Chris: I met Chris in South Carolina. We went to school
together. The day i first seen him he stood up on the cafe. table and mooned the school. From that day on I would walk by
him and say i seen ur butt!! One day he spun me around and sayid hi im Chris, what is ur name. I said Louise. and from then
on we wrote notes to each other.Their was on time i was being picked on by a guy and he had touched my chest. And him and
Chris started to fight and he hit chris. Thats when i went off and rolled him a corner and beat the crap outta him lol! Chris
picked up my stuff and walked me to my next class . The last day i seen Chris was on friday. He gave me a hug and
said ill see you monday.That monday i went into a impatient hospital to get help for cutting. When i returned home 4 days
later he was gone. Ill never forget the call. From a friend who knew i had a huge crush on him. her words were ... Louise
i have soemthign to tell u are u sitting down i said yes. She said you know that guy Chris right . I said yes. And she said
he died he killed himself . Tears ran down my face and i started to scream! I couldnt imagine school without my buddy/crush.
I had went to get help and at the time i felt like i didnt help him. I felt as tho i had left him alone!!! I went to his funeral
with a friend of mine Lacey . The song they played was go rest high by Vnce Gill . I was fine until the part where they say
"oh how we cried the day u left us .. gather round ur grave to greive". Thats when it hit me my Chris wasnt coming back EVER!
I burtsed into tears. My life had changed forever. and i had no clue as of how to accpet this. i had just left the hospital
myself and i was on the edge.how could i deal with this ?? how woudl i go on?? Thoughts of sucicide ran thru my head sitting
there. this boy was my crush and i never got to tell him. Why didnt i tell him?? The chance was gone!!!
People stood up at his funeral and told some of the things he said.
One person asked what are you going to be when You grow up and his respnce was Im not going to be here. They didnt know what
he was going to do. Also teacher got up in front of the service and read some papers he had written. He was a very funny
guy. Didnt ever think it could get to him liek it did ya kno! I still cry about 4 5 times a month. It was March 9, 2004 when
he died seems like yesterday. I really do miss him...

Travis: I met Travis when i started work at the Waffle House in South
Carolina. He was a exciting person. I didnt kno much about him. But when i worked with him he was the nicest person ever!!
I reamember one time we got to wear another shirt besides our usual uniform.Maybe for christmas... When he came in his shirt
was PINK!! lol!! It had gotten mixed up in his wash i guess! But he played it off. He was so funny had a come back for everything.
Sadly Travis was murdered by two people he knew. One was a very close friend whom i think he grew up with. He was strangled
to death and dumped in the woods and was left there for over a week. I just cant see how someone can do that!! I miss you
