Hi wiseone: Thanks for the heads up. Yes, sending blessings to the family and friends of GabrielRead More Diaz-Cervantes.
wiseone March 15, 2013 at 01:14 pm
This is so sad for the victim's family, the driver and for the other employees.. I hope thisRead More accident is thoroughly investigated by CAL -OSHA as it sounds like it may have been preventable. Not to nitpick, but an editor needs to change the word "morning" (a time of day) to "mourning" (experiencing grief) in the first sentence. Bless Mr Diaz-Cervantes family during this difficult time.

Was this a work related injury? If so what can be done, to catch it faster in Fire fighters? ThereRead More are so many dangers of that job.

WOW, Your comment was so un thoughtful and disrespectful didn't your mother ever teach you "ifRead More you have nothing nice to say , then say nothing at all " With that being said I am very sad for your loss.

My heart goes out to the family and relatives.

May God Bless Kelly and her family, I did not know her personally but my spouse did know and workRead More with Chief Melton and we are very sad for his and his children's loss. May the good Lord watch over you and your family and help you through such tragic times.

Rest in peace Kelly, and may your love ones find comfort with the compassion of strangers... What aRead More nice lady Kelly was. I consider myself very lucky to having met her while volunteering at RMS in several occasions, and soccer club at least once a year. We talked about kids, family, life, politics and vampires. We became "Twilight" fans. Kelly will be dearly missed indeed!
Pamela Tuthill January 28, 2013 at 02:24 pm
My heartfelt sympathy to the Melton family. I had the honor of working with Kelly on severalRead More occasions through New Tech High. She was driven, organized, talented, funny and compassionate. She set the bar high and celebrated when people reached her expectations. My life was enriched just knowing her and I'm confident that her legacy will live on through her family and friends. God bless her family and may her light always shine on those she left behind.

Keep supporting your friends Johnny, you are a strong young man, it shows in your comment. I'm veryRead More sorry about the loss of your friend. Everyone is affected differently while going through the grieving process and I want to make sure you watch your friends closely, and care for each other through this time. God bless all of you.

I assisted Tucker Welling get his papers in check for the United States Army... Tucker enlisted, wasRead More on the path of become a hero of many lands, not just this great country we call home, but the country of the poor, or the less fortunate. Tucker was a helper, a hero. He wanted to become a veternarian for the United States Army, as he had a passion to help people, AND animals. I know the victims of the accident personally, all of them... Ryan knows that what happened that night changed all of our lives, and Ryan is sinked... Tucker took his last breath in my friends arms, and I know what it's like to have a close friend die in your arms... Your crying.. You yelling... You are unresponsive to the truth of what has happened... BUT through all of this, one hero has fallen, and many have begun to rise.. Tucker was inspirational in more ways then countable.. Ryan, you know what to do, HOOAH! Tucker, you know what to do, HOOAH! HOOAH my brothers! You can't hurt steel, and we are steel, as long as we all stick together we are steel... Thank you..

I did not have the privilege of knowing the young man who died, Tucker Welling. My heart goes out toRead More his family and I wish there were something I could say to them that would help them through this horrific ordeal. However, I am the grandmother of one of the survivors. When I first saw him lying in his hospital bed covered in blood, face covered with scrapes and cuts, I leaned over and kissed his forehead. Then I said to him, "I could be looking down on you in a casket instead of a hospital bed. You have been given a second chance at life." I wish there were some way that our young people could realize that they are not invincible. That the adrenaline rush received from driving cars at high speeds, is in fact a type of drug, clouding the judgement of all four of these young persons. My God bless all of then.

It's been over three months and I am still in shock that my brother has passed away. He had manyRead More great friends that played in the bands (Elixir, Topaz, Exxe, X-Men J. Silverheels and the Deadlies} I think that I have all of them!!! It was nice talk to them, at that sad time. You are part of our family. I do remember the shows that Exxe played with the Micheal Spears Band because I dated and married Rhino. Jim was a great drummer and the dedication he had shows by the respect of those who knew him, as well as, worked with him.

Hi Laura, Me and my EXXE days go way back to when Jim Lang, introduced himself and his not yet namedRead More Band EXXE through the great Sonoma Harp player. Norton Buffalo (who is also recently deceased in 2011): Mike Whittington, Mark Tate, Sam Neff, Rick Joens - later also Henry Hewitt. I am sorry I did not hear about Jim's passing earlier. Just heard today. I have not kept up with many in the former Band EXXE: I was only their Manager and just loved all the things we did as a great young Band of youngsters who when I met them told me that they played original music, like from Led Zepplin and AC/DC - with the introductory words "If it's too loud, you're too old, you better leave ...Sorry to hear and blessings to Jim's Family. I'm still in Novato, turmed 69 this past December:: Clark Blasdell, My email address is: clark@nfh.org 2/5/13

I was unaware that Jim had past. It really blows my mind. He was always a gentleman and an excellentRead More drummer. I have worked with him in several of his musical endevours through the 80's and upward. He will be sorely missed R.I.P Jimmy.
