Truly terrible news

Most IIS folk would be familiar with Ian Musgrave's highly useful 'Astroblogger' web site, normally updated at least weekly:

http://astroblogger.blogspot.com.au/

Because it hadn't been updated for a while, I contacted Ian.

"Dear Dean

My eldest son Jack died suddenly and unexpectedly in Melbourne. I have not updated anything while dealing with this terrible event.

Ian".


I don't think I'm intruding on the family's grief or privacy in posting this message, given a public announcement:

http://tributes.theage.com.au/obitua...&pid=182665727

No doubt others on IIS will want to offer condolences.

Truly tragic.

Dean

Passed my condolences on to him on the book of faces last week.

I can't even begin to imagine what Ian and his family are going through. No parent should ever have to bury their child.
