RIP MOM 1-6-08
« on: January 07, 2008, 03:04:41 PM »
My mother was killed in the 100+ car pileup on I-39/94 in Wisconsin.


I just want to take this chance to thank everyone that has contacted me, and my family with caring, and love.  I ask that you keep my mom, her husband Ralphy, and my brother Domininic, and his wife Sally in your prayers.  They need all of your thoughts, and compassion.

Based on the number of times I have seen things like this which were not true, I am just asking you to reply confirming that you are not joking in any way.
Assuming that you are not, that really sucks :cry:  Here's a beer, it's the least I can do.  /emote passes you a beer.  Hopefully it all went quickly...

EDIT: Only 2 people were killed, and it happened TODAY not the 6th. Boy do I feel like an ass.  :oops: :evil: I'm never going to care about anyone again.

I'm sorry for chewing you out, Missa. My bad, I'm eating my crow with a fork. :wink:

And Missa, he doesn't joke around. Really, you should know better, that's not soemthing to joke about...  :roll:

In the last year I have known 1 person online to fake the death of a loved one and I have known one person to have faked their own suicide.  I further do not know the poster at all.  Maybe I'm a little jaded from life?

I'm completely befuddled by this thread.

My sincere condolences - try to think good thoughts and remember the good times.

To the skeptics: more than 100 vehicles were involved in accidents, resulting in two deaths.  I'm assuming that Nectarsis's mother was Beatrice Winrich, who was indeed a victim of the poor weather conditions.  Read the article here.

Sorry Kitsu, it happened on Sunday, though it doesn't mention anything about 100 cars, nor can I find any news stories anywhere about a 100 car pile up, not in Wisconsin.

I was able to find the story. Well if it is true, then I'm sorry. :(

Sorry to hear about that.

My dad passed away a few months ago (I didn't mention it before, since I wasn't up to talking about it), but we knew it was coming, which is a lot easier than a sudden accident.

things are gonna seem to suck for a while. Keep what family you have left close.

Missa...that is not a joke even for the biggest a$$hole...

Nat..why are you beffudeled??

Necro...you are correct...Bee Winrich was my mother.  My step-father Ralphy has a broken shoulder, but made it.


I thank all of you for your thoughts, and concerns.  I know I haven't been on here long...but many of you have made this feel like a second home here, and I thank you

nectarsis, the first few posts in this thread had me convinced this was some kind of spam. You can thank Missa and Kitsunexus's tag team effort for that one.

Since it is obviously no joke, I'm terribly sorry for your loss.

Thank you (and to all).   I know it sounds kinda dumb...but I feel at home here, and just needed to tell someone.  To all who have sent their thoughts I thank you.  It helps in such a hard time.  Ironically, my mom actually started defending my love of video games for the past few years...and even paid for an Ebay auction for a few PC Engine games as  my Xmas present.  Once again...thanks
