spyderpancake Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 While at work today, my girlfriend called me to say that she had just found out that one of our friends from college had died tragically. She was good friends with Colleen and they lived in the same little city in Michigan. She had just graduated college in May and was having some personal problems, dealing with a breakup and depression. Colleen had been trying to get in touch with her for a week but she wasn't returning calls, and today they saw her name in the obituaries, so Colleen left work to go to the funeral-she is taking it really hard. We're not sure but it was probably suicide. Please pray for Colleen and the Whipple family. She was a 22 year artist, just getting started in life. This type of thing reminds us to notice the people around you, be willing to listen, and never hesitate to say "I Love You" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUDRUNNER Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 You got it Spydee,that's awefull news.I just can't see what would be so bad that a person would want to take their own life.A buddy of mine from high school did it just a few months ago and left behind two beautifull daughters. Your right,it never hurts to listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyderpancake Posted August 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Thanks for all your prayers...Colleen is pretty overwhelmed with it all, Lori lived less than a mile from her and they went running together and talked a lot...One of the worst parts of it all is that nobody from the family contacted her ex-boyfriend(they broke up earlier in the summer). He lives in Arizona and i guess they partly blame him, so Colleen had to notify him-he couldn't even come to the funeral. Add another person to the list to pray for-pray that he doesn't blame himself too much...i think it will be harder on him than anyone....Colleen left him a message last night, and is going to talk to him today-that is going to be hard with all that she is dealing with anyway. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
