I wasn't going to cry, Katie! Alas, here I sit, looking through blurry eyes. To this day, Lonnie's death has been one of the hardest I've dealt with. His was the first funeral I'd attended with military services. I'll never forget that.
I still cry every time I look at our prom pictures. The world surely lost an amazing person that day. I'm not sure if I told you and Chris this or not. But according to the news article's time, I was on my way to work 5 minutes ahead of Lonnie that morning. I know I couldn't have changed the outcome, but it's sure hard for me not to think about the What-If's...Especially what if I had been running behind that morning?
Anyway, I'm thinking of your family. Please know that I love you guys and I empathize with your loss.
