My Neice was Killed
Thursday evening my 18 year old beautiful neice Brittany Custer was Killed in a motor cycle accident in Willow Springs, near her home in Wendell. She was riding on back one of those racing honda motor cycles. We don't know if speed was an issue but a man turned into their lane to go into his drive way cutting them off causeing them to slam into the side of his truck. Another friend with them whose house they were going to laid his bike down to avoid hitting the vehical. This boys mother witnessed the colission as they were just about to his house when it happened and she was on the porch. Apparently it was a neighbor that pulled in front of them. Brit had just finished her last exams and her Freshman year at ECU that day and was home for the summer. Her boyfriend came over to get her and her parents begged her not to get on the new bike but she replied, "Daddy if it's my time to go its my time to go....and if it is I'll be riding with the Lord." While I glory in the fact she felt she was right with the Lord, my heart breaks. I will be seeing her parents tomorrow morning as my husband left this afternoon . THere is few things worse than the nock on the door with a patrol man, whose heart is also breaking, standing on the other side, asking you to come to the morgue to identify your child. Brittany was a Good kid, so many friends, always the designated driver if needed and envolved in her church and dance. But very strong minded and independent. She leaves many family and friends and her best friend her younger sister Brooke. Please pray for my brother in laws family, Craig and Wanda Custer from Wendell. Early I leave go there to say goodbye to a young beautiful woman. Her picture is in my photos in the after section titled family. She is standing dead center next to me. The tall blond. Her old boyfriend has his arms around her waste. She will be buried Sunday....Mothers Day.

I am so sorry to hear about your families loss. I live at the beach and it is bike week here. The bikes scare me to death for that very reason. Last year I hit a man on one. It wasnt my fault and he did survive even though he had many injuries but that doesnt make it any better. I just lost my father 3 weeks ago and we still have no idea on the cause of his death so I know the pain and suffering your family is going through. I won't tell you that it is going to get any easier because noone really knows unless they are there. I think it's great that she was at peace with the Lord and be thankful that you know she is in a wonderful place now..again, I am deeply sorry for your loss and your family will be in my prayers
I am so sorry for your loss. There is nothing to make it better because the loss of lsuch a young beautiful girl is just so tragic! I know there is nothing I can really say that will make any sense of it. I can honestly just say that my heart just hurts for you, the rest of your family and her parents and sister. I am the parent of an 18 year old and I can empathize with your family. How is her boyfriend? Did he survive? I am sure if he survived there will be survivor guilt and while it wasn't his fault.....he did ask her to go for the ride. That is something I am sure he will never forget.
Again, I am deeply sorry!
