I have a special request for all my SB friends. Please take a moment and call a friend to just say Hi. One you saw yesterday or one that you haven't talked to for awhile.

I lost my best friend to a one vehicle car wreck today. I was lucky to have talked to her on Tues. She was planning a party for Fri night and was so excited. We had a nice visit - one I will treasure forever.

I hope everyone has a nice Thanksgiving
Becky
 
I am so sorry to hear that. I will be thinking of you and her other family and friends. One of my best friends and I are going to visit my family 200 miles away tomorrow. We postponed it a day because of snow. We will be sure to drive safely tomorrow. I am terribly sorry for your loss.

Sorry to hear of the loss, good note to get in touch with those you love, this or any time of the year!
 
i've never experience the loss of a close friend. i'm sure that it's devistating. thanks for the humbling reminder that we should not take our loved-ones for granted.
 
Sorry to hear about that Becky. I just went to dinner with my best friend. I made certain to tell her I love her and how much she means to me.
 
oh Becky, I lost one of my best friends in the exact same way, i truly feel for you :( I hadnt seen her in person for almost 4 months, she lived far away from me, but we always talked on the phone, the week before her car wreck we sms'ed messages, remembering our days in high school saying how we have to catch up real soon...then the call at work a week later..everything changed, she was gone, just like that. It is so sudden, a horrible, empty feeling left, a hole in my heart forever. we would never laugh or hug or remember the good times we had together again. She was only 20, she had so much to look forward to. I miss her so much, I think about her often, i just want to hug her again..After it happens you feel like you will never have a day where you dont think about it, but you do in time, the pain eases, you think more of the great times you had, how wonderful they were..it does get better. I always tell my dear friends how much i love them, and i see them more regularly than before. they are truly a gift in my life and they know that. Celebrate your friends life and live out your dreams. She would want you to do that. My deepest condolances to you at this hard time. may you find the strength to get through your days and nights to come.
 
Becky, My condolences go out to you and the family. I lost one of my best friends too, to an angry, desperate, mother with a bomb attached to herself. It really leaves you unfinished.... but you can cherish the sweet time you spent together. I beleive that one of god's greatest gifts is the laughs we share with our friends. I try to call my friends in Israel every two weeks or so, but we are always in touch thorugh ICQ and MSN.

I want to second Becky's message to keep in touch with the friends that you love, because you never know if you might lose them.

My condolences.
