Rest in Peace Karah Conroy

Dam dude, that just stinks.

Harrison, as to what some of the other guys said, I have also been there as well. I had very close friend (almost could say brother) die 10 years ago from a drilling rig collaps. It is a very hard thing to come over, but we all find our own ways to deal with it. Instead of trying to deal with the loss, I remembered all the good things that we went through together. That is what made me able to deal with his loss, and might be something to help you too, but in the end you will find your own way. The only hard thing is that the day he died, is the same day as my wife's birthday. So although I celebrate on one end, I mourn on the other, but either way I perfer to celebrate both her birthday and his life, as that is what they would want you to do. My thougths and prayers go out to you and her family.

Harrison, I can't give an explanation for things like this but I can offer you my prayers.

The first time I shook hands with Death was when I was 15 yr old. I was Chaplain for our DeMolay chapter and the President was 17 and just got his driver's license. Had it for one week before he tried to pass someone and hit another car head-on. Devastating. Since then I've gone to the dance a few times - just last year with my brother as you know. It doesn't get easier nor do any questions get answered except that we are short for this world, make every minute count and don't forget those who passed before.

That sucks Harrison. My thoughts are with you, the school and of course her friends and family.

That's just saddening, H. I wish her family the best after this tragedy. It just makes me depressed to see someone as old as me have their life taken away.
