So very sad. That last picture is especially beautiful. Maybe your DGD can frame it someday.

This is indeed heartbreaking. I'm so sorry.

so so sorry.. for everyone. this is indeed a tragedy. my heart goes out to everyone involved which i am sure is wide circle. sincere condolences.

What a beautiful girls. Truly truly heartbreaking.

This is making my cry, I'm so sorry for your DGDs loss, and of course to anyone who knew and loved this beautiful girl who was so obviously full of life.

What an unspeakable tragedy.

I am truly sorry,.

Son experienced loss of his best friend, that lived next door, when they were in high school.

So sad! Hugs to you, your daughter and her friend's family. Heart breaking.

I'm so sorry.

I will continue to pray for your family, your granddaughter, and her friends family. It's so sad to lose a close one.

I am so sorry and it makes me so very sad. Having a granddaughter myself who is about the same age (recently turned 18) and a long time soccer player with many such friends, I can understand the heartache she must be going through. There is such a bond these girls have and it’s going to hurt deeply for a long time. And such a tragedy for this young girl’s family. May you all find some comfort somehow.

Those are beautiful pictures. (((Hugs!)))

Just horrible. She is indeed now an angel. RIP

Im very sorry for the loss this girls family and your GD have suffered. God bless her soul.

Our daughters best friend was killed in a car accident the day before her 17th birthday. Our daughter was supposed to be with her but she had practice. daughter told her friend she would ride along with her if she waited til after volleyball. her friend didn't want to wait. It was a horrible, horrible time. It's been 14 years now.

Such beautiful girls -- their smiles are radiant! Please hang in there with her, Phoggie.

So sad. I lost my best friend when we were 7 years old. I think of her often. It's especially sad to see a child taken so early. Prayers for the family and loved ones.

So horribly sad. When you posted about the wreck, I Googled and found the story, and therefore, her FB page. She was a beautiful girl.

I talked to DD tonight and the girls mother is having a terrible time with guilt. She had a terrible headache and was the one who asked Abigail if she would drive her other daughter to dance rehearsal... and if she had taken her, this would not have happened. She is home for awhile, then she goes back to hospital to be with other daughter, then she feels she needs to go back home to tend to family, then back to hospital and back and forth etc.

The grandma is making funeral arrangements etc. and DD has been asked to help her do that. DD is a teacher and although it is late, she still has papers to grade, lessons to prepare, and make snacks for teachers party tomorrow, and wanted to make some cookies and food for the grieving family yet tonight. I just hope she will not allow herself to be spread too thin.

KT family I appreciate your kindnesses.

I feel for your granddaughter. She is so young to experience the anguish of losing a dear friend. What a heartache. She will always carry her friend in her heart. What beautiful, vibrant young women.

How devastating. I can't even think of anything comforting to say. Hugs to all.

What beautiful girls - the loss of one must be nearly unbearable.

I think Chi has made a wonderful suggestion about framing the last photo for your GD. It would be a lovely memento of their friendship and the time they had together.

So very sad and heartbreaking. My thoughts are with all this tragedy has affected. Am I the only one that thinks your GD and Abigail look like sisters?

I am so sorry. I just said a prayer for your family and her family.

Dolly, they were closer than sisters and probably got along much better also ;-)

What a terrible tragedy.

I'm so very sorry for your terrible loss. There are no good words when one so young goes way before their time. Prayers said.

Words can not express the sadness of this tragedy. Beautiful girl and gone so soon. Your GD will have a hard time and will have this grief all her life. Not fair. I feel so bad for the guilt the mother has.

Such a tragic story, my heart goes out to her friends and family.

So tragic! Sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you, your family and the beautiful young girls family and friends.

Such a tragedy, I am so sorry. I know her parents must be going through something unbearable. I am sorry for your granddaughter.

I am so sorry.

Abigail's grandmother has been a rock throughout this tragedy.. Last night she hosted over 300 friends of Abigail to a gathering and pizza so they could get together and share memories... lots of tears and laughter.

She will always be remembered by your granddaughter and held close to her heart, which is probably broken in pieces right now. So very sad for all. God bless you too Phoggie.

Chi and DawnInCal, at the teens visitation last night, GD made a tri-folder of pictures of the two of them throughout their years and on the table was a blue framed picture of the one you suggested with Sunflowers (her favorite flower) and candles.

Tonight at the HS basketball game, everyone from both schools will be wearing yellow shirts in her memory.

I certainly don't know her or her family but have thought about this beautiful girl all week. So sad. Lovely poignant display. What a waste of a wonderful life.
