In Loving Memory

We grew up knowing each other our entire lives,

If only things could've been different you might have survived.

Getting into mischief, that's what we did,

Living life with no regrets and just being kids.

We were always having fun and playing different games,

laughing, teasing, and calling each other names.

The time flew by and we became young adults,

Trouble followed us everywhere but it was never our fault.

As we grew older we threw our toys,

started driving cars, and chasing boys.

Doing stupid stuff with nothing to gain,

Going for long walks and getting caught in the rain.

We told secrets and had our little fights,

Pretty soon we were sneaking out of grandma's house on hot summer nights.

Going to parties and drinking a few beers,

not listening to out parents and having no fears.

We were breaking the law and we said screw the rules,

We were drinking and driving and acting like fools.

Our actions were careless, and very irresponsible,

But we didn't listen we never thought it was possible.

It was just another weekend, and you were raising some heck,

Later that night the phone rang and they told us "there's been a car wreck".

You were on your way home driving down Lake Shutte Rd,

You were driving too fast and lost control.

As the car rolled your spirit lifted,

God chose you because you were the one of the gifted.

We denied it at first we thought it was a lie,

But we had no choice, we had to say goodbye.

Dealing with your death brought on so much pain,

Knowing that birthdays and Holidays would never be the same.

It's been 2 1/2 years since the tragic winter night,

Still wondering how could this happen, it just doesn't seem right.

As you look down on us from Heaven above,

We offer our condolences and send you our love.

Life is full of obstacles so we can grow stronger,

If only Brit could've stayed just a little bit longer.

All we have left are memories of Britnee,

But now she an angel taking on God's journey.

Be grateful for your family and love your friends,

Because you'll never know when someone's life will come to and end.

I'll always wonder why this happened to you,

But always remember we weren't just cousins, we were Best friends too!!!!
