Her Funeral Was Today ....*edited*......

She would of Turned 21 this coming friday....
How very sad to see another family shattered by the death of their child.. The sobs are just heart wrenching, the slide show of yet another beautiful life cut short devastating...........

So in the past 4 years since I lost Wyatt
I have been to 7 funerals... 8 counting Wyatt's

while I was pregnant with Tegan and Taylor
Funeral for a friend a old neighbor, Valerie
she was early 40s had 3 boys one of which severely disabled
she died of skin cancer..

Then we lost Tegan and Taylor...

Then a good childhood friend of Randy's
Only son Chris 19 yrs old Died in a motorcycle accident

Then My ex brother in law lost his youngest daughter 12 years old
died with 2 of her friends (sisters) who were spending the night at her house
they slept out in the camper were burning a candle
fell asleep
candle caught the curtain on fire burned all the oxygen out of the air
then went out .....The girls died from carbon monoxide poisoning
While at that funeral
found out that some other friends of ours lost their son (one of a set of twins )to suicide 2 years ago, he was 20 yrs old, he hung himself...

I did take my grandma to a funeral for of her friends who died in her 90's during this time.... This was a totally different experience as you can imagine...

My friend Joanna lost her dad he was around his mid 50s

A couple of months ago it was a funeral for a 44 year old man Vince...

During the past year 3 of my friends Chele, kara and Joanna lost pregnancies, Joanns being her 4th second trimester loss

Which brings me to todays funeral Jennifer 20 years old dies in her sleep.....
