Shilo and Micah Edwards

So yesterday we went to a Funeral of Jason's cousins. They were both killed in a car accident the friday after my sisters accident. They were very very beautiful girls and their funeral was very emotional for all who attended. It was devestating for their mom to go from one casket to the next and it was very heart breaking to watch. I just wanted to reach out and hug her but I don't know her very well. there were so many people there to show their love and support, it filled up the entire church gym plus some. Although their family is mourning their loss, they were in good spirits, they were making jokes and remembering the good times they had with the girls. everyone who spoke said these girls were near perfect and it makes sense to me. It may be weird but it is so wonderful to me to think that they are teaching others the gospel right now. They are continuing the work from the other side and I know they are doing it well. Shilo( brown hair) was going to be proposed to the night after she died. I feel for her Fiance and hope he will be well. It was a very touching funeral service, balloons were released at their gravesight and I think it was perfect. i pray that the familys hearts may heal.

THAT IS SO SAD! I can't believe your sister got in a horrible car crash, and then his cousins! I can't imagine that happening, and her poor poor fiance!

Did these girls go to Snow College?

I'm sick with sadness for them. I'm so sorry and they're in my prayers, too. At times like these, it's good to know our families are sealed for eternity so we can be reunited again.

I am Micah and Shilo's Aunt Billie. Yes they were going to Snow College. Snow College is going to give both girls their diplomas. I still can't believe that this has happened and we have lost them. I am grateful for all the wonderful things that people have been doing for my brother's family to help them through this time.

I worked with Micah at the Post Office and I just wanted to tell her family I am sorry for their loss. She was an amazing girl who was a friend to everyone she met. She was always happy and we had long wonderful chats. She adored her neice and she loved her family deeply.
