    My dear sweet friend. I wish I would have been able to get that ice cream with you Tuesday. Never in a million years would I have thought that would be the last time we spoke. You always had a big smile anytime we saw each other. So sad that our friendship has ended so soon. You were beautiful inside and out. Until we meet again my sweet lily, get your rest. Live you chic.

    My beloved cousin was the victim. She had been told one and a thousand times to walk away from the individual who took her life. She was a beautiful person–caring and generous. I always thought she would have a long life like her maternal grandmother who died at the age of 103, not cut short at the age of 53. Please send a prayer her way. She believed in heaven. If there is a heaven, I hope she is now there.

    PTSD is a beast…walking away is easy when you have no demons.

    Wow…this is crazy right here. @ JMH, you are correct, way too close to home here as well. I’ve always believed that it’s easier to just walk away from an argument and allow things to cool off. The fact that this led to one taking another’s life then take their own is sure sad. I, we, don’t know the full story here and probably won’t ever know but two lives are gone and two families left with sadness, heart break and unanswered questions from this tragedy. Big prayers for these families and for the souls who lost their life for something so senseless as this. Just shaking my head over here.
