Sixteen-year-old Brittany Collier died in a car accident on Sunday, August 14, 2005. As I visited Alex on Tuesday afternoon, I saw her grave, covered with dozens of flower arrangements and thought about who she might have been. I saw on her temporary grave marker that she was a teenager...and I began to think about her family...and all those she must have left behind to mourn her passing.
I wonder how her parents are doing...how her younger brother is doing. I'm incredibly sad for all of them. But I'm particularly sad for Brittany's mother because I know the questions she will ask as she sits in that place, not so far from where I sit.
I hope that she finds peace along her journey of grief.

Your hopes for her are my hopes for you. Sending you some love and support today.
Even though I hate it when anybody says...well at least you never knew your baby or you could have lost and older child...I do think it would be a thousand times harder. That is very very tragic.
