Stories of Other Loss

My 17 Year Old Nephew
by Tara Pomaski, Chesterfield, U.S.A.

In Loving Memory
Brett K. Kareus
1/20/84 - 9/1/01

Brett was a gift from god. He was a star baseball pitcher who had a full ride scholarship to just about any college that he wanted to go to. Brett was 2 weeks into his senior year.

On that night he decided to go to a teen dance club with a couple of his girlfriends. Rushing to get them home by midnight Brett hit another car head on and died instantly.(completely sober) There was a 16 year old Malarie O'Keefe in the back seat that also passed away with Brett. There has been the loss of 2 wonderful children.

I am having a very hard time dealing with Brett gone considering that I am his aunt and only 3 1/2 years older than him. We had a love and friendship that could never be replaced. Brett was also my sisters only child.

2,000 people came to his funeral. It was the most amazing thing that I had ever seen in my life.

I wish I could have him back, and I think every day I am one day closer to seeing him again..........
