I am so sorry, and so sad for those poor children losing their mother. I cannot imagine.

The services went wonderfully and Margaret was paid a beautiful tribute. Her casket was a gorgeous metallic mauve color w/ distressed gold trim. There were so many flowers. So many. I started counting (I get anxiety and need to distract myself, so I counted) and lost track somewhere around 20 arrangements.

Her husband... That poor man had to be physically supported by his dad when he walked to his seat, when he walked to the car, when he walked to the graveside. It was completely heartbreaking. His brother in law (Margaret's brother), too, was always right by him and always had an arm around him.

Margaret's dad had tears in his eyes when I gave him a hug. He told me, "She was just such a precious, precious thing."

She was such a beautiful person who touched so many lives and was so well-liked. She and Chase were always a wonderful couple and a great team.

I talked with her sister, Elizabeth, and referred to her as "the next best thing to mom."

I need to include Elizabeth & the girls in outings w/ my kids because she doesn't have any of her own and now she's become a surrogate mom to these beautiful little people and we need to include Chase in things we do, as well. We can't neglect any of them.

: That silly "smiley" just doesn't convey how sad I am. The girls are so lucky to have you to always tell them stories about their mama - especially the little one who probably won't remember much about her.
Hugs and prayers.

Thanks. It's been a rough week for me again. It comes and goes. I get to thinking about the girls and Chase and I just can't imagine being in that situation.

Those poor, poor girls. I'm so sorry that you all are going throug this. What a wonderful friend you are though, they are lucky to have you. So many "friends" abandon you when these sort of hard situations arise because to often we don't know how to handle it.

I have two daughters as well, 8 and 3, so this story hit me pretty hard. I can't imaging what a situation like this would be like for them.

I'm sending you, and them my prayers. I hope that they may find peace.

Update:

We saw Chase & the girls a couple months ago. They're doing so much better. I was so glad to see them. The dad was smiling and seemed mostly himself. Mostly. There was a shadow of grief.

Keeping in touch has been much harder than I thought it would be.

How weird that you just updated. A high school classmate of mine was recently killed by a drunk driver. She left behind a husband and three girls.

I'm glad to hear that they are doing alright. These things are just so unbelievably tragic.
