My friend Eric was swimming in a lake yesterday in Missouri and apparently got tired and no one was able to rescue him..

it was just supposed to be a fun road trip...

found it on the web..

everyone here is taking it pretty hard..

:(
 
yeah, sorry to hear that. stuff like that really sucks.
we have problems like that in our town too. we have a lake that doesn't look very far across, until you get halfway. we just lost a kid last summer, he was swimming across, got halfway, had an asthma attack, slipped under, and nobody could save him. he was an old neighbor of mine.

sorry about your loss, i hope you can make it though the tough times, you've got plenty of friends here to talk to!

Thanks everyone. It's good to know that everyone cares. I swear TB is like a second family. Not even my mom said "Sorry" and my step-dad just said "that stinks".

I Love You Guys...

but yeah.. apparently since i was the first to know.. of course i had to tell different people... and they told people.. and so many people know... and you have to be here to experience it, or ahve been in a similar situation.. but there is such an outpouring of love from the community... it's hitting everyone hard though... its still extremely tough... but everyone's getting lots of support from people around here...

there is going to be atleast 200 people at the funeral.. whenever that is..
