Thanks for the vibes/thoughts/prayers

I really appreciate you all for sending vibes, thoughts, and prayers our way. I just got home from a visit to the funeral home. As I anticipated, my best friend from high school, the sister, fell apart upon my arrival. Her mom did as well. They both are having a really difficult time with this. The dad is able to hold things together a little better, but I know he's breaking to pieces inside. It's just a really sad situation. Noah told his mom on Friday that he was going to ask Kelsie to marry him and that he loved her - then died tragically on Saturday. They are both in the same room at the funeral home, and it's impossible to park within a quarter mile because there are people in fields and other parking lots already. The line out of the building is insane, and none of them want to do this for three days. Kelsie will be buried in her prom dress, and all of her friends are wearing green Converses, her chosen shoe for school and her upcoming prom, for her funeral. I just ask that you keep these people in your thoughts because no one is dealing with it very well at all - which is expected I guess. You girls are great and very supportive, and I really appreciate that more than you'll ever know. I'm hoping that I can get some sleep tonight because I feel horrible for my friend and her family and need to be there for them.
