God
made a mistake.
Things
happen. Good things ... bad things. Sometimes things happen
that make you say "Why!" How could God let this happen. We
lost Aimee Lagarde this week. It shouldn't have happened.
It wasn't time for her to go. God must've made a mistake.
Aimee
was one of those great persons that everyone liked. She excelled
academically, in school activities, and socially. In a world where
society is concerned about the way our youth are growing up, she was a
shining example that kids still do turn out right. |
Though she was taken from us, let us pray that our memories of her will
last a lifetime. Life can be short; let us remember to spend each
day being happy and spending time with the ones we love.
We love you,
Aimee

Dealing with the Tragic
Loss
No!
Our first reaction was one of
anger and denial. No! This can't be happening. Not Aimee.
We are angry ... trying to find blame ... upset that we are powerless to
change what has happened. |
Why!
We don't understand. How
can this happen? Did God make a mistake? Aimee was such a good
person, she didn't deserve this. As humans, we try to understand
why things happen.
It's not that God did or did
not make a mistake; a loving God would surely have nothing to do with taking
her away from her family and friends. We are living in a world where
accidents happen. Although it's hard to understand, there is no good
reason for her loss; it was just a terrible thing. |
Goodbye and Memories
At some point ... after the
anger and denial are assimilated ... after we we have shed our tears and
accepted the loss ... we eventually say goodbye. We come to realize
that Aimee is gone, but we have to continue with life.
Though we say goodbye to Aimee's presence,
we will always keep the memories of her with us. For those
who didn't know her, they surely feel the loss to our community of a truly
good person. For those who knew Aimee, there will always be a part
of our hearts reserved for memories of her.
Aimee's death in itself had no purpose.
But I'm sure that if it can be used to some good end, Aimee would like
that. She would want us to realize the importance of each day.
She would want us to be careful on the road. She would want us to
cherish our family and friends. She would want us to be happy. |
