Condolences are always so inadequate, but I sincerely send them to your entire family.

Carafello Sat, 14 Jun 2008 14:27:23 +0000 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/ethicalesq/2008/06/09/the-sad-sky-diving-suicide-of-a-yo#comment-181808 Thank you so very much for your insight into our son's death. I found Sloan a year ago after searching for three years. He said he wasn't ready to come home yet, even to visit our close knit family. Sloan said he just wanted to be alone. Then he changed addresses and workplaces. One consolation is his strong faith in God. Another consolation is the hundreds of lives he touched . His last words to me were, "Dad, there is so much evil in this world." Thank you again. Sloan's Dad Thank you so very much for your insight into our son’s death.

If he was determined to do so, I wish he had done it in a way that did not traumatized so many others... I still see him steping out of that plane... as I close my eyes I wish Sloan had not decided to kill himself.

If there were an estrangement, it could very much increase the family's sense of loss and lost opportunity. <strong><em>Update</strong></em> (June 10, 2007): As I added in the body of this post, according to today’s <em><a href="http://www.timesunion.com/AspStories/story.asp?storyID=694928&category=REGION&newsdate=6/10/2008" rel="nofollow">Albany Times Union</a></em>: Ryan Carafello, Carafello’s twin "said his family had always loved Carafello and opened their arms to him, but his brother chose to be a loner."

They are a caring and loving family. If they were estranged, it was probably due to things beyond their control. I know the Carafello family, went to school and lived with his older brother.
