Just a word of sympathy for IBD and all the family. We fly into Destin from Tennessee and hate to hear of any one losing loved ones this way.
We'll be keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

My friend Lisa in Ohio just sent this to me. Though she knew none of the parties involved, as a frequent visitor to South Walton, she knows what a tight knit community we are, and wished to pass along this poem along with her condolences to the family and friends.

My First Christmas in Heaven

I see the countless Christmas Trees, around the world below
With tiny lights like heaven?s stars, reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away your tears,
For I am sharing Christmas, with Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs, that people hold so dear,
But the sounds of music can?t compare, with the Christmas choir here.
I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,
It?s far beyond description, to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me. I see the pain within your heart,
But I am not so far away. We really aren?t apart.
So be happy for me, loved ones. You know I hold you dear,
And be glad I?m spending Christmas, with Jesus Christ this year.

I send you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above.
I send you each a memory, of my undying love.
After all ?Love? is the gift, more precious than pure gold.
It was always most important, in the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do,
For I can?t count the blessing, or the love he has for you.
So, have a Merry Christmas, and wipe away those tears,
For I am sharing Christmas, with Jesus Christ this year.

that's a lovely poem. I attended a funeral this morning and also heard it there.

If anyone needs IBD's address you may pm me or email olbunnyfunn@aol.com

our love goes out to you...anything we can do..

Anyone got an update on our sweet girl and her family? I just can't imagine what she's going through down here. Any info on services or if someone will be with them for Christmas? I just wish there was something I could do.

Well, it doesn't help the pain for IBD (that'll take forever to subside -- been there), but is anyone organizing meals? I mean, people in pain need to eat, but they don't feel like cooking or going out. Is there anyone who lives in SoWal who could organize a signup sheet for meals? I'll be there next week and could sign up.

They are receiving food, and one of her sister's good freinds is doing an awesome job of keeping everything straight. A sign up sheet may be a good idea- I will pass it along tomorrow.

IBD is one incredible gal y'all- we saw her today and she is my hero. Keep the good wishes coming her way.

Jenny and I are working closely with the family/friends to organize meals. also, they have friends who are working very hard to organize and take care of all needs. no sign up sheet needed. just do what you can.

IBD is so appreciative of her sowal support. those were her first words to me today - she was so aware and thankful for all of you. she knows your concern and she loves you all for it.

I'm in awe of IBD - she continues to be a loving mother and wife, while at the same time she is already honoring the memory of her mother and sister as she recalls stories and goes through hundreds of photos. IBD was so beautiful today when I saw her, - what an awesome woman. She is my new hero. I want to be like her when I grow up...

I can't tell you how much she hurts, but I can tell you she is wonderful in every way. Mr. IBD, what can I say about our spam man, other than the fact that he is just as wonderful as his bride. I'm honored to know them both.

Okay, just let me know. I can cook up something when we get there.

Rebecca you have been constantly in my thoughts today -- and it's obvious I'm not the only one. (((Hugs))) to you today.

Thanks for the updates toots and jdarg, and for doing such a great job representing all SoWallers.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss IBD, know that I am praying for you and that The Lord will wrap his arms around you and comfort you.

hey everyone.

oh my gosh, another way that Kurt has saved my life.
All of you, even people that I do not know personally have touched me.
OMG, the poem. Thank you Drunnkenartist and .

Mr ibd parents came in this afternoon. I am sooooooo lucky to have such great in laws. Mr ibd's dad has always been my dad (my father passed away in 1987) and now his mom is my mom. Mr. ibd's sister, husband and my cute nephew will be here tues or wed. :clap_1:

I have no idea on where to begin on what to tell you. The media is calling and I dont know who has talked to them. The sheriffs office in Washinton county has been great :clap_1: . What a job they have ahead of them. The FAA? is still investigating and it may take several more days I believe.

Services, gosh how do you plan two???? I am still deciding on where to have my moms. My sisters will be here, not sure where though.

My sisters husband is home and LOST without her. Those of you who knew him knew how lucky he was to have her and they were so much in love. His family is here and with him.

Thanks to everyone who did WHAT THEY DID, and you know what I mean.

I am coping, I am a strong person and will get through this. I have to for little IBD.

I am a God fearing person and believe that my Saviour did this for a reason. I am good with that. It does not take away the pain but I know that is what my Creator wanted, I believe that he needed them.

Times will get rough before they get better and knowing that I have all of you guys out there make it bearable.

Thanks and I love you all, and Kurt, this is a great thing you have created here. I could NEVER repay you for what you have given me via this board.

Merry Christmas everyone. Tommorow (Sunday) we are baking Christmas cookies, watching movies and having funn!!! That is what my mother and sister would have wanted me to do.

Salute (and more hugs) to the warm community of South Walton

Dear IBD,

You have touched me in a way that will change me forever. Your letter to us made me feel like I was sitting with you. I sit here with tears that are a mixture of grief, awe and hope. I know many of us have been thinking "how in the world would someone get through this". Now I know. With a great spirit and an unwavering faith. You are so blessed and I am blessed to know you.

P.S. Tell my little friend, little ibd, that Miss Kitty is coming to town and can't wait to see her!

For such a small community, Inlet Beach seems to have more than its share of sad events. A couple of years ago our neighbor who owned the house two doors down from us was killed in a car accident.

I am sure that everyone who lives or owns in Inlet Beach, as we do, shares sadness at your loss. No words can make things better, but just know that we are thinking of you and hoping that you find the strength to cope with this personal tragedy.

IBD, thank you for the update. Enjoy baking cookies and spending time with those who love you dearly. When I read your post,my eyes filled with tears. You will survive this and treasure all the good memories you have. I will still lift you in prayer each time I think of you the next few weeks. BLessings on your day!

IBD is my new hero! Just know we are all thinking about you and your family. We love you very much! Hug little IBD for me!

Her reply has teared me up also, especially the words about her sister's husband being all lost without her, and how much in love they were, and god needing her mother and sister. How strong she is. IBD, I am thinking about you. Take care.
