ATTENTION! ALL WHO KNOW DEMOLITION WOMAN.

[Particle]

suddenly the stuff I'm working on here at the office seem to lack appeal. That thread of you guys hiking/skiing country lane last week was awesome. shmoe, hang in there buddy. unbelievable.

well said Stash. I never met her but it's awful to lose someone close, even through second-hand acquaintances. not much I can say but I'm so sorry and will be sending prayers to you and her family.

[ryank]

I keep wanting to say more, but I can't.. There's so much to be said, but I can't say it.

I've been thinking about this all day and it just breaks my heart. My only consolation is that I hope Shmoe knows that she is floating her landings on effortless hucks under bluebird skies in deep and eternal pow where your tracks disappear after 5 minutes, just enough for her to look back at her handiwork - only to shred the untouched snow again! She is enjoying the kind of day that every maggot and maggette dreams about.

Again, positive vibes, Shmoe.

Prayers going out for you! So sorry for you loss!

[Parvo Pup]

I am so sorry for your loss and pain.

In memories one can live forever - remember Britany in life and she will live forever in your heart.

[SherpaStyle]

Condolences... My thoughts are with you and your family.

[Mountain Junkie]

I am so sorry. My sincerest condolences.

Even though we have never met, on some level we are all kindred spirits, connected through skiing. You are in my thoughts.

[Froman]

Sorry to hear about your tragic loss. I can't say anything that hasn't been said. Stay strong, and if you need anything, let the collective of mags know - we're all here to help you through this.

[Johnny Gunn]

I read this in the morning and was lost for words ... and I still am. Can't imagine what the people who knew her are going through.

Shmoe, my thoughts and prayers are for you and her family and friends.

[El Kanone]

My head is spinning from reading this. All of my best thoughts are with you and all of your family and friends. Life and everything in it is far to amazing for it just to be over, she has gone elsewhere and you'll meet again.

[hway2]

It looks like you guys had some awesome times together and that she was a charger. I am so sorry for your loss, but thank you for sharing.

Myself and Bobbi, DW's closest friend, went and saw Shmoesmith today.
I have known both DW and Shmoesmith for 10 years or so.

Shmoesmith isn't taking it well and REALLY needs the support of his friends and family right now.

This is completely and totally mind boggling.
There were absolutly no signs of this happening.
Demolition Woman was Shmoesmiths Joy.

I am devastated by this.
Shmoesmith even more so.

I will miss you Britt.

[rippah]

Ouch.

Though I've never met either of you I can only imagine what you are going through. And as bad as those imaginings are, they will still fall short of your reality.

Gather your friends, the people you love, let them carry you for a while.
Deepest condolences.

James,
Let us know if there's anything we can do.

[givethepigeye]

My thoughts and prayers with you, family and friends.

[mushmouth]

My sincerest condolences to you.

We've been married for almost 2 yrs and while reading this I tried to imagine myself in your shoes. My mind raced across the past and plans for the future. It's impossible to try to comprehend your feelings.

Life is difficult and precious. A burden (and benefit) imposed on us for our intelligence are our feelings, including ego, and empathy and sometimes they can be too much to carry.

Just understand it's not your fault. You live the life interacting, loving, trusting, using the best information provided.

[teambigdave]

I am truly sorry


I'm not letting go of my wife tonight

[LAN]

I am so sorry. Keeping you close in thought and prayer.

Myself, and Bobbi, DW's best friend, just spent the day with Doug aka Shmoesmith.

He isn't taking it well at all.
DW was Dougs Joy in life.
Doug, his family and friends are all DEVASTATED.

This is a complete and total shock.

Thank you for letting us know that Doug is among friends right now.

I just met Doug last weekend during the Saturday maggot party.
Sunday in the parking lot @ Solitude He immediately came up to me and started talking about skiing and riding. He made me feel that I was welcome and part of the group. He and I then sat in the local coffee place talking about general stuff before heading up the hill.

It was apparent to me that he was a young man with allot going for him.
I knew within an hour of meeting him that he was married and very much IN LOVE with his wife.

What has happened to him is unimaginable to me.

My thoughts and prayers go to Doug.

[gorms]

Devastating
Peace and strength to all who knew her
~+~

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

What has happened to him is unimaginable to me.

My thoughts and prayers go to Doug.

I've tried to respond to this thread 10 times and didn't know what to say. Just unimaginable to me as well.

I've never met you Doug, but damn dude, I'm thinking about you and hoping for the best, and glad you're amongst friends.

heartfelt positives vibes to you my man. heartfelt positives vibes to you...

[girlski0912]

We are all there for you Doug...whether you know us or not. And she is still here, whether you see her or not.

I am so sorry for the unspeakable shock and pain you're experiencing. Although he wasn't a spouse I did lose someone I loved to suicide. The grief was howling and wild and desolate, and for the first few months I was aware of it even in my sleep. I know you are the only person who can possibly begin to understand the depth of who and what you've lost with your soul mate's death, but I hope you're surrounded by people who know a lot about you both, and who can help keep you walking through the tough times ahead.

[Schmear]

I've tried to respond to this thread 10 times and didn't know what to say.

Same here. I can't imagine what shmoesmith must be going through. I don't want to imagine it.

[HotCarl]

Sooo freakin sad. I hope shes in a happier place now. Hang in there,bud

[Chitown Pow]

it's hard to find words to match the loss. I'm sorry.
