All-Star Please Pray For Omar

[Senior5Allie]

Already in tears before I got to this part, but this did me in. I think people have no idea how much this means until it means something to them. Right now this means more to me than I can put into words on a message board. Thank you, Omar. Your gift of life is something that will change so many lives.

people like Omar are why I am alive today! True angel!

For those who may not understand just how many prayers Omar's gift answered... this can help summarize it for you. God bless you Omar, rest well.

Saying this brought tears to my eyes would be an understatement. Im bawling right now, thank you for sharing this.

I was trying to get a grasp on our international shipping before I posted the tees on here but our only courier at the moment is Fedex and their rates for shipping look a bit scary...Im going to work on it but I cant promise it right now.

Thank you for even taking it into consideration..I am sure I can work around it and maybe have it sent to a friend over there then pay for them to ship it over. Is there a deadline for the shirts (I read that the proceeds should be donated by Friday or is that just for actual donations?)

A Bow for Omar has been designed and is in production. I will have it posted on Thursday on Facebook and Fierce Board. They will be $15 each and shipping is $2.50. They will be made available to the team first so that they can wear them to his services and to practice. Email me at [email protected] to get on the list. I will send out paypal invoices and once I have a photo I will put it on my website. If you do not have paypal let me know and I can send a credit card authorization form to you. Several South Florida High School cheer squads have already asked to wear them in his memory. ​

That would be so thoughtful of you! Won't you have a huge shipping bill though to Belfast?

lucyemma I think they said if 5 of them ordered it worked out as £30 each but will check once I know how many they are getting

I'm completely speechless. What a tragedy. I'm praying for the friends and families of these young men. Peace comes with time. I can picture these two tumbling from cloud to cloud and having a blast together. It's not "goodbye", it's "goodbye for now". Stay strong.

saw this on twitter; all tshirt proceeds go to families who have lost their loved ones.

Oh my goodness...I just looked at it and it brought tears to my eyes. I hope my CP has one of them as her guardian angel when she cheers. It would be an honor.

From Kristen Rosario (and written to all Top Gun Parents & Athletes)

My Dearest Omar,
I woke up yesterday with anger & pain in my heart. I couldn’t seem to figure out how I was going to find the strength to explain to your fellow teammates & Top Gun family something that even I couldn’t understand. I didn’t know how I could possibly face your parents & tell them anything that would even remotely comfort them. So I set off to the hospital hoping that somehow, someway, I would be able to get through what was about to be one of the hardest days of my life.
Then, when I arrived, I spoke to your sister & she updated me on the severity of your condition. I felt like the very air had been sucked out of my lungs & that the earth stood still. I was lost. I kept asking myself how I was going to be the leader that the gym needed me to be when I couldn’t even stand up straight & pull myself together... and then, it happened…
Your mother, (what an amazingly strong woman) came to me at what must have been the worst moment of her life, and asked me if I would be gracious enough to give her your Top Gun uniform so that you could be buried in the clothing of the place that you were most happy. At that moment my words failed me, I couldn’t react, I couldn’t breathe, I could only cry. To think, that I helped start something 19 years ago that could mean so much to you and in return that meant so much to them. Then, she proceeded to tell me that she’s never seen such an amazing display of love & affection from a group of people as she did from our program in the past 2 days.
Now, as if that was not enough, your father approached me next & shared with me how you had chosen to be a donor because wanted to save as many lives as possible from your one.
It was at that moment that you gave me the strength I needed to continue pushing forward. I realized how blessed I am for doing what I do & for being able to have shared in yours & so many other lives.
Thank you for teaching your teacher!
Rest in peace my angel,
Coach K
Dear Top Gun Family,
As I am faced with what has probably been one of the most heart-wrenching weeks of my life, I am reaching out to ask anyone that has been touched by Omar & his life to please help his family at their time of need. Currently, it is going to cost an unexpected $10,000 for his services, so his family will be grateful with any help we can offer. We will be collecting all donations from today till Friday when his viewing will take place at the Funeraria Memorial, 9800 Coral Way, & then followed by his final services at 6200 SW 77th Ave. We will be sending out more information with times as soon as it is available to us.
Thank you for all your prayers as they were answered for those lives whom Omar has saved.

I am also in the process of putting a Tee on our proshop in which all proceeds will go to the families of Carlos and Omar as well.

Aaaaaannndd, there goes my water works. This was beautifully written, and broke my heart at the same time. =[

I would like to order a tee, but I noticed the FedEx shipping deal...which is half the cost of the shirt itself. I would like a shirt, but would prefer if I'm going to spend $37, more of it go to Omar's family. Anybody know if there are other shipping options?

This thread kills me to read it. I've sat here bawling and my heart just breaks for these young men and their families.

This past October, my friend group went through a similar situation. A close friend of ours was killed instantly in a motorcycle crash. It was my best friend's ex-boyfriend and old neighbor, and he was like a dad to me. We had a fall out a few months before that and we hadn't spoken much. When my mom woke me up to tell me the news, I was paralyzed with the sadness that had overcome me. I couldn't move and all I could do was sit there and cry. I called a few of my friends in that group to let them know and they all came over to my house and we all cried together. His funeral, was the most difficult thing I have ever sat through. All I could do was cry and it hurt me so badly to know that some of our last moments together weren't pleasant. I felt like I had so much to say to someone I could never say it too. I was lost, and we were all broken. To help pay for funeral costs, they did donations and sold bracelets that said "Rainey Evans" on one side, and "Rest in Paradise" on the other. It also had the dates for the day he was born, and the day he passed on the inside. As awful as the situation was, it brought us all together. Which is was he would have wanted.

My heart breaks for you Top Gun, family, and friends of these young men. I hope that nobody ever has to go through something like this. You're all in my thoughts and prayers.
