Is a girlfriend really worth losing all that you have? Wow. Poor guy, either way. It sucks that some people take things harder than others... And take it hard enough to take their own lives...

I'm sorry to hear about the loss man. It's whorrible when people leave us with such talent. Hopefully he is in a better place today.
