Death Of A Friend :(

I learned today that a friend of mine had passed away this past weekend. I wanted to blog about it, because I know that the entire community comes together when one of its own is hurt, but I don’t know what to write.
How do you explain, with words, what is going through your mind? The emotions racing through you as you recall past events? I don’t have the mental or emotional capacity to put these thoughts into words. I just can’t do it.
I could write a long obituary, detailing every minute thing, but that wouldn’t do him justice. He was my friend, and it hurts that he is gone. Sure, Webster wasn’t famous outside of his circle of friend, but that doesn’t matter.

Hey buddie, so sorry about your loss of Webster. Part of your world, part of your past, and part of your self have also passed on.
Thanks for your blog post. You’re letting part of Webster live on./

i just found out thy most saddest news yesterday, my best friend in Flordia called me and she had told me to get a box of tissues. so i did and then she told me that thy sweetest teacher Linda Mercer of Everitt Middle School died Saturday of a fatal heart attack. she was thy best person in thy whole freakn world. she always had a smile, always happy to see her students, she loved to teach. i also loved to watch her walk when she was either mad or in a hurry, she always looked down, her glasses on thy tip of her nose, and her hair flowing behind her. she also loved to tell stories of her past students and people she knew. she could never stay on one topic.
all of her students loved to be in her room. she made life fun again, and she taught from her heart, and she taught me thy most valuable thing, to live life happy not sad or mad.
thank-you MRS.MERCER
I LOVE YOU!!!!!!

My name is rachel i was in mrs. mercers class i loved correction i love her so much. i cant believe she is gone i will always have her in my heart and i will never forget her and the hard times she went through while i was in her class. she went though divorce, agony and pain. i will never forget the days she cried in class because her husband was in Iraq. If she were here now i would hug her and let her know that i love her but i didnt get the chance to tell her before she passed. i wish i would have visited her more often. im sorry mrs. mercer that this had to happen to you i will always love you and remember you until i die.
sincerly rachel former student of yours

When I heard that Mrs.Mercer had pasted away, I didn’t believe it. Just that Friday she was jumping around, singing, being her normal happy self. It seemed impossible. When I found out that it really was the truth, all I could do was cry. Mrs.Mercer was a wonderful teacher, who had a great impact on all her students. She was loved by so many people, and I was one of them. At her funeral their were tons of people, that just shows how much everyone loves her. We all wish that we could have our beloved Mrs.Mercer back, but shes in a much better place, where she doesn’t have to worry about anything! My symphony’s go to her family, who i heard so much about. From what I heard their the best family, you could ever ask for.
Love,
Brittney Winters.
Mrs.Mercer will never be forgotten♥
