    My friend samantha fell asleep at the wheel friday night and crashed into a tree, killing her instantly. why does it seem like people who have so much going for them pass away so early?

    this will be my 6th funeral so far (i'm not even 19 yet).. and 4 of them were under 21.

    it's so sad.. i still am having a hard time gripping it.

    i encourage everyone to show love to their family and friends this holiday season. tell them you love them, make sure they know how you feel.

    one of samantha's favorite quotes was
    "dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today"

    i wonder what she was dreaming about when she crashed

    and no one knows when their today is, so don't let it pass by without telling them how you feel...


    Samantha, Rest In Peace with the angels, in anticipation for the day when we shall meet again in glory.

    I'm very sorry to hear that! It's a merciful thing that she probably did not suffer, though. My prayers are with you and her family. I am always reminded to savor every day, and life it the best I can, although I don't always do that.

    Thoughts and prayers to her...her family and freinds. I just recently had a loss as well. I completely know what you mean about the fairness. He was my first police chief...still call him my chief...anyways. He retired as a county deputy after 22 years, 10 years at a local township cop and then 10 years at the department I'm currently working at. this was the ultimate family oriented man. The kind of cop that would give stranded people not only a ride to somwhere...but if they didn't have somewhere to go, they came home to his families home. One time on Thanksgiving! He also would bring poor underprivilaged kids from the local home to his for Christmas to spend with his kids. Anyways.... Six months after retirement on the way to Alaska in his motor home, he and his wife had to turn back. Seems he was having heart problems. From there on out it was a downhill battle with heart and ultimatley cancer problems. After five agonizing years he finally surrendered last week. After all that time dedicated to humanity...he never had a chance to relax, rest. No fairness indeed. Whatever your religous convictions are...maybe they are both in a better place doing even greater things.

    This post is in poor taste, man. Just send your condolences to the friend who has suffered a loss. No preaching is required.

    thanks for the love everyone.

    today at church was hard. i didn't get to talk to her parents much, but her sister was a wreck.

    i found out that sam was driving home from church when it happened.. less than a mile from her house.

    it's really difficuly to accept. especially since it is my second funeral for a friend in under 2 weeks.

    I hope you and her friends and family are able to get through this. I fell lucky because no one close to me has died.

    Keep your chin up clay. "The sun always comes up tomorrow" as my old man always says to me. Sorry to hear about your loss. When you do remember her, just make sure you smile.
