I just recently found out that a high school friend of mine passed away, whats even worse than him being gone is that he died two years ago and I just found out. I am sorry Jeff that I didn’t know before now, I’ll miss you and may you forever rest in peace.

Kadejdra it sounds like you are reaching our for help. I haven’t lost a close friend or fiance, but I have lost. It is normal to be hurt and to feel dead inside your self, but what we have to try to do is be strong. I’m sorry he died but that was for him you can’t die for him or with him. Unfortunately, the pain is not going away over night and to be real it may be months before it gets easier. You have to let go and let God do it. Try not to be mad at God for Chris leaving, but pray to him for understanding and the wisdom to make the right decisions and not do something that I promise you, you will regret. You have family I’m sure think about them. I am hurting for you because I feel you are thinking really crazy and I don’t want you to do something to hurt yourself. You are in my heart and in my prayers. Just know you are not alone…

A good friend of mine Susan Bonitatibus passed away last week in Merrimack NH. She was relaxing with a friend in the river and got swept away in a strong river current.
Sue was a wonderful woman full of life, who carred about the environment, enjoyed the outdoors, and love her whippet shazam. She had a wonderful laugh and a smile that would lighten up the room. She loved Greyhounds and hepled at retired grayhounds shelter -Grayhound Placement Service of Golfstown. She had many friend and she will be missed greatly by those that knew her. The world is slightly darker place now that her light has is gone.

It has been a little over a year now since my friend Susan Bonitaibus passed away.
She has been thought of often and missed many times over the past year. She has not been forgotten. For you who knew her, her passing was remembered …flowers were placed on the date and the place she was lost her life. She was a wonderful woman and a good friend… rest in peace Sue…

You ever felt like you just wanted to die, you have so many reason to live but you still just want to die. life is so terrible for me right now. I lost someone very close to me, I’m in financial debt like crazy i just don’t know…I’m not the type to commit suicide but this mountain I’ve been climbing for a few years now is getting old. I guess in a way this is a cry for help but who is there really to help me. It’s ashamed that you have to be dead to know what death feels like, I sometimes wish I could take a peak over and see if it’s better than here.

Wanna Die
I think everyone has felt that feeling at one time or another. When someone close to you dies it makes everthing feel worse. You are in pain and in grief and are hurting. You would like that hurt and all the rest to go away…. suicide doesn’t sound so bad… all the pain and the struggle would be over. yes I have been there too.
There is a lot of things I could say about “tomorrow will be better” or “nothing lasts for ever”… stuff you could read from a dozen greeting cards. All I can say is keep on putting one foot in front of the other. Ya the climbing is getting old. The finance may be bad but it is just money… many people loose everything and start over again. Its not important what you have in this life, what is important is that you ARE in this life. Life may be terrible for you at this moment, that is expected you just lost someone close to you. I doubt if you were talking to that person if she/he would want you to leave this life just because it is hard for you. While you are in this world you touch many people around you and you make a difference in their lives. You may or may not know how you being here has shaped or helped otheres, but it has. Think of your departed friend… you are feeling grief for him/her. That person has made a difference in your life. You do the same as you go through your life…touching so many people. That person’s on earth ended, as did a close friend of mine. I miss her every day and sometimes it is hard to get up out of bed. She made a difference in my life and she would not want me to join her before my time. I do not know how long I have left, we all will die someday. Someday you and I will learn what death feels like. Maybe its to a new life on the “other side” maybe it is a one way trip to nothingness where we simply cease to exist.
All I know is that I’ll take that trip when it comes to me, I’ll not seek it out. There are good things and people in life. I still believe life is worth living despite all the hurt, problems and heart ache. I wish I could do more to help you, but the best I can do is to let you know is that I understand how you feel and to remember you are not alone in what you feel or think.
Comment by Just someone out there... — August 22, 2008 @ 3:28 pm
I just found this web site when Googleing for information about Susan Bonitatibus. I was glad to see someone had alreadly written a small piece about her on the site . I can’t tell you how shocked and saddened I was to hear about her accidental drowning in Merrimack. It was only a few weeks prior that I had seen her at Greyhound Placement Service laughing and talking to her friends and doing dog nails!
I’ve known Sue for a long time and she was a wonderful lady. She was always in the company of her whippet Shizzam and liked to help out GPS where and when she could. Thinking back, I remember so many things… I remember her great smile and laugh and that she had a pretty good sense of humor…. I remember talking to her many times about her interests in bike riding, long distances running, and various walks in the woods she had taken. For the most part I just remember her as a kind and caring person full of life.
I was hoping to see her obituary in the newspaper because quite a few of us from the “dog world” would have liked to have atteneded the service and paid their respects to the family.
We would have liked to have told them we share their feeling of sues’ loss and we would have liked to have told them what a wonderful, special person we thought Susan was. I just found out that the family decided not to put one in the paper and just had a private service. I thought I’d just leave a comment here to say that Susan was quite a special person in this life. She was kind and caring and she will be missed by all that knew and loved her… and there are quite a few of us out her that did.

I am Giorgio Pietrobon a retired Teacher , 66, Treviso, Italy , who is studying the WWII aircombat in Southern Europe happened on 19 December 1943.
I am looking for news/pictures about a B-17 Fortress ‘ Pilot of 99th BG who was captured as POW by Germans during a duel with a Me 109G over the Casies ‘ Valley, Bolzano province, Italy.
I found a lot of info , above all on the fate of 3 Airmen Gunners KIA . See in armyairforces.com. But I am specially interested to find pictures of Lt. CYRIL C. STIDD who arrived wounded but alive into a pine wood when he was always piloting IN the cokpit !
He passed away on 24 July 1990. Probably The Tampa Tribune , in his town , published a picture in the obituary of this Hero of the USAAF , at time retired USAF Lt. Colonel.
Can you help me in this search which will be also a book around a forgotten event?
Every credit assured. Thanks a lot.
