Yesterday was so hard. No one should have to go to their friends wake in high school. I thought going would give me some closure and I would be able to say goodbye but it's almost the opposite. I was a mess as well as all my other friends, I couldn't even watch a slideshow of her pictures. The video of her singing just fueled my growing sorrow and anger that this could happen. I thought maybe I would realize that this is all real but I just couldn't. I could barely look at her in her in her gorgeous prom dress. It still doesn't feel real. But I do know for a fact this is not goodbye, like I thought it would be. She's still here with me, here with us.

Maren

It's been a few days. I'm still in shock. Maren and I weren't the closest, but we did recently get close in the JLaw Drama club. You've been the kindest, sweetest girl I've known, ever since we met in middle school. You probably always will be. I will miss you dearly, sweet baby.

Maren

As many of you know, I moved to Milford during my freshman year and started going to Law during sophomore year. In that time, Maren has always been the nicest, most caring person I have ever had the pleasure of being friends with. Yesterday, a friend asked me to help her make sense of all if this in a spiritual manner and me, not being incredibly well verse in the bible, immediately thought back to a conversation Maren and I had about a week earlier. We were discussing movies, as we often did, and a movie we both liked had come up known as Pulp Fiction. In the movie there was a fake bible verse known as Ezekiel 25:17 which is what I consider my favorite movie quote of all time. The quote is “The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness for he is truly his brothers keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers, and you will know my name is The Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee”. Maren followed the path of the righteous. She was always helping others, no matter who they were. She was the shepherd who brought weak through the valley of darkness but unfortunately, selfish inequities and evil tyranny disguised themselves as a longtime friend and wound up cutting short such a precious life. Now God is her shepherd and she has been brought through the valley of darkness that was her death and is back on that path of righteousness. She is happy where she is and it’s because of the outpouring of love everyone has shown. And as for Gods vengeance, it will be felt by the perpetrator. Maybe he deserves it, maybe he doesn’t, but that’s up to God and that’s up to the courts. God bless and rest in peace Maren.

I miss you Maren. I miss you radiating happiness over anyone that was around you. I miss you being so good at whatever and all you were doing that you made being class president, honors student, talent show winner, swim team manager, drama club kid, and friend to anyone who needed one look easy. You did so much more than all those things too, I don’t understand how you remained sane. It was just because you’re Maren. I’ll always admire your passion about anything that was put in front of you, no one could fill your shoes. You made me feel fearless, just the tone of your voice when you would laugh and say “then TAKE A SQUAT girl!” When I had to pee so bad that one night we went to a park in the middle of no where, which was YOUR idea by the way. I’m already thinking to you Maren, talking to you inside my head as if you can hear me. It blows my mind how you’re affecting my thought process. When I’m alone and I talk out loud, I’m not just talking to myself like I’m crazy anymore, I’m talking to you Maren. I’ll never forget our memories together, memories like this night, memories from elementary/middle/high school, memories from the drama club when you were the first one there and the last one to leave. You helped paint the set right after you got your freaking nails done for prom Maren! Anyone else would have skipped out. You were so dedicated. And I’ll never forget the childhood memories from all the neighborhood kid hangouts. We would all meet by your house, your house was the center of it all. I remember Miranda and I meeting up to walk to your house and talking about what we were going to do that day. I remember you taking pictures of us for that one story you were writing. I remember you telling me I was beautiful after I pointed out a flaw I found in myself, like my freckles or my chubby cheeks or how I hated the way my hair was growing in. And when you said “Hey girl, shut up you’re beautiful.” I would actually start believing it. You had that kind of power Maren. You touched all your friends and families hearts in ways that will never be forgotten. Everyone who met you or even knew of you knows that you were the most gorgeous girl with a heart of gold. I know we’re not alone, you’re here with us crying and laughing. You’re still here with us every day. Thank you for last night, when you made “Home” show up on the game “heads up” we were all together playing. You brought us all together in that moment, all of your friends no matter how different we are are together now for you and you know it. Your smiling face is shown in every one of our faces. Thank you so much for being there, always.
