Sorry for your loss Weed, may they rest in eternal peace and you gain the strength to carry on.

As you all know Dad passed away September 30/2023. Mom has been in a nursing home since August 2023. Dad and her were supposed to meet there but it was not to be.
On March 05/2023 Mom was rushed by ambulance to Emergency care. She was suffering from pneumonia, a UT infection and poor circulation in her legs. Mom passed away at 1:00 this morning.
Dad at 91 and mom 88 after 69 years of marriage they are together again. Their pain and suffering in now over.
Although sad our family is so happy they are finally free.
Cheers and Love to All.
Wayne (Weed)

Hello everyone,
My name is Manuel. I have been playing Call of Duty since 2005 (COD1). On your servers you can meet me under the nickname ..:::MANE:::... (most of you mispronounce my nickname, but I'm already used to it :D)
I would say that I played with you for the first time about 7-8 years ago. I like that most of your members (at least that's my impression) are more mature. That's one of the reasons why I'm "stuck" with you :D.
Socializing through the game on your server has a relaxing effect on me (mostly :D). I'm sure some of you have a different experience.
I look forward to meeting you again on one of your servers.
Stay healthy.

Some of you have probably seen the reports of the tragedy that not only happened in my neighborhood (5 houses down!) but also struck my firefighter family last night.
Many of you may (or may not) know that I have been volunteering at the Sterling Volunteer Fire Company for the past 15 years.
Last night my wife and I were finishing our dinner when I noticed a dispatch on my cell phone for an outside gas leak just up the street from my house.
These are generally routine calls, however, last night was anything but normal.  
Our crews arrived on scene to find an underground 500 gallon propane tank leaking.  As they normally do, they request a hazardous materials response to assist with these types of calls.
Within seconds the home literally exploded.  Our house shook like a plane crashed on it.  I bolted out front and saw the huge plume of smoke and a fireball that was taller than the trees.  I immediately knew what happened.
As a company photographer I grabbed my boots and my camera and bolted.  I was there in less than 3 minutes after the blast.  It was literally like a war zone.
We lost a brother last night.  And 7 others from my fire company were severely injured.  A few were released this morning, but others remain in the hospital.  Please say a prayer for them all.....
I want to thank those of you that reached out to me this morning.  You have no idea how much that means to me. 
 My wife and I, and our house are fine.  We are devastated at the loss of our beloved friend firefighter Trevor Brown.  And we are anxious to get the rest of our firefighters out of the hospital.
Please keep them all in your prayers....
Here is a local news story about the incident:
