A thank you would have sufficed, especially in light of simple sympathy/empathy.
You just never know what fellow FReepers can speak to in light of our own lives and families’ lives.
I, for one, have a suicide in my family, for example, within the last 18 months. Active duty, too. Tragic. Infuriating. Affected many.
My apologies for having offended you. It was not intended, nor was any condescension. Truly.
My condolences to you, sincerely. I lost a close friend to suicide many years ago. His death haunts me still.
