Here kitty, kitty, kitty
I learned yesterday that one of my cousins has died while filming a movie in Switzerland called Human Flight 3D. Eli Thompson was a member of the Red Bull Air Force as a skydiver and freeflighter. You have probably seen Eli in commercials as he was the skydiver in the Mountain Dew commercials. He also worked in Hollywood as a stunt man as well as a studio light technician. Eli was 36 years old, married with two little girls and his wife is expecting a baby boy within the next three weeks. This young man was very accomplished and you can see all of what he has accomplished at http://www.flyboyz.tv/Team/Eli_Thompson.htm We will all miss him. RIP Eli.
36 is just way too soon. When my mother passed away and left behind myself and my younger brothers at 20, 10, and 9, we eventually found comfort and joy again in the memories shared by our aunts, uncles, and cousins at family gatherings. You are all in my thoughts today, and if you think there's anything I can do for you, just let me know.
