From Maria

 I'm at a complete loss. I don't know how to help. It's impossible.  My friend, who I met during our pregnancies and kept in touch over 17 years across the country has lost her daughter in a car accident yesterday morning. She was 17, a senior in high school, beautiful, smart, happy with the world out in front of her. Three of her friends remain in the hospital. 

Kathy Funke Sprinkle My heart breaks for you. I have no clue how to comfort you. I wish I could come in person. So many of us wish we could. To comfort you and somehow share that pain. We love you and are sending healing cool green moss to you and your husband. 

My cousin lit a candle for my Mom that gave me comfort.  I'm lighting four candles for Jessica and her 3 friends and tagging you in hope it will be a small showing of support from the east Coast.  We love you.
