First off I want to say how much of a blessing Chelsea was in my life personally. Her and I were only a month or two apart (close in age). We met when she moved to Georgia, I was her first friend in Georgia. What a start? I mean, really. I lived about five minutes or so away from her family. I can remember going to her birthday party and getting SO sunburnt that we spent math class slapping each others sunburn. She was full of spunk, spirit you could say. I remember the bus rides. We would sit together, she would either be chatting with me or starting something, miscellaneous things. My life was changed by her being placed in it, she could always make me smile. She had a nack of always finding silly ways to make the situation we were in better. Either that be in school, family life, during my birthday party (Where she had her wisdom teeth removed and STILL came. And preceded to eat all the sour gummy bears. :). To skip ahead because this shouldn't be super long, her and I had fun to say the least. It was an honor and a pleasure to know this young lady and to have called her my friend. We had our ups and our downs, like all friends do. But we got to resolve the tears in our relationship and I thank God it happened. I still can barley admit that this happened, I find myself trying to call her number. But Chelsea your in heaven smiling down on us and I am truly thankful that you were here to be in our lifes. Your memories will never fade, the people you touched, the lifes you spoke in to. You taught me what it means to smile, to find the funny in every situation. I still remember when we lived together, Aiden threw his juice bottle and it landed on the furnace and it got so hot it melted. My prayers will be with your family and friends and I will always remember you girl. We will see each other again and I bet you'll be there with open arms and stories to tell. Thank you for reading this there are stories just like mine and there is always hope. with love, Katie Cook. sarahkcook@hotmail.com
