My thoughts are with you at this terrible time. While I have only known you from this web group our common passion for all things Porsche binds us as friends. I have two wonderful children of my own and yet I am sure that I can't even begin to imagine what you must be going through. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Adrian & Family,
I have been reading all these messages of condolence, and I really don't know what I could possibly add that would make any difference to what you must be feeling and thinking.
I have no children of my own, although I do have a 17-year-old niece, and I cannot imagine what it would be like to lose her.
Suffice to say (well, on second thought, no words at all could possibly suffice), that you and your family are in our thoughts every time we login to this board, or any other Porsche-related site, or even look at, touch, sit in, or drive our cars. Your selfless behaviour in helping all of us on this board has proven what a friend you can be; now it is time for us to all step up and return the countless favours.
Best to remember the good and not dwell on the sad - think of the milestones you shared with your beloved daughter/sister, of the times she made you smile and laugh, of all the nice things she did for you, of all the joy she brought to your lives.
At times like this, I find great solace in music. Do you have a copy of The Band performing Bob Dylan's "Forever Young"? It really helps...that and the Blues. On reflection, a sunny Australian garden sounds like a very nice place...
Again, Adrian, we've never met, but we share several passions (cars and airplanes), and so I believe it when I say that you will eventually heal and move on with your own life (and those of your other family members).
I feel so helpless writing this from thousands of miles away...
Please accept my sincerest condolences on your most tragic loss.

Adrian,
But for the grace of god we would all be where you are today. I have two young children and cannot imagine your pain. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I hope that over time your pain is replaced by the knowledge that our children are only lent to us and we need to savor their joy and put the sorrows behind us.
Best wishes always.

Adrian,
This is shocking news. My deepest sympathy goes to you and your family. Words can hardly express what you must be going through. I have no children myself, but I may be able to imagine what this must do to you...

Having met Adrian, Gail & his family in their village in Switzerland I can only say that this is a tragic situation for this great family to have to endure.
Adrian, please tell Gail, Stephanie and Jeremy that we have all of you in our prayers always. Carlos sends his condolences as well.

Dear Adrian and Family,
My sincere sympathy to you and your Family for this tragic loss. I've lost my father not too long ago, but your pain must be even grater than what I've suffered.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Giorgio.
