SOTW Friends,

I hope it's okay to post this link. My niece's death was brutal beyond words. Happily, our large family is pulling together beautifully and seeing what we can do to help the twins both short and long term.

The web site will speak for itself.

Man thats rough. I just don't have words to do my feelings for you and your family justice.

Roger, you have been a great help to me personally, and I love to read your posts because of your great insight. I can only send my condolences and hope that you find comfort in them. Stay strong.

It beggars belief.

I have donated. The equivalent of a couple of packs of reeds when multiplied by hundreds can make a big difference to these twins.

I cannot begin to understand how you must feel. It makes talk about saxophones seem very trivial.

 

[Canadiain]

Words fail me. You and your family are in my thoughts at this awful time. I cant begin to comprehend what you must all be going through.

I feel so helpless confronted with something like this, I hope everyone donates, even small amounts will add up, and its a gesture of solidarity I hope.

God Bless

Roger, my heart, soul and prayers go out to you and your family. Such a tragedy should not have to be borne by adults, never mind children.

Be strong.

Horrible beyond words, Roger. My heartfelt condolences to you and your family at this most difficult of times.

This is so sad. I wish the best for you and your family in this time of loss. Such tragedy is so difficult and senseless. I am so glad to see that you are pulling together to do the best for these beautiful girls. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.

 

[Kritavi]

A really tragic event. My heart goes out to you and your family.

 

[Roger Aldridge]

Thank you everyone! All of your messages are greatly appreciated.

Martinman, it's clear to all of us in the family that Sean carefully planned everything he did. He received the divorce papers just two days before. He took the twins to his relatives that afternoon and told them he had to work. He must have gotten the gasoline and perhaps the baseball bat (he used to kill her) days before. I don't recall Sean as being a baseball fan or player. He poured gas all through the townhouse before setting the fire. The townhouse burned down amazingly fast. By the time we arrived there Thursday night only a part of the brick front wall remained standing. The rest was total rubble. It reminded me of pictures of London during WWII. The local and surrounding fire departments performed a heroic job in dealing with the fire and keeping it from spreading to the other townhouses.

Thanks once again!

Roger

Can't possibly put into words how I felt reading that article, and trying to absorb in my head, the loss you all are feeling right now.

I know everyone here feels the same way, so maybe on top of prayers....
everyone reading this thread could help raise some money for the caretakers. Theyre going to need it, I'm sure.

Since we are all "family"...LETS STEP IT UP HERE!!!

Can everyone here afford to give $20???

This isnt alot to ask, and if we can all give, I'm sure it will be greatly appreciated, and could add up to a substantial amount.

I'd like to give much more, so Roger, please tell me where I can send money to help out.

Sincerely, Mark
