News that I hate to post

Hi all,
This is hard for me to write, but here goes.

My son, Thomas, died last night. While he was a long time bike rider, he did not go out while riding, but from a short lived illness.

I probably won't be here for a while.

Jon

Desperately sorry, Jon.

Sympathy, love, prayers and thoughts come to you and your family from across the Pond.

Sorry to hear that, Jon.

Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. The forum will miss you and we will be here when you decide to return.

So sorry to hear that Jon. My thoughts are with you.

Jon, My condolences to you and your entire family.

So sorry , God Bless.

Jon,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I enjoyed our visit when we had dinner in Cheyenne Wyo that day.
Can I do anything to be of service or help?
Your Friend,
Dave Rice

Jon (and family),

I kept writing and re-writing this post because none of the fully conveyed the deep sadness for both you and your family with the death of your son. You and your family have been in my thoughts and prays today.

If there is anything we can do for you or your family, please do not hesitate to let us know.

You and yours are in my prayers, Jon.

I just changed the picture at the top of the forum.

It is not a picture of a Silverwing or picture of someone traveling on a Silverwing. The picture is from Jon Callihan's website www.joncallihan.com .

Every time you bring up the Silverwing forum, there will be a constant reminder for Jon and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to hear of your loss Jon. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Heart felt sympathies to you Jon, your family and friends.

No one can imagine what you are feeling but your friends and on line family are here for you.

Jon,
Please accept my sincere condolences. "No parent should have to lose a child."

Fred

It is times like this that reminds us that we are all part of one family and all feel the pains of our brothers and sisters.

Take care Jon. You and your family are being prayed for all around the world.

Sorry to hear that, Jon.

Prayers to you and the family.

Bob

My condolences Jon, take care, mate.

I am just seeing this, Jon. I am so very sorry. I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child, no matter the age. Please know so many of us on the Swing forum are sending love and prayers to you and yours. Take care and we'll be here to offer what support we can when you return.

I am very sorry.

My condolances John, my prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

Bill,

Thanks for the tribute. We said goodbye to him today. I'm glad that the lead picture is something real again.

Jon

PS, I think that I had something to do with this photo as well.

In the sense that you encouraged my first ride to Monument Valley, Jon, you certainly did.

Welcome back, and please know that many of us here continue to send prayers on behalf of you and yours.

I am late here and a newbie to this site, but not a newbie to life. This is tough stuff. I wish I could remember who this quote was from, but I live by it:

"The tears of adversity are the telescopes to the heavens."

I hope you can smile again soon.

Im very sorry guy....my reguards.....
