Another legendary Aussie passes away tragically

Nine-times Bathurst 1000 winner and Australian motor racing legend Peter Brock has been killed while competing in the Targa West Tarmac Rally in Western Australia.
Brock was partnered by Mick Hone in the race and they were competing in a Daytona Coupe.
Hone has been taken to hospital in a stable condition.
The West Australian Police Major Crash Squad has confirmed the car collided with a tree after going off a road near Gidgegannup, in Perth's north-east.
The Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) said the accident occurred at approximately 11:50am (WST).
CAMS will conduct a full investigation into the incident and at the moment event officials are working with relevant civil authorities.
The Targa West Rally began in Perth yesterday and takes place over four days and is divided into two categories - competition and challenge.
His co-driver Mick Hone was injured but conscious as they rushed him to hospital
Hone's son, Justin said Peter's death has come as a shock.
"To hear my father is okay, you feel good for that but so awful for Peter and his family," he said.
Prime Minister John Howard said Peter would be remembered as a legend.
"I was shocked and saddened to hear of Peter Brock's death," Mr Howard said.
"The removal of Brockie takes away a legend of motor racing in Australia."
Opposition Leader Kim Beazley said Brock was an example off the track to aspiring race car drivers.
"Peter Brock's commitment to road safety has also had a significant influence on all Australians," he said.
Brock was born in Melbourne in 1945 and dominated Australian motor sport for the past three decades.
His great-great-uncle, Henry James, was a founder of the RACV and organised Australia's first motor sport event - the 1905 Sydney to Melbourne reliability trial.
In 1969, the manager of the newly formed Holden Dealer Team, Harry Firth, gave Brock his break with an offer to drive at Bathurst in a Monaro GTS 350.
Brock won his first Bathurst title in 1972 driving solo in a Torana XU1.
He was nicknamed "Peter Perfect" and later became known as the "King of the Mountain" after his success in the endurance races at Bathurst.
In 1997, Brock retired from full-time V8 Supercars racing and launched the Peter Brock Foundation, which provides support to a wide range of community programs.
Last year, Brock separated from his wife Beverly after 28 years of marriage but they remained close friends.
The 61-year-old is survived but his three children - Jamie, Robert and Alexandria.

Such a tragedy. 2 of Australia's legends have passed away tragically in the last four days. All I can think is "Who's going to be next?" Brockie, you'll always be King of the Mountain. RIP 05

Eduardo Gori Guerrero Llanes
(1967-2005)

I don't know about other people's opinion on Wrestling some don't like it say it's all fake but that's there opinions Myself I know it's not completly fake it's entertaining to say the least one man I grew up and Looked up to in this business is this man Eduardo Gorie Guerrero Llanes or better Known as
Eddie Guerrero "Latino Heat"


On November 13, 2005 A sad Day In Wrestling that will never be forgotten Eddie Guerrero was found Dead in his hotel room, The Autotopsy Report has reported on Monday November 14, 2005 That Eddie Guerrero Passed away due to Heart Failure he also had a bit of a heart disease that came from all his drinking and drug abuse before. So This right here proves to anyone that wants to do drugs to get a little high or whatever no matter how much pleasure you get from it, you will pay the price at the end just remember that before you pop a pill or whatever drug you may be doing, it only shortens your life.

His Career has Surpassed so many Trials and Tribulations a normal man would just give up, he's gone thru Drug abuse and Drinking to much, as of November 15th this year he would have reached his 4th year of being sober from both drugs and Drinking He's acomplished alot in his wrestling career He's held Tag Team Gold Three times, Once with his own Nephew Chavo Guerrero, and Once with Tajiri, and One with one of his good buddies Rey Mysterio Jr. and on Febuary 15, 2004 He reached his all time Wrestling goal as The WWE Heavyweight Champion by Defeating Brock Lesner at No Way Out, and To make things much better He's now Wrestling Main events For the big man upstairs yes He has become a Born again Christian Thank the lord that his heart was reached before his time on this earth was over.

My heart and Prayers Go out to his Family, His Wife, and Three daughters I know to well how it is to lose a loved one so close like a father is to his daughter or son and I can tell you The First year without him will be there hardest to go thru, the first christmas without him, the first birthday without him and so on, I pray they can get thru this tough time, I feel for Eddie Guerrero as I feel for my own Family :( it was real painfull to hear that he died, When I was told this I was thinking this better be One Sick joke I didn't want to believe he died even after I saw it on wwe.com I still couldn't believe it, even tho the proof was right in my face I didn't want to believe it.

I'm sorry I can't say much more so i'm ending this right here and right now

EDDIE I Know your reading this from above Thank you for all you gave us, Latino Heat shall burn on in all our hearts We love you we will never forget you

I have to motivate myself

It's been nearly 4 months since Mum passed away. I've done all I can to fix up her affairs, all that I can think of anyway. The only thing I can't bring myself to finish is writing all the thank you cards out for the people that came to her funeral. I've done about half of them, but I just can't bring myself to complete them. It's like the final step, and I really can't face doing it. My dad and I had decided not to send out cards, but, with Italian families, there's the whole "doing the right thing" business. My mum's side of the family, well mainly her sisters, are saying that we have to do it, because it's the done thing. Yeah right, we really can afford to spend over $400 on these thank you cards. Theyre little cards, with the picture of the deceased on the front, a prayer inside, and their name, birthdate, date of death, and where they were born etc. I've counted up the amount of cards I would have had to send out, and it tops 100. So we decided not to do it, and to just get a generic thank you note. Found some really nice ones too. And for $3.95 a pack of 25, cheaper than the alternative. We're not cheapskates, just on the pension its hard. Basically, I think my aunties, well one of them in particular, wants these cards sent out because a lot of HER friends came to Mum's funeral, and it'll make HER look better to these snobby Italians if we did it. Well fuck that. I'm not going to do that just so she can look good in front of her friends. So half of those people have been cut off the mailing list. And if she says anything about it, I'll tell her to go to hell. None of them have even had the decency to come over to see how we're coping, not even a phone call, but we're expected to call THEM. Well, I'm sorry, but she was OUR mother, and wife. But, I could go on forever about my mum's side of the family. Thank god Dad's side is decent!
So anyway, I'm really gonna have to get started on the rest, even though I don't want to do it. Maybe I just dont want closure yet, I dunno. But I really can't let it go on any longer. Argh!!!

Thank You

Just like to say thank you to everyone for their condolences and their kind words over the last few days. We buried Mum today, and it was the most beautiful ceremony ever. The gods shined today, it was a perfect sunny warm day in the midst of winter, a rare occasion. I think my sisters and I did Mum proud. We held it together so well. So, again, I'd like to say thank you. I really appreciate all the kind words and thoughts. I know a lot of you don't know how to express your sympathies at a time like this, and I do understand that. The respect I have seen over the last few days has been overwhelming. I really do know who my friends are on here. I love you guys. :)

RIP Antonia 17/11/1943 - 22/6/2005

I don't really know how to put this, but today my mother passed away. Finally after 10 years of pain, she is at peace. Mum, I love you and I don't know how I'm going to live without you. You've been my whole world. I don't know how I'm going to cope. I miss you so much already. I wish I could have said goodbye. I wish I didn't yell at you today. If I could only bring you back, just to say sorry, and that I love you.

Mama, tui sei mio cuore. Riposa In Pace.
