Meredith Fox

About a month ago, I was driving home from work when I heard about a wreck that happened a few miles from my office. The wreck involved some high school students from the school I attended. I was sad to hear the news, but was pretty sure I wouldn't know any of the students involved since I graduated over 7 years ago. But when I got home, I decided to look online to see if there was any more information about the accident. I quickly realized that I did know one of the students. She had been a camper at Kanakuk my first year. I remembered Meredith being a cute, happy, 7 year old gymnast. I hadn't seen or talked to her since that summer, but had thought about her some and vaguely remembered her being from Memphis. Well in the past month I have learned more about her and what an amazing 14 year old girl she had grown to become. At her funeral they described her as always smiling, full of life and energy, she loved the Lord and that she really knew how to love people well... I have been challenged in many ways to live my life to the fullest and to love others the way that Christ would want us to.. I will write more about this soon. but here's a link to the memorial video for those of you that knew her or want to know more about her...
