Lost my only son

dogdoc · 10-21-2010, 11:44 AM

Sept 28th 2010 I loss my 19 yr old son unexpectedly. He was in his second yr at U.T. with a bright future ahead. Although its been nearly 4 wks. its a heart ripper. I haven't been on here or riding very little. Not much fun left in life for now. Had to take FMLA for the rest of the yr. Wife had to quit watching daycare kids in our home. I had hernia surgery the same day he passed about the same minute I was waking he was passing! We will love and miss you Colton forever!! R.I.P. Dennis & Idalia Tooley :'(

Dennis, I'd read that and figured out it was your son a while ago!! Buddy I'm so sorry. I'd be lying if I said I had the words for you but I don't... I'm a father with an only son as well. God bless you and your family and especially Colton....

Life will eventually get better. Hang in there!!

**Top Cat** · 10-21-2010, 12:02 PM

Like Brad said Doc, there are no words.
I wondered where you have been.
You will never forget but time will ease the pain. Hang in there.

oldbikers · 10-21-2010, 12:30 PM

Doc our prayers are with you and your family so sorry to hear about your son.

**Cajunrider** · 10-21-2010, 01:17 PM

Doc, I can't say anything to heal your pain but I can pray that the Lord will comfort you and your family in this time of grief. I'm so sorry about the loss of your son. God bless you and your family.

**trip** · 10-21-2010, 01:29 PM

Doc, I know that you and I have had our differences in the past, but my heart goes out to you and your family. I pray that comfort and healing will come your way.

**BudMan** · 10-21-2010, 02:20 PM

My deepest sympathies.

waterman · 10-21-2010, 02:26 PM

Doc, my heart goes out to you in this time of need. Don't know what else to say because I don't know how I would react to this if I were in your shoes. Take care.

Netnorske · 10-21-2010, 02:32 PM

Doc,
Words are of little comfort at a time like this....but know that you are not alone in your sorrow. You and your family have our deepest sympathies in this time of unrelenting grief. May God let you find peace in his wisdom as you move forward from this terrible tragedy.

Sin City Stan · 10-21-2010, 02:50 PM

Doc I'm so sorry to hear this. Words cannot express the hurt you must feel. I can only image what it's like and that's all. A person cannot know what this is like unless they go through it themselves.

It's said that time heals all wounds. I hope for you and your wife that the time is short.

Blue Rebel · 10-21-2010, 03:00 PM

Our prayers for you and your wife.

Loafer · 10-21-2010, 03:53 PM

Loved ones live forever, when they are remembered everyday. Sorry for your loss. Gerry

jd01 · 10-21-2010, 04:27 PM

Sorry to hear about this Doc. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

**jmorrow** · 10-21-2010, 04:39 PM

Annette and I send our condolences.

cactusjack · 10-21-2010, 04:42 PM

Dennis,

I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I can't begin to imagine how devastating this must be. My sincere condolences to you and your family during this trying time. Hang in there, buddy.
