I'm so sorry Eleven.
drnkirishone Posted January 7, 2014 Report Posted January 7, 2014 Sorry for your loss. May each passing day be better then your last
Doohicksie Posted January 7, 2014 Report Posted January 7, 2014 My condolences as well. So sorry. If you mentioned it previously, I didn't catch any posts on her illness, so this is quite a shock. :( Sorry.
SarasotaSabre Posted January 7, 2014 Report Posted January 7, 2014 I don't know you Eleven nor have we met, but I feel like I know you somehow now Some of us on this board are separated by different ideologies, different politics, different ways of looking at things. Alot of us (myself included) are ex-pats who are proud to call B-lo home and would never think twice about taking the shirt off our our backs to help someone in need. Buffalo, the city of good neighbors; that culture has never left me. I am grateful to be a member of this board and to have been included in the sharing of your tragic loss. It is my sincere hope that you find some comfort & solace from the words of those have replied to your OP and those who will be writing. Count me among those who have you & your family, and your fiancee, in my prayers. God bless ~
Two or less Posted January 7, 2014 Report Posted January 7, 2014 Eleven, that is heartbreaking reading. I can't imagine what you are dealing with. I very deeply sorry for your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you. [*]
X. Benedict Posted January 7, 2014 Report Posted January 7, 2014 Eleven, old friend. My heartfelt sympathies.
Peppy22 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Posted January 7, 2014 Always tough to find the right words in a situation like that. I am sorry to hear that... Its something that no one ever should have to go through. My condolences
JJFIVEOH Posted January 7, 2014 Report Posted January 7, 2014 Not sure there are the right words for a situation like this. Just to say, hang in there Eleven. Don't mourn the loss, celebrate a life.
Bob Malooga Posted January 7, 2014 Report Posted January 7, 2014 I was going to put this in Thursday's complaint thread, but I think I will want to shut it down after a little while, so I'm starting this separately. Plus, the complaint thread is best left to funny, petty complaints about the person ahead of you in line for coffee and stuff like that. As some of you know directly, my fiancee was diagnosed with cancer three months before we were to have been married. She fought valiantly, but she lost her fight very early yesterday morning. She was a HUGE Sabres fan. If date night was a game night, there was no question what we were going to do. In fact, most nights, if there was a non-Sabres game on NHLN or CBC, that's what she wanted to watch. She even "refused" to leave the hospital upon discharge unless I promised to take her to the home opener this year (which I did, upon two doctors' approval, for one period only, and via cab so that she wouldn't have to walk). (And yes, she would have had to leave anyway.) She cheered the Lindy Ruff firing, but I didn't let it break us up. She also lovingly mocked me for participating on this board--she called it the "Sabre dorkfest," which I think is fine. To me, she was the most wonderful woman in the world. So why am I posting this here? Partly for catharsis, but most of that is over already. Mostly, to thank you folks. The handful (less, actually) of you who knew what I was going through were really supportive, always willing to lend a (virtual, or in freeman's case, physical) ear, and help me deal with things. But every one of you provided a welcome and important diversion over what turned out to be the most difficult five months of my life. This is, after all, a place to go to get away from the real world. And every one of you helped me do that. There are some tough days ahead, but they won't be as tough as the ones we just left behind. I'll be around, because I need to talk hockey and get my mind off of things. So, thank you all, welcome to the youngest widower on the board, and may the sweetest and dearest Sabres fan I ever have known watch from above as the team raises the Cup someday. Thoughts and prayers sent your way, from the Finger Lakes, my friend. <3 I lost my Father to cancer back in 2008, and quite a few more since. Seeing my Mother deal with it for the past nearly 6 years, I can only imagine your pain. Stay strong...she is watching over you, I promise you that much. Deepest condolences and best wishes... - Tyler (PS. I can only hope to be half the man, and husband, that you are.)
Rox11 Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 And the brightest star up in the sky is hopefully the twinkle in her eye for the happiness and peace you brought each other ...
HopefulFuture Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 My deepest sympathies for your loss eleven. Prayers to you and yours at this time.
inkman Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 :censored: :( Don't go through too much of this alone. You'll need support and you know who you can count on.
G-Daddy Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 So sorry to hear of your loss. May the memories of your time together help you through this difficult time. Prayers being offered.
wonderbread Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 Sorry 11. My prayers to you and yours
wjag Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 Eleven, I'm stunned and saddened. The devotion to you and the Sabres comes out through your words. Please accept my condolensces. Sincerely and humbly, A member of the dorkfest.
RJforPrez Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 This dorky lurker is so very, very sorry to hear your sad news. I lost my other half to that thrice-accursed disease just short of our tenth anniversary two years ago...time helps, but there will always be a him-shaped hole in my heart. Take comfort where you can, and know that the edges of the hole do eventually hurt less. F F-ING CANCER.

nobody Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 I have placed a black armband around my avatar as commemoration.
Robviously Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 Thoughts and prayers for you and your family, Eleven. I'm really sorry for your loss. You can count on everyone here to support you through everything. Obviously there's nothing we can do or say to make you feel better (I wish we could), but maybe the daily Sabres shenanigans on this board can help provide a distraction from what you're going through. Hang in there.
