Ryan O'byrne's Mother Passes Away

[chrisjamessauve]

Just saw it on Eric Engels' twitter. She passed away. She had breast cancer. Very sad. I feel awful for Ryan O'Byrne and his family. It's never easy to lose a family member. If Ryan ever reads this, my condolences. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Wow. It says she died on January 28. He played last night, and very well I might add. It takes a lot of courage and heart to step up at such a tough time!

You actually felt the need to post this? I hate when people greive for celebrities and for people whom none of us even knew the names of until the incident.

Let them grieve in peace and solidarity, this is not news.

Was that post necessary? Are you a mod? Do you have to post in every single thread here? No.

He's part of our team, why shouldn't we be able to express our condolences?

Yeah not a great post from Moneypuck. I agree with you for the most part, but if you see the thread, just ignore it.

My condolences, and hope Ryan keeps up the good work

While we certainly have nothing but sympathy for Ryan O'Byrne and his family, we also don't want to turn this time of grief into another sordid 'news item.' Therefore, we ask that you express your condolences in the existing O'Byrne thread.
