Calm Spirits (Fridge's wife) posted on the McAfee trip thread that Fridge's daughter passed away from a drunk driving accident. I thought I would start this thread so that everyone would know.

I can't stop thinking about Fridge, Calm Spirits and the rest of his family. I can only imagine the pain of losing a child. Anyone who knows Fridge knows that he has a huge heart and is always trying to do for other people. I wish I could do something for him and his family now.


I don't post much but wanted you to know, Mike's daughter passed away due to a drunk driver in NY. He is totally washed out and I am heading to meet him tonight. Jenna sweetpea stew i have returned her e mail with more info. I have so many tears I need to go.

I am so grateful that I stop drinking in 1983, I could of easily been the one too. And body who drinks, should consider stopping and promote the safety of being sober at all times, not just while driving.

Flowers
I tried calling Mike today to get some information on the services so we could send flowers but as expected his phone was turned off. If anyone knows more about where we could send some flowers, my wife and really want to send some and I thought if any other TTers were interested we could pool our money and get something bigger. As Fridge is a big part of this community I thought the community might want to send some flowers. eMail me if you're interested. Maybe CalmSpirits or someone else will check in and give us an address.

Wow, I heard about this while out hiking this weekend. I am blown away. Fridge and CalmSpirits my heart goes out to you both. It's one of the hardest things a parent has to deal with. You both are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dub - Count me in on the flowers. Let me know what you find out!

Dub thanks for organizing this. My guess is you'll get more than enough for flowers.

Does anybody know if Fridge or his daughter had a favorite charity or cause? Maybe we can raise a donation her name.

Edit: I am assuming she didn't have any kids. If she did, then maybe a little fund for them.
