it's rare anymore that i will even write something, let alone feel the inspiration to write anything anymore. It just dosn't to entertain me as it used to, but i believe that this an acasion of utmost importance. So please take a moment to read, or at least skim what i have to say.

First, to start this off, please read or skim this article. i will explain more later.

(March 6, 2007) — Relatives of a 17-year-old Dundee girl traveled to Yates County on Monday after the girl's parents and only sibling were killed in a weather-related crash Sunday, officials said.

"It's pretty sad," said Yates County Sheriff Ronald G. Spike. "There are a lot of legal issues to sort out. Somebody has to be the guardian."

Timothy A. Freeland, 45, Kerry S. Freeland, 37, and Russell A. "Rusty" Freeland, 13, were all pronounced dead at the scene of the accident, which happened about 3 p.m. on Route 14A in the town of Barrington, Spike said.

The Freelands had dropped off their daughter, Samantha Freeland, at a friend's house and were taking their son to a movie in Penn Yan when the car collided with a pickup just south of Hobson Road near the Windmill Farm and Craft Market, Spike said.

The Freelands were traveling north when Timothy Freeland lost control on a patch of snow, Spike said. The compact car spun into the southbound lane, striking the front of a full-size pickup with the right side of the car, Spike said. Russell and Kerry Freeland were ejected from the car. Kerry Freeland was in the front seat wearing a seatbelt and it appears that Russell was in the back seat without one, Spike said.

"It was a horrendous collision," he said.

Two people in the truck suffered minor injuries. Spike said they were returning from the movie theater that the Freelands were driving toward.

Counselors helped students, faculty and staff at the Dundee Central School try to cope with the death of their friend in the seventh grade Monday and will return today, said Nancy Zimar, the district's superintendent.

"We're a small school and very much a family," she said. "When you lose one child, everyone is impacted."

Kathy Ring, principal of the Dundee elementary school, described Russell as a precocious boy who loved to tell stories, learn about animals and draw Pokemon characters.

"He was a bright young man with many talents," she said. "He loved to engage people in conversation."

Ring used to keep a white-lipped tree frog in her office that Russell volunteered to feed each day. He named it Dewey because it rhymed with gooey, and he taped a list of handling instructions to the side of the glass case, which sits on Ring's windowsill.

"Have wet hands," he wrote. "When (you are) done, don't put hands in your mouth."

Chase Magee, program director at the Dundee Area Youth Center, where Russell was a regular visitor, remembered how the young boy liked to tell detailed stories.

In one tale, Russell recounted how when he was 4 years old, he sat on a porch at a vacation campsite and watched his father mow the lawn. Russell included the fact that he was sipping a drink that had a little hat in it.

The story ended with Timothy Freeland running over a beehive with the mower and screaming at the surprise discovery. Magee laughed as he remembered Russell's imitation of the scream.

Spike said Timothy Freeland had lived in Steuben County until recently reuniting with his family in Dundee. Kerry Freeland managed the bookstore at Keuka College, said Dee Anderson, an elder at the First Presbyterian Church of Dundee.

Kerry Freeland had been an elder at the church for many years before she recently began attending another church, Anderson said. "She was a very caring person."

Anderson said Kerry Freeland never sought recognition for her good deeds. She enjoyed helping the children in the church.

"She was one of those people who was happy to stay in the background and help," she said.

Ring said Samantha Freeland is a junior in the high school and peer counselor for elementary school students. Anderson said Samantha Freeland's closest friends and relatives are helping her deal with the loss.

"I just can't imagine the feeling of being the only one left," she said.

If you read it enough, you should have gotten the basic jist that 3 people died in a horrible car accident last sunday. However, how does that truthfully apply to me or any of you. For those of you reading that go to Keuka, you should understand what im talking about, but for those of you that don't let me fill you in as much as i can. To put it simply Kerry was the manager of our bookstore and she died ever so suddenly and horribly with her husband and 13 year old son. She however left behind her daughter who is only 17. so why should I should I care? It has nothing to do with me, i barely know the lady, but i have met her a few times going to the bookstore and such.. To put it simply,The truth is you should all care, no matter if you know her or not.

Ive been trying to come to terms with it as much as i possibly can. In an instance someone i have recently talked to in some way just vanishes from this earth along with her husband and her 13 year old son. I mean...it's almost unbelievable, i really have no words to express what my feelings are right now for this situation. and to make things even worse in this situation, the left behind there 17 year old daughter to survive alone in this world. I really...god i have no words for this situation at all. i really have no idea what to think about it at all. I don't need to know these people at all to feel this way. However id like to hear your opinions on a few things..if you do plan on commenting on this at all i would to hear your opinion and answers to these questions.

1) What if someone tomorrow came to you and told you that your whole family was dead. How would you feel? what would you do? how would you react? let me know anything that you can think of for this situation

2) what do you think of the situation in itself? what would you like to say t Samantha(the daughter) if you could?

If someone where to come to me tomorrow and tell me that my family was completely dead, i wouldn't probably know what to do, and i probably would completely deny it at first. Probably what samantha is doing now, she probably still to this day has not fully come to terms with what has completely happened. And she probably won't for a while. I just wouldn't know what to think at all, i would regret so much also. I am at the moment becoming closer by the day with my family, and things just seem to slowly be falling into place with them. And if one day that all just vanished, i don't think i could ever forgive myself for doing some of the things i have done. I plan on getting close with my family and if that where to be taken away without doing it, it would be horrible to mental well being. I could never forgive myself for not taking the time to do it sooner. Espically at this age, we probably beleive that parents know nothing, and are truthfully stupid about everythig, but as we grow up we tend to realize how smart they really are. and i think thats an important thing. i really don't know what to say about poor samantha...i really have no words to describe how she must feel right now.

So everyone, i encourage you to really start getting close to your family, and important friends because everyday is important. And one day, without even realizing it, it may be gone. so always tell people you feel and let them know how much you care, cause it is always important. live life to it's fullest everyone, and enjoy every minute of what you have

thank you for your time,
