Preparing to cry today...

Some of you may remember that one of my DD's soccer teammates was killed in an ATV accident in November. She was 15. Well, soccer season has begun and last night at practice the coach brought out her Jersey that he had printed with her name (our jerseys are used from year to year so they are never marked with names) and had all the girls sign it. They will present it to her mom and sister at the game tonight. It's going to be a very sad but cathartic event. RIP number 8. You will ALWAYS be a lady Trojan!!!

What a very nice thing for the coach and team to do for the family. Such a sad thing to have happened.

How sad!! But what a beautiful tribute to her for those she left behind. There's an angel on the team now. Hang in there and bring lots of tissues!

That is so Sad. My dd had a friend die last year, he was just 16 and the boys basketball team this year won states so they presented a metal to his Mom. Tears my heart out just thinking about it. Take lots of tissues.

Such a tragic loss, thoughts are with you and her family.

Kimandasmo · Tue Mar 22, 2011 4:13 pm

this will be a wonderful gesture for her family. I am sure it will be hard on the girls to take the field. My thoughts and prayers will be with the girls and her family tonight.

LyndaKay · Tue Mar 22, 2011 4:22 pm

I'm choked up, too! I know it will be difficult for everyone to hold the tears in, but it will help everyone remember her in happy times playing a game she loved! I think it is a very thoughtful expression of love to her mother. My thoughts will be with you and your family.
