Why Does This Happen?

As everyone in Weiser knows, and many of you who who don't live in Weiser know, an amazing person, good friend, and someone I went all the way through school with, Joe Dickerson, was killed early Sunday morning.

I have gone through many deaths in my life. While in high school, our school went through two sudden deaths within 2 weeks of each other. Jenna Zeller and Kylene Vickers. Jenna was 2 grades below me, but I had grown up with her and known her very well. Kylene was in my grade and we had been friends since we were very young. I didn't think that this could happen again. Joe was in the same class as Jenna. The class of 2008 has gone through so much the past few years and I am truly sorry and praying for you. I am also praying for the Dickerson family and close friends of the family.

The are no words to express the feelings of losing such an amazing person.

Growing up with Joe, there were many memories with him, but last night my mom reminded me of one and I couldn't stop laughing for about an hour.

When we were younger, Joe and I were at a picnic and he wouldn't leave me alone. He kept following me everywhere. And I just couldn't get him to stop. He was everywhere I was. (I was about 6 or 7 at the time). Finally, I hid under the table by my moms legs. My mom looked down at me and asked what was going on and I told her that "Joe WOULD NOT STOP FOLLOWING ME AROUND! And I was hiding from him!!"

Many memories flood your mind after you lose someone.

I'm not sure how to end this, except....

I'm praying for all of you.

    I am very glad that you are still the amazing, happy girl I grew up with. That is so exciting that you have found true love, and even better that he's a Weiser boy. It looks like you are doing all the things you love & in result loving life.
    Are you planning on staying around Weiser? My parents just moved to Nevada, so you probably won't randomly run into my mom anymore. Maybe one of these days I'll run into you. Good luck with the wedding. I hope you post pictures, you are bound to be a gorgeous bride.
