It has been 6 years since she died...(please read and comment) -- LiveWire Teen Forums

Counting the number of reasons we became friends
Out numbers any fights we ever had
Understanding was one of your best traits
Realizing we would never get "him" as a high school date
Talking on the phone about boys all night keeping you company
Never thinking what if one day you wouldn't be here
Excited about our futures, middle school was going to be great
You were my best friend, never though I'd have to rely on pictures just to see your face

We had so many plans for the rest of our lives
Our sweet sixteens and learning how to drive

Lauren and I realize your life was cut way to short
You have touched more people then you realize, everything you have ever said when right to their hearts

We miss you so much, we will never forget
The late night hospital calls to talk about boys and the random visits just to say hi
You knew everyone, you were miss social butterfly

You had a bigger attitude than a diva herself
Its why we called you "Miss Thing"

We would turn on pink just to hear you sing
So many memories that will never be replaced

Courtney we miss you more than you can imagine
You are our angel, one we will never let go
Our tiny friend with wings that we will always of had the pleasure to know

You can rest now our dear friend
The pain has left you and gone away
Smile big and look out for us

We miss you Courtney Leigh
We love you forever and always
Love Ashley and Lauren <3

(notice the first part of the poem spells out her name)

Incase some of you don't know. Courntey Leigh Chacho was a very good friend of mine and my friend Laurens back in elementary school at Forest. She had always been sick her whole never. and as she would always say "she was special" She never knew what it was like to be a normal girl. She passed away in a hospital in New York on November 14th, 2002. We were in 5th grade. It was announced over the intercom during morning announcements. What hurt us the most was the fact that our best friends death was announced as if it was some normal everyday happening. Not only that, but we never got to say goodbye. I tried to be as tough as her and stay in school but I ended up breaking down and leaving right before lunch. So many other girls thought it was an easy way to get out of school so they started crying too. I knew that they didnt know her and were definatly not friends with her and thats what hurt me even more. How could you use my best friends death as a way to get out of school???? But anyway. She was amazing. She was a beautiful girl and always had something to say. She spoke her mind and especially her heart. We miss her so much. RIP baby girl <3
