Damn...
I know I have not really talked to you much since back in the early days of the VBB, but I will never forget that familiar name, which came with all of the good qualities of a true man. You will be sorely missed my old friend. I may not be religious, but you and your mother will be in my prayers tonight.
I wish her the very best, no matter what happens always be there for her and cherish your time together. This kind of threat is always an eye opener, and I hope it will make you go and hug your family, kiss your spouse and tell them you love them, and tell all your friends how much they mean to you. Because we can never tell when we may not be able to...
Godspeed, man.
You'll be missed.
