Today was a tough day….

I buried a 20 year old girl, whom been shot in the head by her boyfriend.
(supposedly accidentally!!??)

Her family was so nice, my heart was breaking as her father was telling me stories about his little girl, I could see the glow in his face when he mention her name.
I can’t even begin to understand how her family must feel.
The pain of having to bury their baby girl.

The father told me how proud she was of being in the Navy.
She turned down up scaled collages to join the service.
And also that she had made this arri comment to her father, if something ever where to happened to her, she wanted to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

When we went over how the headstone was going to read, I asked since we had a couple of speared lines to use, if their was something special they like to inscribe after all her military information.
They told me, every time Caitlin signed of on an e-mail or a letter she always put down a quote at the end;

"Happy are those who dream dreams, and are willing to pay the price to make them come true"

May she rest in peace.
My heart goes out to her wonderful family and friends.
