Dancing with angels

This post is extremely hard to write, and I’m not even sure my words can fully encompass all of my emotions right now.  One of my sweet former cheerleaders went to be with God on Friday night.

Nicole was one of my cheerleaders from 2007-2009.  Friday night her family was coming home from spring break in Galveston when they were hit by a drunk driver.  Nicole joined the angels in heaven while her little brother and sister both sustained massive injuries and are currently still in ICU.  Her mom broke her back and shoulder but has been released to tend to her younger siblings.  Her dad did not sustain any injuries, and her older brother and sister were not with the family in Galveston.

Nicole was a freshman at Katy High School, a member of the volleyball team and a manager for the softball team.  She planned to tryout for cheerleader next month and was on the honor roll.  While at KJH she was a cheerleader, involved in athletics and theatre.  She truly was the student everyone described as “always having a smile on her face.”  She was named All-Star Cheerleader her 8th grade year.

Hey Girl! I dealt with this early this year with one of my former cheerleaders, Taylor Contreras. It gets easier day by day, but with lots of comfort. Knowing that she is in a better place is a great place to look for comfort. You will see her again someday!! She is "cheering" you on through life now.
