Jessi was a good friend, she promoted quite a few of our fundraisers at events and on her podcasts. I know her dad and brother well too. Worst story ever.

I was at a local pub at the meat raffle on Saturday when the news came to the bar. Ive never seen 40+ adults spontaneously and hopelessly cry before.
Now Im in San Fran for work and its national news and was silently on ESPN in the hotel lobby and I lost my shit again.
Dont have much to say other than hug your kids hard. Fire marshal report wont be out for a while but maybe change the batteries in your smoke detectors too.

Peace and comfort to you, her family and friends, and the other 39+ people who mourned her loss at the pub.

Be kind to yourself as you deal with this.

(2,087 posts)Just lost his wife and his 3 children. His entire world wiped out. I lost a son and I never recovered (and never will), this man lost all of his kids as well as his wife!
Also for all who loved her, like you OldBoss, and sounds like many many others.
I dont understand this world.
