    I lost a dear friend in a horrific ambulance accident today.

    I would also caution you about what you say on here until the investigation is complete. If you do post any info on what happened, make sure it is something that has already been made public so you dont get yourself into trouble by accident. But I am sorry for your loss, there are no words...

    Love to get some feedback here....

    I do also want to commend you for the way you did react; you gave them ample time, and even tried to lead them by example.

    Chimpie, My thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of your family. I think everyone would agree that we are all here for you if you need anything. As for being your last grandparent I can share your feelings, I have lost three out of four of my grandparents in the last 18 months. And...
