I am sooooo sorry to hear that. My youngest daughter is 19 as well, and I cannot imagine the grief of losing her.

I will be praying for you and am going to ping a few others to do so as well.

Prayer ping for post 35.

We thank you and all who have responded on this thread for your prayers. They are indeed, amongst the most powerful things in this universe. I have felt quite distinctly that the Lord has been with us, and making His presence known so that we might draw strength from Him. I know that my daughter is with Him, which is really all we can ask.

She died in a car crash. We have been asking for prayers for the driver of the car, Melissa be remembered in people's prayers as well. She will carry a heavy burden even though it was just an accident that might have been avoided with a more experienced driver. She was my daughter Hope's friend and as such will find no condemnation here.

Hope was a beautiful and talented young lady, and we'll miss her until we meet again. She had a youtube channel here

Thanks again everyone. Free Republic is such a great place! I really didn't mean to hijack this thread. For me right now, FR has been a place to escape a little from other thoughts.
