Comment by Lee Huff on May 5, 2009 at 1:33am - My sympathies, Rob. I agree that the "sweet" remark was out of line. He should have borne in mind that someone just lost a loved one. On a side note, I'm with the Lawrenceville VFD in Hancock County, West Virginia- at the very northern tip of the state.

yeah, i can tell you from my experience the best way to deal with a fatality is prayer and to talk to somebody, ANYBODY, but don't bundle it all up or it will come back to bite you!
