Hello everyone, this is Chrissie's mother. I know how much my daughter loved this site so I'm here to inform everyone that even though she hadn't been on here in a while that she passed away this morning in a car wreck. As you can see it is very hard to write this so please just remember us in you prayers. She went to be with her dad & brother. Thank you all.

I'm sorry about this. Not to be offensive but to make sure that Chrissie gets is remembered without mistakes, I suggest that you put a "h" after the T in Thank you all. - Chuck_Norris, Dec 8, 2009
I fixed it Chuck. I'm sure all of us understand a spelling error in this situation. - Nicole-B, Dec 8, 2009

Chrissie's Mother,

I'm so very sorry for your loss, and pray that God will grant you the grace to deal with it. Thank you very much for coming to tell us about it. And in this difficult time know that God is still in control.

1 Corinthians 10:13 says- No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

The original word behind the words translated temptation and tempted also includes the meaning of trials- difficult times that we endure. That verse assures me that God will never allow more difficulty than I can handle.

I hope you find in him all the comfort that you need.

To have the courage to let us know of your loss shows how much you cared.

Many of us here have become like friends and losing one is very sad.

To lose a daughter is even more sad.

Be sure many people here are thinking of you from all around the world.

Think of that - I hope it helps you at least a little. I wish you peace of mind. Ian

It's difficult enough to notify family and friends of such a tragedy much less their web community. My heart truly goes out to you.

It is my worst fear as a mother to outlive my child. I cannot imagine having the poise & equanimity to notify her web community in such an event. Thank you for your example of strength and grace. I am truly sorry for this sudden loss. You and those who loved Chrissie are in my prayers.

It's hard to get over something like that, but I'm sure everything will be better some day. It's just so hard but it seems like every year someone I know dies, this past year of 2009 it was my great-grandfather and a girl I went to school with. Sometimes I'll just sit and think of who will die in 2010, I don't want to, but I can't keep myself from it.
