A moment for a good friend...

Post by seskis281 »

Late last night one of our group suffered a tragedy, when his mother was killed in a car accident here in Wisconsin.

Our friend Jeff (or as he would be known by his infamous character & society name, Lord Destro) has asked us to continue our game today, something we are hesitant to do but he has made it clear we will be more helpful to him today by our soldiering forth, so that he knows life goes forward even as he deals with this tragedy. After much soul searching, we are indeed continuing, but in honor of Lord Destro.

Keep this Crusader in your thoughts today.

That's total suckage. Hope him and family get through things okay.
