Skyler Cullitan
1987-2004
Skyler... You meant the world to so many people... Your little brothers looked up to you.

I dated you for a while last year, and you were always so nice to me. You always said I was pretty... You really loved my hands. You trusted me to cut your hair, though I ended up giving you a bald spot.

I'll always remember the tears and the faces of everyone around me this day of December 10th, 2004. You impacted everyone's lives at Lakeside. No one will ever be the same without you.

You always knew how to cheer people up. You were always a genious in every class. You were an athletic person. You always treated people well. You always confused people... But in a good way.

I can easily say, that without a doubt, you will be missed. By me, by your close friends, by anyone who ever spoke to you. You always had a way of touching people's hearts.

I thought for the longest time that I didn't like you, and I thought I even hated you. I realized how dumb I was a couple months ago, and I talked to you as I normally would.

I can't help but think there was something I could have done for you... Something to change your mind, rethink taking your own life. I wish I knew where you got the gun from, so I could have taken it before you and disposed of it. I wish I could have taken it from your hands if I walked by at the right moment. I wish I could have made all your troubles go away. I wish I could have put a bulletproof square on your forehead. I wish you would have held on to find the good things in life and to see that it'll always get better.

You never got a chance to experience a future. You would have been great... Something that could have cured cancer or changed so many people's lives. You were always so smart with everything.

I never got a chance to hug you one last time... To see you once more... To tell you goodbye.

We love you so much, Skyler, and you will be missed deeply by all of us.
