This note is heartbreaking and comforting all at the same time. What a blessing for these families to know for sure that their loved ones didn't suffer.
This letter released by the Toler family on Thursday Jan. 5, 2006 in Flatwoods, W. Va was written by Martin Toler Jr., who died with 11 other miners in the Sago mine. The note was given to Martin's brother, Tom Toler, by the coroner. It reads 'Tell all I see them on the other side JR I love you It wasn't bad just went to sleep.'
The survivor has a hard row to hoe. The extent of his brain damage isn't known yet. Hopefully he'll be able to fully participate in our pop and consumer culture, because if you can't enjoy watching "Lost" your life isn't worth living.
