I’ve known about it since last night. She was only 12 years old 
It’s going to be a rough week my family (mainly my mom’s side).
Oh my, I don’t know what to say. Condolences to you and your family. Keep strong. 
Awe! I’ve never lost a cousin, but I’ve lost 4 grandparents, so I know losing someone can be tough. Be strong, you can get through this. Trust me.
Wow, that’s really tragic, I’m sorry to hear that. I hope everyone in your family can stay strong. My condolences, hang in there. 
Sorry to hear that. That must suck. The only relative I know that died were my grandma my Aunt,and recently my grandpa.
Oh lord…Oh that poor child! I am so sorry for your loss! How are you and your family copeing?
Mom mom is taking it ok. My mom says that my grandma is taking it ok.
Not sure how her parents and sister is doing. Or how her grandma is doing though.
The viewing is on Wednesday, and the funeral is on Thursday. At least, that what my grandma said to my mom. It’s going to be a long week.
OMG nightwheel, that’s terrible! I never lost someone that close to me but I know it must be very hard because I’ve experienced something like that, except it wasn’t really a relative and wasn’t exactly a friend…but nonetheless it’s awful. I hope things get better. It’s so sad she died at such a young age! I’ll remember to keep you and your family in my prayers…and maybe she might visit you in a dream sometime [my dad went through that before- someone close to him died but appeared to him in a dream night after night for a week- it’s amazing]. I hope at least something like that can happen for you to make things better.
Wow! I feel so sorry for you. I know how you feel. God Bless your Cousin.
I’m so sorry for your loss, nightwheel. My condolences.
Dang Nab…
Today was the funeral . There is nothing that can prepare you to see a 12 year old in a casket. And seeing the sleepless, grieving mother who wants to hold her little girl one last time. This is was one of the rare moments that I have been speechless. My aunt (the girl’s grandma) asked me how I was doing. And all I could give as an answer was some simple hand and shoulder gestures. I was at a true loss for words.
Many people came. There were family, friends, teachers, other kids who knew her there. The room was packed full of people.
The family’s pastor spoke, my cousin’s youth pastor spoke, the sister spoke, and the brother spoke. Lots of tear jerking moments followed during and/or after each person spoke.
Forget the crap Hollywood portrays in movies and on TV. That stuff flat outs fails in comparison to the real thing.
Then I came time get ready for the funeral procession to the cemetery. So everybody there got ready to leave. And the pole bearers (which included her brother and two of my other cousins) carried her to the hearse. Then we headed out
I swear and kid not. The procession was at least a mile long. And there was Kentucky Department of Transportation Officers and Local Police (marked and unmarked) lining the whole route to the cemetery, Blocking off the traffic.
We then got to the cemetery. The pole bearers then carried her back out of the hearse and to the temporary pavilion/tent thingy. Which was next to where she was going to be buried. Where she is to be buried is next to where my one of my uncle (her grandpa); and where my grandpa is buried.
Then a few closing words were given by the pastors, and a quick word from the mother. Then some people put roses on her casket. And the funeral was done. Everybody left either for home or to one of the pastors church to have a free provided meal. The mother still grieving, wanted to take her little girl with her. But the people helping her to her car kept trying to comfort her.
I took the quick opportunity after the funeral. To visit the grave of my grandpa who died last year.
Then we (my family) took my grandma home.
And thats basically all I have done today.
(Also, my last name isn’t Greenwell if any of you were wondering. And I don’t live in McCracken county.)
Oh my God! I’m so sorry about your loss, nightwheel!
I’ve never had anybody I know close to me die due to a car crash, so I’m really feeling sorry for you. My condolences, as well.
You’re right. When I went to my grandmother’s funeral in the summer this year, I wasn’t really prepared for what was gonna come. The room was mostly lit, and their was barely anybody there… It was quiet… It wasn’t a good feeling, at all… Also, you’re right about Hollywood’s portrayals of deaths, usually they’re really over the top nowadays.
Anyways, hope you and your family recover from this loss…
I am so sorry for your loss, nightwheel. A death in the family is always hard, especially when it is someone so young. You and your family are in my prayers. May God grant you all comfort during this difficult time.
I’m sorry to heart that. It’l be ok, just give yourself time and take it easy. I know it’s hard, but try to not put too much stress on yourself. Remember, take it one day at a time.
Wow…no real words can describe the emotions that run from such an event. I know i can’t say much to ya but i’ll be praying for you…that you may have peace, that your immediate family has peace, and that your relatives can feel the love that they can receive from each other in hard times. That they would use that love to power their closeness together not in a way to remove themselves from the world but to make them closer in unity. I pray that God’s will be done for the entire family and that whatever his design was for this tragic death that it would be made known. I pray that you may have peace…for the coming holiday season and for the rest of your life…i pray that everyone who was at the service and the burial would draw closer together and find comfort in the memories that they can share and the moments they had with your cousin.
May God Bless you, your family, and your relatives in this hardship and make you grow stronger…
I’m so sorry. How young, too. Simply tragic. 8( My prayers are with everybody grieving. HUG
I am extremely sorry. God bless you, your family, and your cousin.
I’m so sorry to hear about what’s happened, nightwheel, my sincerest condolences to you and your family. It must be so difficult, especially as she was only young.
Deaths are always so sad. I just wish in the future, people canlive forever, or die when their like 200.
Anyway i’m so sorry, I had my Pop pass away like last month so yea, It’s just so sad .
Yeah, having people die is very sad. I remember last May, when my aunt died, and at the funeral, during the slideshow, they showed a picture of her holding me when I was a baby, I literally burst to tears. Another thing that bothers me though is that I keep imagining what I WOULD DO if my best friend (this girl that I’ve known since 3rd grade and have had a crush on ever since) died, and I’ve had HORRIBLE THOUGHTS and… I don’t know.
