Asheville blogger Supermom has been writing about the impact of the death of a local teen on her teen daughter. A memorial service was held Thursday for Evan Burchell, who died on Sunday in a terrible car wreck on Bear Creek Road. About 400 people attended the service for the 18-year-old, who had just graduated from Erwin High School.
Here’s just one small sample of Supermom’s touching posts about the accident and its impact. Read more at theadventuresofsupermom.com:
This has been a very difficult time for my family. I know our grief doesn’t compare to that of this young man’s family because we still have our daughter alive. But his death has left my daughter heartbroken. This young man is someone she was interested in and he was interested in her.
I know it is extremely hard on H because they had their first date Friday. I can remember when he left the house, after watching TV with us, she was all giggly wanting to know what we thought of him. In fact it was her first “real” date, being allowed to be alone with someone.
I cannot imagine how she must feel now.
