9 months today and it feels as bad today as it did on 9/12. Everyone is so sad & everyone misses Jacob so so much. It is still so very hard to believe that this has happened and that he really is gone from our lives. Until we meet again, Jacob know how much you are missed & loved by so many.

Even though it has been 9 months since you left I haven"t missed a day without loving you and missing you so dearly. I am so lost without you and I don't seem to be able to get very far in my life with out you there to make everything better. I have always loved you and will never stop. You are always in my heart. Your loving wife forever

These responses are a microcosm of what is wrong with how the masses view death, religion, and responsibility.

Why because this man dies should we feel sorry for him OR his family? What is wrong with judging such a person who appears to have shown complete neglect toward his responsibilities of keeping many people safe?

Its obvious that a lot of you probably feel empathy because of your own fears of being judged for your shortcomings, and the thing is, if you don't want to be judged with such prejudice then don't do anything as selfish and ignorant as this idiot.

And as for those who compared this dead man with drunk drivers who kill others, you are spot on. There is no difference other then the fact that fools believe doing insane things while driving sober is safe only because so many people do it and you can't spend time in jail for texting/putting on makeup etc. Frankly its just as dangerous as DUI and if you do this kind of stuff you deserve jail time.

And lets keep God out of this. God is an aspect of your mind that you don't know exists, if God can judge and you can't with your innate reasoning than you are not human.

Jacob Hefter was and I believe is a wonderful individual. There is no understanding something like this this side of heaven. The thought occurs to me that God wanted a really good one back. He had a wonderful warm presence that was charming and calming. He lit up the office when he was there. He was the love focus of the family and very unassuming.

There is a place where dreamers go way beyond the blue sky the angel never ask why there is a place where dreamers go. You wanted to be free to be all you could be and evenmore therefore you ask to soar on eagles wings we go and I carried you to heaven's door. You smiled and said thank you as you let my hand go. Fly fly fly high and I said good-bye you know they will ask why you had to die, I just sighed oh my don't you know Spree's legs are like a bird wings worth more to her than a beautiful day in spring or a wedding ring, thus when she heard the angel's sing she chose to spread her wings and fly high and say thanks for everything good-bye. Love you she likes being free thats why her name is Spree you see!

As the Time went by we all loved you, we all still do. you wher the Sun in the sky. with out you we could have not made it. Ron Grace, Thank you for all the hard work you did. i am so happy to know that you got to know you. we all love you and for ever will.

When l typed in Roger`s name on my computer l thought of all the great times we had telling jokes in the pubs around Wimbledon.Retelling jokes,because Roger`s laugh attracted half the pub to our little circle.And the teams that loved to bowl against the 5 crazy young guys who didn`t care if they won or lost, but just laughed.
When Rog went to the World Cup in Mexico (Soccer) with my friend John, and then came back and said he was off to Australia,we thought he was mad.But that was Rog.He wrote to us about his adventures,which were many,but when the letter arrived to say he was married,and living in the U.S. we just smiled.Lin and l visited Rog and Liz in LA in 1980,with our children Sarah and Andrew,and had a great time.
Well mate,l think the last laugh is on me!We will have to catch up on old times at a later date.
It was great to see you grew into a man everybody wanted as a friend,there was no doubt.
God Bless You Rog,and your lovely family....Ken and Linda Mills.

why cant we just say we feel the way we feel! Miss. Alongi ? pearl and brandy would defend you. lol

The quest continues. The transcripts of Rob's text messages show someone with a lot of patience and someone who wanted to give something despite breaking company policy for all his own reasons. Safety issues, as well as personal responsibility are at the heart of this accident, but the last few days of one's life should not define his character. I'm sure his friends are hurting and his family as well, along with everyone else who is left behind to deal with the aftermath. In the grief and the anger and the lawsuits, investigations, and days to follow let's remember that he died, too and deserves some respect as much as all the others who parished with him. Many have said kind things about him on this page, others are angry, and I continue to look for a place to display a memorial plaque dedicated to him. Perhaps I am the only one who will do this. Perhaps that time is not yet. If anyone who knows him still follows this page please know my sympathy is with you. Anyone who lost loved ones who reads this my heart goes out to you. May all those who parished be rememberd with kindness and dignity. Shelley, Queen of Bells

We hurt so bad, we lost someone we loved so dearly... It's so easy for people to say don't blame & forgive, but its much easier said than done, the reason this happened & because someone was doing something on the job that he should not have been doing, he not only caused the death's of 24 innocent people he also SHATTERED all of our lives as we have to go on everyday with such sadness that NEVER goes away. We miss our loved ones so much, Sept. 12th is such a sad day. Shelley all I can say to you is you really need to get a life, you are obssesed with this guy... I don't get it, you really need HELP !!!!
