    Default David Gage lost his mom today...

    And there's no sad emotocon thingy. This certainly warrants an exceptionally sad emotocon... The little drunk frown thing on the right doesn't cut it.

    He and Claudia are both in Tennessee and I doubt they're going to be online for a bit, but they are both such a huge part of the WBF family, I thought you'd like to know.

    I have an early am flight to Oregon, so will be off line myself. For those of you that have their numbers, don't hesitate to reach out to them. In accordance with her wishes there's not going to be a service.

    Bummer.

    Thank you all so very very much. Mom passed quickly, quietly, and gently. Claudia and I had just spent the best weekend with her over the weekend of the fourth. Her spirits were high, gaining strength and doing great. We had both just spoken to her on Wednesday evening and said our goodnights. Thursday morning she didn't answer the phone and we knew she had passed. Called the neighbors and with Claudia on the phone, they found her lying peacefully beside her bed, eternally asleep.

    You prayers and sentiments are so heartfelt and warm and mean so much to us.

    Words cannot express the family we share here on the WBF

    Sincerely, David and Claudia
