Crandon Shooting Victims Tribute

Im Speechless. I always hear about these things happening in other parts of the world, or see them in movies, but you never ever think it could actually happen to you. Ive had family members pass away, but i was never very close to them. This experience is entirely new and i dont ever want to go through something like this again. This thing, this experience, isnt just lasting a few hours, a few days, its going to be a long process, and im not looking forward to it. Nothing has been the same since sunday morning, its like reality left and is never coming back. This whole event is so surreal i have to remind myself im not having a nightmare. You look at ANYONE'S face in the town of crandon and you get the presence of depression, sadness, and shock. You see all the interviews and read all the articles from news channels and newspapers out of town and it makes you mad because they only hear about a thing like this. They're not actually going through it. Its amazing, as much as i hate to say that word at a time like this, but its amazing that one person can stir up a community, a nation, and change so many peoples lives in just a split second. Who cares if you werent close to anyone that has passed, you feel the pain in this town anyway, whether you want to or not. You cant get pass it.

My Brother could have been in that house, he could be gone right now, and i have never been this thankful in my life that he wasnt. I never thought i would be this blessed to still have him. This seems selfish, but i know how the family members of those lost are feeling. My brother lost two of his best best best best friends, being that, i grew up with those two boys. They were also like my brothers, watching out for me, protecting me,.....yelling at me when i did wrong....partying together, exchanging smiles. I hate thinking i can never do it again. They cant come back, i have to stop pretending. I hate the feeling. I have never felt such guilt in my life before. Im sooo speechless, but at the same time, i have so much to say..


Im going to miss Bradley Schultz and and Aaron Smith so much, its unbelievable. Ill never get to hear chunks laugh, that laugh...It was contagious! Ill never get to hear Bradley's stories of how many hott chicks hes picked up, or how he would describe his love for my mom, "i mean me!" Im going to miss seeing Lianna and Katrina and Lindsey in school, and im really going to miss seeing Jordanne. She was the nicest girl I've ever known, nothing but smiles. And Tyler, my brother and all his friends were close to him, they loved him and still do. Theres nothing but the point, what he did was wrong, but he can be forgiven.

Rest in Peace .Bradley. Aaron. Jordanne. Lianna. Katrina. Lindsey. Tyler.

You are never forgotten, and always loved.
