Hi everyone,

 

I don't usually post about news events, but this one just really hit me. It happened a few days ago, and is fairly close to where I live.

 

Here's two articles about what happened:

Basically, she was tubing, and getting pulled by a boat operated by her friends. The propellers hit her body, killing her.

 

It really saddens me to think that she had a whole life ahead of her, and only for it to end so fatally. I can't imagine what her family and friends are going through. Unfortunately things like this happen more often than we think, and we don't always hear about it.

 

I know that I'm going to keep her and her family in my thoughts, and hopefully she's in a better place. Rest in Peace Emily Fedorko.

 

That's all,

What a horrible way to go. Like you said, she had a whole life ahead of her. I'll keep the family in mind. R.I.P Emily Fedorko

Such a shame. She looked like such a happy girl. She was an honor roll student and a gymnast. She really did have a life ahead of her. Rest in Peace.

Really sad story. She was a pretty and promising girl too. Thoughts go to her close circles. Such a waste almost angers you.

Couldn't have said it better myself, she was very beautiful and it's a huge waste. It saddens me.

It troubles me to hear of such events, especially when it's nearby.

Because there aren't too many details in this story, I'm not sure if this applies; however, I've noticed with a lot of these types of articles that some aren't being as careful as they should be and lose sight of the dangers that exist.

It is my sincere hope that we as society will adapt to prevent such cases from happening by being more cautious in the future.

My thoughts also go out to her family, and may Ms. Fedorko rest in peace.

It's a shame that this happened to her, what a terrible way to go, RIP ;(

 

Things like this happen every day, unfortunately.

I almost saw this happen to a kid many years ago. If it wasn't because the propeller had a nozzle there had happen a real bloody mess, quite literally.

Shame. It's never easy to go through something like that.

That's terrible. Rest in peace Emily.
