Heart of an Angel



Heart of an Angel, originally uploaded by wind_dancer.

We lost one of our own, early this morning in an automobile accident. Details are still sketchy, and an investigation is still ongoing.

She was only 17, and a beautiful young girl. This photo is in remembrance of her and her bubbly, bright smile and personality. Her parents have been notified, and all up and down the coast, everyone knows who she is, but out of respect for the privacy of her parents, I am withholding her name from my blog. Just know that the majority of the coast is in morning today.

UPDATE, both the driver of the SUV the young girl was riding in, and the driver of the truck that struck the SUV after it rolled, have been arrested on felony hit and runs. They will probably both be charged with felony DUI, if the information I have received is accurate, and one of them may easily be charged with voluntary manslaughter. It is so sad, all the way around.

  • HWY1 has taken so many lives.

    So sorry to hear this news. Any loss of life is sad, but to loose a child that is only 17 seems such a loss. All my sympathy goes out to her family and friends.

    May God watch over her.

  • Very sad Kate. What a terrible loss for the family and the community. I have a 17 year old and cannot imagine the feeling of loss the parents are going through.
    Too young.
    My heart goes out in sympathy.

  • In the light of the Spirit, I would ask that all say prayers and send healing, forgiving thoughts to ALL involved in this tragedy. I have seen some emails recently filled with hate and animosity towards some parties involved. Practice compassion and forgiveness, folks...it will come back to YOU! NAMASTE...we are ALL one in Spirit.
