A member of this board recently lost his friend of 20 years in a tragic accident on Molasses Reef. I wish to express to him and to her two children, whom are also divers, my deepest heartfelt sympathy.

I know you are struggling to make sense of this, I have no answers myself but as I told you before, I am here if you should wish to talk.
