La Vida y El Muerto

A while ago, I wrote about hard things happening in the lives of friends. Well, today I was looking at the website set up by the family of Laurie, Harper's friend who took her life. It is unreal how much of an impact this girl has made of the lives of so many people. I mean, I never even met her, and I still feel like I knew her and knew that she genuinely cared about people. There are people in several different countries and states that have been impacted by Laurie... and by her death. I am sure that some of the young ladies I will meet in Queretaro have been friends with her and learned from her. I can't even imagine what daily goes through the minds of Laurie's family, fiance, and friends. Although I have a tiny idea from reading their blogs. One friend of hers wrote a pretty detailed account of the three days when they thought Laurie was missing/kidnapped. It really tore my heart out hearing about when they found out what really happened. I'm not really sure why this situation is on my mind so much - thank God it wasn't one of my close friends that died. But, I know all who are impacted have something to learn from Laurie's life and death, including me.
