[QUOTE]Originally posted by smitty195: [QB] It is with a very, very heavy heart that I have to let you guys know that Mike Smith is no longer with us. I have no details----absolutely NOTHING. I would imagine that someone out there might get details before I do, and it would be great if you could post it. I do not know the cause. I do not know the location. I can not answer anyone's questions-----I'm sorry---but all I can say at this moment is that he passed. I don't know how this is possible, but another good friend passed away at 3AM this morning. Two friends in one day, I don't understand why this keeps happening. (In case some don't know, I lost 11 friends in 2015; two to suicides from PTSD that was never diagnosed properly). I am also experiencing PTSD but for much different reasons. Images that should have haunted me back when they happened did not haunt me at all. I just wrote the report, took the measurements, took the photos of the human or infant pieces everywhere and never allowed it to get to me. But one day a few months ago I started having panic attacks, and I DO NOT PANIC. At least, up until then I hadn't. The doc says I 'compartmentalized" things, and now they're finally starting to come out. Whatever. All I know is stuff that never bothered me is bothering me now. It's the kids...oh the kids.....I can't get them out of my head. I'm slowly realizing that I saw things that a human being should never really have to see But someone's got investigate it, and I picked that job. I'm so glad i'm out now. It was fun while it lasted, but no more. Sorry, this is NOT supposed to be about me. It's about Mike. When I learn more information, I will certainly post it. I don't know the cause or anything. All I know is what his son texted me. I'm waiting to hear back more but I think they're probably asleep by now. I am sorry to be the one to pass along this news. And actually, wait a minute, I'm sorry. My head is not in the right place right now with two friends who have passed within 12 hours of each other. Mike's son did indeed text that he died Sunday morning, and that the viewing was today (Sunday). The funeral is tomorrow (Monday, April 11th). Now that I see this, I know I can't go. not last second like this. If anyone here CAN go on such short noticed, let me know and I'll get the address for you. RIP, Mike......so shocked right now.
