On a sad note

[HeavenLeigh]

Today one of my friends was burried. I have known her since Kindergarten. She makes #4 From my graduating class to die :(

She was always over-weight. The kid almost everyone made fun of. She was such a smart girl, could have done anything in life. She ended up pregnant in HS and then married a real loser and had 2 more children. She put on a lot more weight after the kids. I'm not sure if she died of a heart attack or if she just stopped breathing in her sleep (she had sleep apnea).

Now 3 kids are left w/out a mom. One has never known his dad and the other 2 has a piece of crap for a dad. :(

Life is so sad sometimes. It really makes you stop and think about life and how short it is.

How many ppl from your graduating class has passed on?

Wow, that is so sad. I am very sorry to hear that.

I had a boyfriend in my freshman year of highschool who drowned over the 4th of July weekend. Then my boyfriend in my junior year was killed in a car accident. There was another guy that I didn't know at all that committed suicide by riding his motorcyle into the side of our school building.

Such tragedies.

:(

Only 2 people from my graduating class that I know of have passed away. One female and one male.

I went to the funeral for the female that I didn't really have a close friendship with but we spoke and were friendly to each other. She was a very popular girl and she died shortly after we graduated from college. She had an aneurysm while riding a roller coaster ride with her boyfriend. It really hit me hard because she was the same age as I was, she was single with no kids like I was, she was an only child like I was and we shared the same 1st name. That was the sadest funeral I have ever been too. It is harder when young people die because you feel that they didn't get the chance to live their lives to the fullest.

I sympathize with you heavenleigh because this was your friend. My situation was hard for me even though she wasn't really my friend but I know you are probably carrying a heavier load than I did. I pray that you find comfort in knowing that although these kids have lost their mother, God will be there for them.

God Bless.

Well we started the school year my senior year with 98 members(it was kind of cool, since we were the class of 98), but only 75 graduated. But of those 98 people 13(I think) have died, most by suicide, the rest by car accidents.

My little brother was in the class of 2000 and he has already lost more than 20 members of his class...it hasn't even been 4 years yet and they also had under 100 to start with. :(

My roommate's (after highschool) boyfriend of 6 years suffered a brain aneurysm while playing basketball at Syracuse University. It was sooo sad.

We had our share of death in our graduating class ... but nothing like my sister's class. It's so bad, people say her class was doomed and cursed.

At the start of highschool, there were around 150 kids in her graduating class. 20 of her classmates and our French teacher died in the Flight 800 crash. 2 committed suicide. 16 died in car crashes. 3 drowned. 1 was killed in a skark attack 2 years ago. 1 died of a stroke during childbirth just this year. 1 died of a blood clot in the brain. 1 died of a heart attach during football practice. AND 1 died of cancer at age 22. And those are just the ones I know about!

I was the class of 98 we had 4 people die in our 10th grade yearand, 4 that have died since we graduated. It is so hard because that makes you stop and think "wait they were my age that could have been me" it makes you not take anything for granted.

Wow! I can't believe how many people have passed away in some of your grad classes! Jenn-your sister's class especially! I could be off in my count, but I only know of two. My good friend Jay died in a motorcycle accident a few of years ago, and another guy Ian committed suicide this year. It's hard to think of these people that you saw day in and out as gone. You don't see them often, but it seems like they're still out there somewhere, living their lives. Makes you realize how fortunate you are, doesn't it?

I graduated in 1997 and haven't kept in touch with anyone, but to my knowledge 12 people have died. One girl hanged herself, two others died of drug overdoses. One guy also died of a drug overdose, one accidently shot himself, two were murdered, three were killed in car accidents and another from a disease he had struggled with since grade school that I can't remember the name of. My old boyfriend became a Marine and was killed in a helicopter crash and the last guy commited suicide. What's creepy about that one is he shot himself while sitting in a car parked in front of my apartment building. His girlfriend had just ended their abusive relationship and he apparently thought she and their infant daughter were living there.:no:

I only know of two people from my class that have died. One girl who lived in the apartment building next to me was shot by her boyfriend she tried breaking up with. When I went to the funeral they had an open casket. She looked horrible.
Another one was a guy that was killed in an ATV accident.
Both were very sad.

I only know of one.
About 9 years ago, my friends and I were at the local bar chatting.
In wallks this girl that I went to school and graduated with all my life. My friends knew her too. It was a small world.

A few of us went dancing. One of my friend's wife (also mine), this girl that I graduated with and another one. I was like the coolest one there with 3 women as dates.. The others didn't want to go. We had a blast. We hugged and kissed goodnight and my friends wife gave me a ride back to my car at the local bar. What do you think about a friend trusting you with his wife. Nothing happened.

And for the girl that I graduated with,

I never saw her again. She was killed by a drunk driver driving home late one night from work. Everyone was shocked.
I felt the pain. Just seeing her after all of those years and then finding out that she's dead. Shortly after that everyone started fade out of the picture. The old gang is no longer together. Every so often we see one of them and say hi.

That's the only one that I know of. Never really stayed in contacted with anybody. Most of them moved away to other states.

I graduated HS in '92 and that I am aware of only one person has passed on. One of the most popular guys in our class died in a motorcycle accident just a year or so after graduation.
