BIRTHDAY BASH CYBER CROP/MARCH 13-16TH: GOODBYES

Today I'm sharing a layout that I originally made several years ago of my youngest daughter Kristen and her friend Grace. The girls met as toddlers who attended the same day care home. They attended Gingerbread House Preschool together for two years; went to Safety Town bike safety training together; and played together. I took the photo in my layout on their last day of summer in 1993; they started kindergarten the next week.

Their friendship lasted through grade school, high school and beyond. After high school, their friendship continued. That all ended last fall, when Grace was driving home late at night on a country road. Rain had washed out a culvert; Grace's car hit the culvert, sending her flying out into the stream. She was found dead a short time later. It has been a real lesson to appreciate the people we love while they're here with us.

For this challenge, please create a layout that speaks of friendship, love and respect. Post your layout and commentary in the thread.

I wasn't sure I could find pics for this one but I actually ended up with three options. After dealing with all my broken fridge food I finally made it down to scrap.
It's been ten years this May without my cute Sister in law. The boy on her lap turned 20 yesterday.

Such a sad story, Barb I'm so sorry that Kristin lost such a good friend.

This is wonderful challenge. There are many stories that can be told.

Thank you, Karen. Most of my scrapbook layouts are happy, but occasionally it's important to chronicle the sad stories too.
