In a small town in Canada, a family weeps for the loss of their 17 month old baby girl. These are not just headlines to me. These people are real, friends of mine.
On Canada Day a day of celebration in our country tradegy struck them hard. While eating dinner in the yard at her grandparents home tiny Korielyn slipped away from the table while her grandmother was serving dinner to her older sister Briana. In that split second she toddled over to their 10 yr old German Shepard Doberman cross. A dog that she had been fimilar with her whole 17 month old life. No one knows what transpired during these few moments but second later her grandparents were having to tear her away from the dog who had attacked her so severely she required CPR all the way to the Smiths Falls hospital only a few minutes away. Once at Smiths Falls hospital a short time later the doctors decided to send her by helicopter to CHEO in Ottawa she died from her injuries. Its hard to grasp, that this family is now without their little sunshine. That her older sister Briana must go on without her baby sister. Or the fear that their parents face that Briana will remember what happend to her sister. She was there after all.
Moments like these will never again occur between the very close duo.
This Family
has been shattered and at a time when they expect a new baby anyday. Yes Amanda is Pregnant with their 3rd child. Chuck a wonderful and loving father is devestated from this loss. And its not the first loss in this family. My bestfriend Cory Edwards, Chucks brother was killed in a car accident 5 years ago. And Korielyn was named after her Uncle Cory. A great man, and dear friend to many. I also named my son after Cory.
Cory was killed when his truck collided with a train. I lost a huge part of myself the day I heard he died.
My Poetry Blog And Chuck lost a lot after he lost his brother. And now he has lost his little girl. And my heart goes out to him. This is a hard thing for anyone to go through, but this family is shattered. I Have written this page to help the memory or these 2 great people to live on. Korielyn Edwards and Cory Edwards 2 great people much to young to die.
