my condolences also ...
you know, I clicked on this thread because I thought, hmn, I wonder if someone's taking a sabbatical from the forum and is saying bye to John G.? I honestly caught my breath when I realised the real subject of the post. I don't even know you or your friend, but I'm genuinely sorry. so young ...
I suppose there're times when even though you take all the reasonable precautions and do everything right, you still have something happen to you.
take care,
alex.
