(NOT FOR LITTLE KIDS) it'll be fun tho. please come tho people! the money goes to a good cause--Shop w/ a Cop. in case u don't kno, its where police officers from Springdale take under privilaged families shopping for Christmas. please do it for the children who won't (or will if you do come to the haunted house) get toys to play w/ on Christmas. Tuesday, Oct. 10, Brittaney Ann Allen of the Senior LPSA (class of '07) was killed in a car accident on her way home from her boyfriend's house in St. Paul. On Wednsday, Oct. 11, her Academy class was told of wat happened in Officer Hignite's zero hour class. During 1st hour, 2 juniors (class of '08) were told by a counsler. The two began to cry immediately. This was one of the girls first real experience w/ death. In 2nd hour, the junior Academy class had the news broken to them (tho most had already been told in 1st). Brittaney was loved very much by her peers, those who were in her class and those who weren't. Approx. 5 seniors stopped by to see how the Academy students and teachers were handling the death. Not good. Most of the students, especially those of her class, had left school before lunchtime. Brittaney's funeral was on Saturday, Oct. 14, at 4:00. Students of the Academy who graduated the year before, the students of Brittaney's class, the juniors and even the sophmores below her showed up at the funeral to pay their respects to those who were closest to her. Keli T. and Matt C. both spoke at the funeral. They read her mission statement from her portfolio. Officer Hignite also spoke on behalf of the Academy teachers who had the pleasure of having her in class. A few members of her family, including her grandmother, Jan Judy, spoke to the crowd that showed up to say good-bye to someone who shouldn't have been taken. The moral of this is story: please folks where your seatbelt. Brittaney was not wearing hers. She crashed her truck and was thrown from it. Had she been wearing her seatbelt she may still be w/ us today, but then again, maybe it was just time for her to go. God needed her to be in heaven tho i'm sure everyone would like her here. The girl had things to do in life that she will never get to do. It's sad because she was someone who was going places and getting there fast. Now God has her. She is an angel now. Hopefully, she'll be watching over us when we drive so that we don't get into an accident. She'll help keep us safe. Brittaney Ann Allen, you will be missed so much. You may never realise how many people truely loved you. They may not have said it to you everyday, but deep down in there hearts and in the back of their minds they were thinking it. They may not have realised it, but they were. You were a beautiful person, inside and out. You had a smile that could light up a room, literally. We all wish you were here, but we all know that you're w/ God now. You won't ever be forgotten, you left too big an impression on the people around you. We love you! And we miss you! I miss you. Good-bye, angel. |
