Halle's Honor Speech for School

On average 13,000 people are killed per year due to alcohol related accidents.  In Minnesota one year there were 131 deaths and in Wisconsin 251 deaths.  These are not just numbers, these are not just statistics, these are 13,000 people who once had great lives surrounded by people who loved them and who now mourn for them.  My aunt Christine Flaherty is someone worth honoring and remembering in a big way.  Christine is not just some number, she was like a second mother to me and it kills me to know that she someday may only be a statistic in a book.  Chrissy’s laughter was infectious; her smile warm, inviting and her heart was the best beyond a question of a doubt.  It would be an honor to be half the person Chrissy was. more....

I'm Sorry

It's just a place to come to,so I can show my love. I know that you're not here now, you're with the Lord above but its all that I have left now. It's where we said goodbye. I like to come and bring a flower and have a little cry. I know it will never bring you back again, but as I walk away, I feel I've spent some time with you, and it brightens up my day.
Chrissy, I am so sorry. I love you, and if I could turn back time I'd swap our places just so you would be back on earth again but we'll be together in the end, so I hope you're the one who holds the gates open for me.
All my love
Your big brother

Happy Birthday Chrissy!
