    SSSS: a student of mine passed away

    just found out last nite, that one of my students was in a major car accident. she was in critical condition, and some complications occurred, she had a stroke and passed away.

    she was only 7 years old.

    i'm just floored right now.

    I'm so sorry
    Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, you'll be a mile from them, and you'll have their shoes.

    I can't imagine the pain, not only for you but her parents as well. So young...

    Makes you feel lucky for what you have in life.

    There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it.

    I am really sorry RoniMan. I had to go to a funeral myself this week and it is really difficult to see the immediate family in such pain. But when they are able to look back at it they will appreciate everyone that came to support them. I wouldn't bring flowers. If you want to have flowers/plant sent to the funeral home/church that would be a better idea they will take care of set up and helping the family with them afterwards. Depending on the service details they may also have a card holder, which may be a better idea to bring with you.
