Q: Tribute to Momma, Daddy And Brad

On december 10th, six years ago, three wonderful smart loving people were taken from this world cruely and left behind a nine year old boy, and a 14 year old girl to fend for themselves.

They were on their way to a huge basketball tournament when they were hit by someone who did not stop for the red light and were pushed over the edge of a cliff that had a sixty foot drop.

Six years ago I recieved a devastating knock on the door by 3 police officers that I will never forget. But it has made us stronger and we will always remember the parents that loved us so much, did everything for us and helped us fulfill our dreams. We will always remember our brother who taught us both how to skate so we were both on hockey teams, how to play all the sports we were both involved in and showed us just about anything!

Six years later you have a 15 year old young man who still plays all these sports and is going to be a wonderful father and husband someday. And ...You there is me. A pregnanct 19 year old who misses her family deeply but is assured that she will meet up with them again someday and that they are watching over us all.

Crying or Very sad I love you momma, daddy and brad, we will never forget you. Every year we post a tribute to you and we always will. Crying or Very sad

love always melissa and aj o'hara

Melissa that was so heartfelt, it made me cry! You truly are an amazing woman to have survived that, and I look up to you for it. I look at you and know that I can get past those rainy days. I truly hope the best for you, and will keep you in my prayers.
Much love,

Wow, there is so much about people that I dont know. I would never have guessed that something like that had happened to someone here on the boards, but I guess I was wrong because it happens to everyone. I guess I am being nieve. I am sorry that has happened to you, and I am sorry that you had to go through that. But I am glad to know that you are holding strong and that you and your brother are both striving for the best in life, and not looking down on this day. That is the type of person that you son or daughter is going to need as a role model. I am sure that you parents are looking down on you in awe. Good luck with everything this next year and I hope that you accomplish everything and anything that you set your mind to. Good luck sweetheart!!

Vanessa - hunni it wasn't meant to make you cry but it is a touchy subject so I can understand why you did. I bawled the whole time I wrote it...Which was really hard cuz I couldnt see the keys! Mad silly keys! Anyway sweetie thank you for everything you said, and the support you gave. Melissa

im trying to catch up with everyone who replied so if I forget someone just give me a while i'll figure it out!

that is interesting...I'm so proud of you...Ya know keeping your family together and making sure you both got ahead.


jennifer
it was pretty weird to keep everything together by myself and like i've said before I pretty much missed all the things most teen girls get to do, but that was ok because letting my brother, my only living family member left, be taken away from me was not an option and I refused to let it happen. Thank you for your support! Melissa

liz -i really dont know what to say, you'd think after six years of people saying they're sorry and that i've been brave that I would catch on and figure out what to say, but I really havent got a clue except to say thank you for being here for me and your support much love melissa
