Remembering Cragin

Today's memorial service for Cragin at school was beautiful.
It is amazing to me, how a group of 500 students, that only recently met, can care so much for one another!

Cragin, you gave so much to this community and helped it become this special place!
I miss you, as we all do!
As Rachel put it: Everyone was funnier, smarter and kinder when you were around!

Machs gut Cragin!


She is Gone
You can shed tears that she is gone,
or you can smile because she lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her only that she is gone,
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what she'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
