R.I.P. Boon
I am writing on behalf of x419xBiG_sMoKe69 and our family.
I never knew Fred, but from all the posts I can tell he was a good friend and loving person. I prayed alot for him hoping he could fight this battle with such a horrible disease. I myself am so deeply affected by this, as I lost my mother in 1996 due to cancer.
I am amazed at how people get so close to a person when it is only on a game console. Even though you never meet them, they do become your best friends. This poem helped me when my mom passed away, and I'm passing it on to all of you.
In tears we saw you sinking,
We watched you fade away
You suffered much in silence
You fought so hard to stay.
You faced your task with courage,
Your spirit did not bend,
But still you kept on fighting
Until the very end.
God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be,
So he put His arms around you,
And whispered, "Come to Me".
So when we saw you sleeping
So peaceful, free from pain,
We could not wish you back,
To suffer that again.
You didn't deserve what you went through,
So he took you home to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
For he only takes the best.
We also send our condolences to his wife and boys. Stay strong, remember he's in a better place and he's not suffering anymore. Don't think of him as gone, because he is still in your hearts.
