    Sad Week

    Got a call last Sunday from my boss telling me his 10 year old son had died in a atv accident. So after a long week in the shop the funeral was on Friday.I had a chance to grab a few shots of a memorial in the same cemetery.

    It must be in the air, a 16 yo girl was found strangled on a ATV trail up the road from my house. Life can be cruel.

    How can I be lost
    If I've got nowhere to go?

    That's terrible. When I was about 14 or so, one of my classmates died in an ATV accident. It was absolutely devastating to everyone.

    My thoughts are with your friend's family.

    Devastating is a perfect description of the effect on the family and its weird how different members of the family show grief. 2 of our Friends have lost a children, they were inconsolable.

    My heart goes out to the family even though I don't know them.

    Sorry about this but what is an ATV?
