Our daughter already knows. "The board" is a whiteboard in the kitchen where all such messages are posted. It is in a high traffic spot, by design, and I know she already received the message. What she did with the message, I don't know.
Last night there was a...vigil, get together, whatever by many of her classmates, teammates, friends, adults and kids in rememberance of the young girl. There were teachers and coaches there, including the school counselor(s). I didn't go, I stayed home with other parental responsibilities, but MrsV went with her. They took a case of candles and a bunch of tissues.
I gather the girl and her boyfriend had broken up on Friday, the night before she jumped from
the bridge. They gathered just about where she died. She and our daughter were teammates, although I don't think they were close friends. At least I don't remember seeing the girl around the house like other friends of hers.
I'm just playing it by ear, now. Today, the first schoolday following will be eventful, I'm sure.
Thank you all for your suggestions and your support.
