A dear friend of mine from highschool sent a message that her husband died on Saturday. He was struck by lightening while walking up the front walk into the house. He had just picked up their daughter and she was already in the house. They heard a loud thunder clap and when he did not come in they went to check on him. 911 was called but it was too late. When I hear about these things I hear the words of my Rabbi, "Only G-d knows how many days we have on this earth". Barry certainly made the most of them.

What a terrible thing! Pass on my sympathy and prayers for the peace and well-being of his family.
My LQS has been affected by a freak accident. The owner's husband was run over by a lawnmower and killed. I'm grateful that the shop will continue to stay open, my heart goes out to that poor family.

Hugs to all who knew and loved Barry. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on your point of view) I am of the opinion, when it's time to go, it's time to go. Therefore I live and love without restriction.
