Not gonna lie, seeing this thread again brought a tear to my eye......

I know that what I'm going to say will make you feel uncomfortable, but I'll never forget how kind, supportive and caring you were during that heartbreaking period. There is a series of exchanges between you and Chris I'll never forget, and it chokes me up even now when I think about it. Suddenly, one night I was reading that thread and was able to look past the internet poster and get a glimpse of the real you. I always liked you, but that changed things for me. Ever since then, I've held you in very high regard. I respect you...

Chris' widow sent me an email tonight and I thought I would share it with the board.....

Hi Russ
My name is Wendy Moore. I am the wife of the late Chris Moore aka JimmyMac.
I was going through some files and found the messages that were transcribed from the message board following Chris’ death. I believe you were responsible for that kind gesture as your name and email were in the cover letter.
I apologize for never reaching out before to thank you and the rest of the Bear’s fans from the board for your kind words and prayers. My children and I have read them repeatedly over the years, the kind messages always bring tears to my eyes to know that he was loved by so many.
I just wanted to thank you for that. It means so much.
God Bless
Wendy Moore

I agree. I never met Chris in person, but I think I knew him pretty well. His passing, and the events leading up to it changed me. I try and look at each day as a blessing, and I take nothing for granted anymore.

Yeah, I was kinda shocked when I opened Wendy's email....came at me out of left field!

But I knew everyone of the regulars would appreciate seeing the message.

Your welcome, Bill.
