On August 21, 2013, was a very normal day for me. It was the beginning of the school year, just starting to learn my 7th-grade class at Washington Middle school. As the long confusing day ended, I met up with my friend Sophie after school. We were neighbors, so my dad would take us to school and her dad would take us home. After I got home my sister was there and we hung out until my mom and dad got home with dinner. My dad got home first and was sitting downstairs like usual.

We left the next day to go down to Door County Wisconsin. All my cousins, aunts, uncles, and more were there. We went to the wake it was so long I didn't know she knew so many people. She also has five kids with lots of friends! The next day was the funeral which wasn't quite as long but still very
