    I thought I'd come on here and give you all a little more information about what happened. the two people involved in this incident where my aunt and uncle. my family and theres we're very close all throughout my life. growing up my uncle was my favorite relative. he was very much a kid at heart, and always found the time to play with me. its been some time since I've seen him last, so I dont know what happened during that time that would spark him to do such a thing. my aunt was a very kind hearted loving mother of 2 girls. A 17 year old and a 22 year old, both of which are hit the hardest by this tragedy. my entire family is in a state of shock right now. Everyday you see it on the news, people getting murdered, and family member killing each other. most of us dont think much of it. We’ll feel sorry for the people who died, but forget about it as soon as the next news story starts. many of us think how lucky we are to have happy families, and never think something like this would happen to us.

    Sad end to ride

    Oh, my dear, I know I speak with many others in saying I'm so, so sorry. What a terrible thing to happen, and I hope your family will be able to come together to support each other, especially your cousins, in your grief and loss. Terrible things happen, and we can't always know why. Sometimes knowing why doesn't help much. Please feel cared about, even though you don't know many of us who are sad for you. Thank you for your generosity in sharing information about what happened. It can't have been easy for you.
    Of course, no need to reply.

    AET, I am very sorry to hear it was your aunt and uncle. Some of us don't forget stuff like that because it hits very close to home. I've had many years to think about that situation and my conclusion is still uncertain. Time takes care of a lot of wounds.

    You and your family will be in my prayers.

    {{{{AET}}} What a hard post that had to have been for you to write. Thank you so much for sharing with us and know that you and yours are in my thoughts. Please feel free to come here as often as needed/possible - we're here for you!
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    AET - thanks for telling us about your Aunt and Uncle. It is a very sad time for all who knew your Aunt and Uncle. On returning to school today after the holidays I was informed that your Aunt was a loved member of staff at my sons school and her work with special needs students was admired.
    Her death is a loss for the whole community.

    Your family are in our prayers.
