My family and I would like to express our sympathy to the family and friends of Sam Safkin..

Losing any family member is a tragedy, but the loss of a young person seems so unfair and unnatural..

Our prayers go out to all who knew and loved young Mr. Safkin.

Cancer is a terrible thing and takes far too many lives ever year. I can't imagine one family that has not been touched by the disease. I will say a prayer.

Oh no, this hurts the entire 1AA community.

From the Davis area, my thoughts and prayers.

Young men should not leave us like that.

Peace,

Kinda makes the whole b/u punter thing seem kind of ridiculous, doesn't it? :bawling: :bawling:

Too young. Too tragic. At least he's not suffering anymore. At least he's at rest. The Bear nation will pray for the family, friends and all those who's lives he touched who will miss him deeply. Tragic. Just tragic.
