In Memory

!-¤Ibbie's Place¤-!

This page is dedicated to five wonderful people. Two are no longer with us...one is slowly becoming himself again...and the other two are at school and doing great...for the most part. Darius Clay Wooldridge and Shannon Dale Tarkington died almost a year ago in a vehicle wreck in the center of my home town. August 23, 2003...one year ago this coming Monday. It still doesn't seem real that they're gone. It especially doesn't seem like it has been a year. Jeremy 'Jerms' Eubank was also seriously injured. He was in a coma for a while...once he woke up they brought him home. Now he's working on walking and talker stronger. He's slowly getting better everyday and I have faith that in time he'll 110% better. Brandon 'Skip' Shipman and Zach 'Dill' Dill were among the five and also injured pretty badly. Zach is fully recovered, but Brandon is still having knee problems. Darius & Shannon, I love & miss you two so much and I'm so thankful for having the oppurtunity to know you. Skip, Dill, n Jerms...you're amazingly strong people and I'm so glad that you made it through all this.

This page is also dedicated to others that have passed away...

Darius-You were so awesome. I know that I'll never forget you, and neither will anyone else. I hadn't even really started talking to you until last summer...so I hadn't known you very well for very long. I'm glad for the time I did get to know you though. You were an amazing person and awesome basketball player. You were the life of the school and the life of this town. You were always making someone laugh. I'll never forget the wonderful memories you gave me. I'll miss you poking me with that dumb krutch or seeing you in that Jeep, crusin town. And I'll especially miss that big smile you always had. I love you so much and I miss you. You will be in our hearts forever. Bye, D.

Shannon- I've known you since I was little bitty. But I never really started talking to you either until last summer. I have some pretty funny memories of you though. Like you in my doorway at 9:00 am with Jared and Holden. I swear...you picked a perfect day to come. There were like 10 girls there. Haha. I'm gonna miss you. Your perfect hair and how you always dressed nice and how the girls always stared when you would walk by. You were always working to make someone happy. I don't remember seeing you without a smile on your face. I'm gonna miss seeing you riding around with Jared, or working on someone's yard. You were an amazing person! I love you and I miss you. Bye, Shan.

Here are some more pictures!

If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, we'd walk straight up to Heaven, and bring you home again.
