I received terrible, terrible news today. My 18 year old cousin Jenny
died today. She was involved in a school bus accident in Rimbey. My
home town. A gravel truck hit the school bus. There were 14 kids on
there. My cousin and another 2 other kids were killed. That is the
same bus all of my family rode every school day. This kills me. She
was 2 months away from graduating. She was sadly an only child. That
is what kills me. She was like me never partied. Never did drugs or
drink. My poor Aunt Donna and my Uncle Jim. The worst part of this is
the media won't leave my family alone. There are getting tons of
calls from horrible mean reporters, wanting the story. My Dad got
tons too. Every single member of my family. The upset my Grandpa so
bad Vicitm Services had to come see him.They told my Dad that Uncle
Keith talked when he did not. They thought my Dad would talk then. My
Uncle Jim and Donna had to leave there own house because of all the
reporters. This is hard. It happened this morning on the way to
school. I just wish everyone would leave my family alone and let them
grieve. The funeral is on Tuesday. I am going back home, on Saturday.
This is so sad. I want all of them to leave my family alone and let
us grieve. I used to babysit Jenny all of the time. She was a bright
spot in our family. We will all miss her. Very, very smart sweet
girl. Had her future ahead of her. All of those poor kids did. All
lot of tradgey. All lot of lives changed. Today I won the mother load
of awards. I feel so bad having something really good for me and have
to feel so sad. What is worse I was flipping through the channels and
I saw the bus she was on. It was ripped in half. I wish I am the only
one in my family that that will haunt.I am going to dedicate the
highest awards I won in my cousin's memory. This is your award now
Jenny. All yours. I won the talking Hands Compassionate Award in your
honor. It is the oldest kind of its award. It has been around since
1986. They had me go through 3 different processes; the first was if
they liked my site. The next one was a laudation for someone else who
knew me. Trevor helped me. The next was 3 glowing laudations from 3
people I did not know. It took three months. I actually never thought
I would win this. There is no higher award in the world. This is what
I leave you Jenny. Also all of the other victims on that bus. My
heart bleeds for them. I knew them all. This is what they have to say
about me.
