In about a week and a half, friends, family, strangers, and anyone who's lost a loved one in a drunk driving crash will be gathering on one night for the "Remembering Karen" Candlelight Vigil at Cazenovia Park in South Buffalo.
For me, it's been several weeks of work, all for a good cause of course. After all, if I didn't love my sister and think about her and the tragic loss daily, I wouldn't be working as hard as I do to fight drunk driving. As for the event, there have been sponsors to recruit, a public access system to acquire power for, recruiting volunteers, lining up the speakers, working on the program, and getting the word out to everyone in the community. Without the help of friends and family, I wouldn't have been able to do as much as I have.
One of the things that I'm trying to do tonight is pick the right song to fit the occasion. How do you pick the right words to sum up so many emotions that many will be feeling on that night 10 years after Karen was killed? How do you pick just the right lyrics that will make everyone think of their loved one who was tragically lost in such a preventable crime?
I'm headed back to the search for the perfect song now...so wish me luck!
Thanks,
Deanna

Deanna,
It won't allow me to contact you from my computer, but if you need any help with the vigil or during this final week please feel free to call me. I can't believe it has been 10 years. Good luck picking out a song. Your sister would be very proud of you.
Love,
