OT - Friday was a Sad Day
I haven't posted this before, because I wasn't sure exactly *how* to...
But, here goes: On Friday, at 3:58pm (central time), a 17-year-old girl by the name of Maggie Danielle Compton met a tragic end in a horrific automobile accident. I knew Maggie. She is the daughter of DH's SIL's sister (DH's brother's wife's sister's daughter, DH's neice's cousin on their mother's side... can I confuse you more?). The accident was apparently her fault, as she pulled out in front of a large pickup (think F350) that was hauling a large trailer (a 5th wheel that contained a race car, the people were from Henderson KY and bringing it up to Bloomington IN for sprint-car races). Her car caught fire and she died of smoke inhalation and 3rd degree burns. Several witnesses (including the driver of the pickup) to the accident attempted to put out the flames and get her out of the vehicle, but they couldn't. She was alone in the car, heading to a hair appointment to have her hair done nicely for her friend's graduation ceremony later that eening. Passengers in the pickup only suffered minor injuries, and are totally devasted over her death. Earlier today, DH & I attended her funeral. It was held at her family's church, and there was no seats left when we arrived. The service was nice, and what I thought was a pale-grey woodgrained casket, was actually white, and all her friends from school had written their good-byes to her on it. I thought that was a nice touch, and maybe, 2,000 years from now some archeologist will see all that and know how loved she was. I didn't know her very well, but still..... -- The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington!

How tragic! Purrs for all who miss her, and for the people in the pickup.
