Though company officials initially botched - in the most tragic way - the message to the world that twelve miners had been found dead in the Sago Mine on Monday, one of those trapped and among the casualties, mine foreman Martin Toler, Jr., wanted his loved ones to get his last thoughts right. He left them the following note, crudely scrawled, seemingly in the dark and in his last moments, on a piece of scrap paper:
"Tell all - I see them on the other side."
"It wasn't bad, I just went to sleep."
"I love you." (link)
