Sadness

My 19 year old niece died tragically on Sunday May 17, 2010.  Last week was the longest week of my entire life.  I don't know how my brother, his ex-wife and her husband had the courage and strength to bury their daughter.   The family misses her terribly and there will always be a hole in our hearts that can never be filled.  Crystal, watch over your dad, mom, stepdad, sister, brother, family and friends from heaven.

Below are two photos my brother asked me to take at the candlelight vigil held by Crystal's friends, some of whom call my brother "dad".  It was moving and started the healing process for my brother.
