My aunt was killed today...

Today at around 1:30 PM a phone call came in from my Uncle (Dad's brother) and he asked for Mom. I got Mom and Mom went in the kitchen and basically Mark said "You need to get down here to Mom and Dad's house" (Granny and Papaw's) and he said that my aunt Jane was in a car wreck earlier this morning and she died. I didn't hear what he was saying but I was in the hall and I had heard Mom talking and crying so I ran in there and when she got off the phone she told me and I just stood there blurting out stuff like "Oh my God. Oh my God. Are you kidding me?" So after we had time to compose ourselves Mom and I drove to Dad's work and went in and got the supervisors to bring him out (Mom wasn't going to tell Dad over the phone because she didn't want him driving home if he was going to be a mess--that'd just be another wreck waiting to happen) and Mom was crying when Dad walked out into the front lobby and told him and he just couldn't comprehend it. It didn't hit him. You know when you hear a bit of bad news but it doesn't hit you straight away? That's how it was with him.
So to spare the details of over Granny and Papaw's house, we don't have MANY details on what happened but we know that Jane was driving to or from her boyfriend's house and we don't know if she wasn't paying attention or she hit an ice patch but she got over into the oncoming lane and hit a cement truck and she died instantly. No one in the family is recommended to see the vehicle after the wreck and she will not have an open-casket, she's supposedly too badly tore up. 🙁
Just two weeks ago I was at a Valentines Dance with some family and she was dancing and having a good time. I just can't comprehend it. She was one of the best people on planet earth and I really can't understand why today was her time...
And what's worse is that she won't be having an open casket and I feel that I can't "get closure" without seeing her, you know? I'm never going to see my Aunt Jane ever again....

Sorry to hear that.

My condolences go out to you and your family.

🙁 That's horrible. I'm terribly sorry.

Yeah, it is really terrible, it's always so hard when you lose someone so suddenly without a chance to say goodbye 😬

Time will ease the pain.

Just remember things like the Valentines dance and all that good stuff, it will help you 🙂

I appreciate all three of your comments. Thanks Piggle, I know we haven't got along at ALL over the time I've been here and thank you for coming in here and giving kind words. 🙂

new year, new me, the old me is gone and I'd like to take this opportunity to apologise for the old me and anything the old me said 😮

Anyways, my sympathy goes out to you and your family at this really hard time.

I'm really sorry to hear your loss, Kelly. If you ever need someone to talk to, please, feel free to talk to me.

My aunt Melissa recently passed away due to cancer, and I can hardly believe that I won't be seeing her ever again. She was the nicest person, and... I know how you feel.

That's... terrible. hug Hope you and your family will get through this period of time, & my condolences.
Like Piggle said, just think of the good times.
She may not be with you in person, but she'll always be with you in your heart.

Tomorrow I'll be going for funeral clothes and all of that. I believe the closed-casket and prayer will be Sunday and Monday will be burial. That's gonna be so tough...

Sorry to hear this Kelly, my deepest sympathy for your families loss.
