Due to the increasing submissions by various poker websites, I sometimes temporarily shut down Wayne's Official Guestbook.  Please feel free to send any comments directly to me at Chefsmiling@ayhoo.com.

Name: Barbara Kinne Date: Wed Nov 2 16:29:22 GMT-12:00 2005 I very much understand your loss. \"If only,,, and I wish\" seems to be the most spoken words to come from the parent of a child that has chosen to die. I hope you find some comfort in knowing that I feel your pain and am truly sorry for your loss. \"It\'s just not supposed to be this way.\"

Name: Cindy Date: Thu Nov 3 08:08:37 GMT-12:00 2005 What a beautiful web site in tribute to your son. I can relate so much to the words you wrote. My daughter committed suicide on 9/4/99, she was 19. So much of what you have written sound just like her through her teen years, also a child from a divorced family. And like Wayne, she had a little sister, but my daughter was nine when her older sister died. My little one had to grow up entirely too fast after that. If you ever would like to talk or express your feelings, please feel free to email me, I feel we have so much in common and I know your feelings so well, although I am a little farther along on this path we must go down. I will me thinking about you this week as you approach your anniversary date.
