Ah shit





I guess I like to be a straightforward kind of person.

 Alexzandra Lee Trujillo died yesterday morning in a single car rollover south of Kimball.

 She was my fiance, my betrothed.

 Only a few short months ago I fell into her eyes and color came back into my world.

 She's gone now, but the color remains. I have a feeling it'll stick around.

 You all know the standard admonishments. You've all read my opinions about livin.'


 Be well and embrace the blessings of liberty.

    Oh, my God. Words cannot express my sorrow. Just when everything was looking so wonderful for all of you, with so much wonderful life ahead of you as a family.
    My prayers are with you, and those utterly adorable kids, and all the other friends and family stunned by this sudden disaster.

    May God comfort you all and bring new happiness in the future.

    Life goes on. Fences still need fixing, and you will overcome this, just as you have overcome the loss of shipmates and family in the past.
    SO.VERY.SORRY.
    May God bless you all in this time of sorrow.

    I just read about this through Borepatch.

    May Hashem comfort you, and for all the pain, recall that she was in your life and gave it color.

    I am truly sorry to hear about this. I will add you to my prayers tonight, and say the Mourner's Kaddish for her as well.
