Ailish thinks that's a great idea! In fact, she still makes those! She also mentioned the ones you can make with hemp and beads. Great! Thanks. Thanks for all your thoughts, guys. This is really rough for them. Any small way I can help I'll do it.

All the above suggestions I think would be great for her.
I do hope she feels better.

Aquarius, strangely enough, is actually an Air sign rather than a water sign...
Normal flowers might die, but a nice silk arangement won't! My thoughts and prayers!

I'm back! Vacation was great. Spent most of the time at the beach house and for once I didn't get burnt!
I arrived in DC on the 11th.. We walked around for about 2 hours but my fiance and I headed back to the hotel early because we were dead tired having been up for about 48 hours. The wedding was on the 12th. It was beautiful. Great food and tons of dancing. I was forced onto the dance floor a couple of times. *can't dance if her life depended on it*
We drove up to Ocean City, New Jersey on the 13th where they had a beach house rented for a week. We hung out. I got a henna tattoo on my wrist of a flower. Had tons of fun. I had to wear FPS 45 so I wouldn't get burned. We headed back to his grandparents house on the 19 where we had a big dinner and flew out on the 20th.
The flight sucked! I had flying.. I get flight sickness. Not fun..
And here I am
And I now I am taking ownership of Hunter back.. He's in my pocket as I type.

The girl passed away yesterday. She was only 15. The doctors said this was the most aggressive tumor they've ever seen. She was really suffering and I suppose she's in a better place now, but it's just so sad. It doesn't feel real yet. When I was on the phone with her mom today offering my condolences, we weren't crying like I had expected. I was so afraid to make the call, not sure what to say, how to react, what to expect... But we were both completely calm on the phone. It was weird. I think I'm going to get the surviving sister a locket that she can put a picture in, but again, I'm worried about what a teen will find fashionable.

Damn, that's really sad news. It's a strange feeling when someone you know passes. They're here one minute and the next they're gone. It's hard to comprehend when someone so young dies. It's difficult to know what to say...but I'm sure they appreciated the phone call and all you did for her.
My thoughts and prayers are with her family and with you too, Raven.

Raven, my son gave his girlfriend (when they were teens) a Black Hills gold locket. It was reasonably priced and unusual because of the combination of white, yellow and rose gold. He got a heart-shaped locket, there also was an oval available. Shopko stocks them, I don't know if you have any Shopkos in your area, but you can try on-line.
I am sorry for your loss. It is not unusual to act the way you and her mom did on the phone. It hasn't sunk in yet...doesn't feel real. When it does, you'll cry and mourn.

Raven, I know personally how difficult and awkward things feel. Right now everyone is in shock. What a huge blessing the family has you as a friend. You are the best!
