    We lost a member.

    For those of you that haven't heard, my wife, Shirley, went to be with her Savior this afternoon. Her death was apparently caused by a massive heart attack.

    Ohh my goodness... i have nothing but great memories with Shirley. I'm soooo sorry.. I can't believe it. Just ask and anything you need bud were here for you.. don't think twice.... Prayers for you from all of us. I'm happy to bring over some frozen meals if it helps when ever your ready for a guest. I'm sure your hands are full right now but please know that the lord never gives us something we can't handle. She was a wonderful person and will smile down on us from a place where she is welcomed with open arms and she's at forever loving peace.
    Four individual systems Right now.
    30gal red sea 130d lps/softies/anemone tank, kalk ato, reef bright led strip.
    40 softies set up.
    550 total gallon marineland 300 DD main system 18 months old now and stabilized. T5 VHO lights/ BLUE led strip, Fully custom built LIFE REEF sump and FUGE, AWESOME 60" tall skimmer, and 1000+ gallon rated custom Ca reactor, 3 50 gallon attached SPS frag systems lite with a combination of HM and LED and T5 fixtures.
    A 200 gallon MARS quarintine with UV system/ medication for new arrivals.

    Still lots to learn about the hobby but I have amassed a great collection of real beauties. I have broken past the stage of keeping things alive and now there actually growing out. Which is a big hurdle for many beginners I must admit. Good information and advise is hard to get sometimes and the club has done wonders with respect to quality advise and help in the hobby.

    THANKS Orlando Reef Educators Organization!!!!

    Thank you to all of you. I know there was a whole lot more "chatter" behind the scenes, I am assuming you didn't want me to see. From me and the family, we greatly appreciated the flowers. For those of you that came to the funeral, thank you very much. It meant a lot to us. Shirley, would also want me to say that if you have any questions about your relationship with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, then ask and I will be more than willing to share Him.

    I am so sorry to hear this David. I just can't believe that she was taken from you and us so fast. She was a great person and will be missed.
    I hope you will be okay and just think she is really watching over you now from above.
