ALWAYS TELL THE POPLE YOU LOVE THAT YOU DO! MEGS WILL BE DOWN FOR A WEEK
Meg here, one of my bestfriend's was staying with me for the past 5 days. He was 23 and adventurous and brilliant and everything full of life and kindness. He never came home last night. He was not here in the morning. He loved to try new experiences and was very excited about his plane flying lesson. I got a call there was a chance he was on the small plane ( 2 seater) that crashed yesterday evening. Everyone on board was killed. I drove as soon as I heard to Santa Monica airport feverishly praying this was just a fluke coincidence. I went to speak to anyone with ears and they would not release the name to me. His father was just called in Sweden, where my great friend is from and it is confirmed, he was instantly killed. Now I sit on my couch (where he was staying) among his jacket and computer and clothes and I am in shock.
Love the people in your life, you never know when the chance to hug them will be taken away. Take care of yourselves. I need some time.

Oh Meg... I'm so sorry for your loss, my thoughts are with you.
Meg, I am so, so sorry. If you need anything at all, don't hesitate to call me. <333333 I love you, lady!
it's so horrible to loose someone - regardless of the circumstances. but it hurts so terribly when it's sudden and unnecessary. your friend sounds like like a lovely giving person and the world is a darker place without him. i'm so sorry for your loss and the pain both his family and friends are dealing with.
My heart is broken for you Meg and though I know from experience that there is nothing anyone can say or do to make it better...just know that we are here foryou when you are ready to come back. Take your time and cherish your memories ofhim. Its the connections we make with others while on earth that keep our spiritsalive. God bless you and his family.
Love, hugs and shoes...Angie
Meg, I am jumping in for the first time from lurkdom to express my sadness and condolences for the loss of your friend. I am SO sorry - for you, and for his entire family. Prayers are with you all! With hugs, Cricket
My thoughts and prayers are with you Meg. You will forever be the proof that we was here, that he was loved and will be remembered. Your description of him has made a lasting impression on all that have read it, he is here with us all and he is so proud of you. Stay comforted in his memories and take care.With tears and love,Linda
I don't even know what to say. That's the sort of things I have nightmares about, and you have to live through it right now. I am so terribly sorry. My condolences to his friends and family.
Meg, I am very sorry to hear about your friend. I will be sure to send you as much healing energy as I can!Take time to grieve, and reach out if you need anything!xoxoxo~Maria~
Wow... I'm so sorry.... Over the summer there was a plane crash near where I live. I was a camp counciler and one of my girls (they were 8) told me her best friend had died, who really belives an eight year old when they say that? Turns out her friend had been in the room that the plane crashed into.
Oh, Meg So very very sorry. Hang on to the memories and how wonderful that you had a chance to spend time with him before that tragic accident. So much sadness in the news. My heart and prayers go out to you and his family.Take care of yourself, Lisa
How tragic and random. I am so sorry for your loss and the loss of others.
I am so sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathy to you and all that knew and loved your friend. Wow I am actually teared up as I write this. Take care and will keep all of you in my prayers.
Oh Meg, I am so sorry. I know this is devastating for you. As much as we all love you, we want to make it better... and sadly we can't. Having lost several people close to me in recent years, I know that time is the only thing that can help. Love you and hope you can feel the good thoughts coming your way from all over this country. Sincerely, Carole

Oh Meg, you poor dear! What a horrible loss and to have it happen during your visit together. I'll miss you but understand completely. Please accept my heartfelt condolences for the loss of your friend. There aren't any words one can offer that will ease the pain of this experience, just something to be endured and survived. I also lost the person who was my best friend and I won't lie to you, life is for ever changed. With time you will be able to focus on the good memories and the pain will fade.Take care dear one,let yourself grieve and cry. In the process of letting your feeling go you can and will find healing.
I am so sorry.
If there was a magic wand I could wave, or words that I could say to take the shock and sadness away, I would. But there aren't any. What there is, is love - let that surround you at this time. You, your friend, his family and all those who love him are in my thoughts and prayers...
Hugs and prayers headed your way Meg! So sorry for your loss and paiin.
Oh Dear Meg, I am so sorry. My heart hurts for you. Sending love and prayers for you and your friend's family and all who will be incredibly saddened by this loss. There are never adequate enough words to help - I wish there were - I would say them to you feverishly if they would help. All of us here have our hands on your heart trying to help you at this time. Sending you light and warmth and love dear woman. Take all the time you need - we will be here when you are ready to return.
Jeanasina!

Dear Meg, I am so very sorry for your loss. My heart breaks for you, as I know how it feels to have a friend that you love so much.

Yikes! What a mess of a week you've had! I've had to stay away from the computer and am now permitted my ten minutes online because of my head pain. Meg, I could not be more sorry about your friend--the shock must be horrific! Since he knew you, I'm sure he experienced the same love and enormous kindness we all have from you; you have a way of touching people which is hard to describe. Look at the group of fantastic, kind women who spoke up to express their feelings! This just doesn't happen elsewhere. He is Home, and we are the ones away from Home, though our feeble human minds have a hard time grasping that. One way I use to cope with losing loved ones is to remind myself that no one leaves the planet alive. If he had the choice, he would not return. Suggestion: Do you keep a journal? I find it a great catharsis, a way to vent privately and review later. Do what you need to do to mourn once the shock wears off--scream, punch holes in walls, cry, and laugh about the good times you had. He is still with you in spirit. Time will pass, but your bond will remain unbreakable. As always, you are in my continual thoughts and prayers. God Bless, Gigi
Meg, I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Meg stay strong, Cherish memories, take time for yourself to heal. My condolences to you and his family and friends. God Bless
you are in my prayers Meg,I am so very saddened to read of your loss.
so sorry for your loss....it's a reminder to all....nothing is permanent.....everything is temporary....enjoy life and the people you love with all of your heart- NOW. i dont know you but i feel for you....liz
Oh Meg! I am so very sorry about the loss of you sweet friend. I am not sure what to this. I wish I could have read this in January so I could have been there for you. I know that if he was a friend of yours he must have been a very special guy indeed.I hope you are coping a little easier now. I have lost people in my life (family) that I think about EVERYDAY I am breathing. Soon you will only remember the good times and laugh about the funny things when you think about him. You will be in my prayers.Heaven gained another angel.Meg...may God bless you.
