I live pretty close to the school that Meri was killed. I remember that day. I was in my kitchen making dinner and I was listening to the news on TV. The words I heard that caught my attention were, "Student Killed", "Glendale", "Toll Middle School". I immediately left the kitchen and went by the TV. And yes, it was true. A student was killed by a driver. I don't know Meri or her family. But I could not stop crying and could not stop thinking about it. I have a daughter myself. At that time, she had just turned one. And I don't know why, but I just kept hugging and kissing my daughter and I was just crying. My immediate thought went out to the mother of Meri. I can't even begin to imagine the pain in her heart and not to mention it happened right before her eyes. I could not stop thinking about what Meri's mom was going through. Over the next few days, Meri could not leave my mind. I decided to go the school and place flowers at the little memorial they had by the crosswalk where she was killed. As I was there, there were friends of Meri in shock, family memers of Meri, some were in grief, some were angry, some just had blank looks in their eyes. I did not know how to feel. Should I be angry at the driver? Should I be angry at the way the crosswalk was situated, or should I be angry at GOD. I just kept asking myself, why? Why did this have to happen to a innocent young girl who had her whole life ahead of her? Why? I then realized what has happened has happened. You can't ask questions, you can't hate anyone, be angry at anyone, you can't ask why. There is a word in Armenian that is used often. It's called Jagadageer. Meaning faith. What road your life will take is etched on your forehead the day you are born. You can't erase it , you cant rewrite it. I just hope that time will heal the hurt for Meri's family. She's in a better place. Rest in peace little angel.
I remember the dreadful day. Sirens, gossip, wonder. When I found out the complete truth, I was in utter shock. I couldn't believe it. I had just seen her the other day. Sure she was different, but that was what made her special. I had known her since the very first day of kidnergarten. And now, months later, we still remember the day. I remember when one of teachers that taught Meri and I talked about that day. I remember the poster, the booklet I made, her tributary. But mostly, I remember the day I'll never forget. Just a few days after the loss of our beloved Meri, we heard the clapping of thunder. Our class, and Meri's teacher spread out with joy. It was Mer, telling us that she was all right, high above us in her home, in heaven. From that day on, Toll Middle School has a guardian angel, and her name is Meri. For the past week, several students have been working exremely hard, and have been making a garden as a tribute to Meri. We miss her so much, and it is hard to cope. The tribute will be Saturday, and everyone is welcome. If you can make it, please to. It is at Toll Middle School, next to her Homeroom teacher's class, 8102.
even though this happened almost a month and a half ago, i still feel horrible when i drop my kids off and keppel and toll. i will continue to keep meri's family in my prayers, especially during the holiday season.
I do not know you or your family. However, I am sincerely in tears. This mournful event has struck many people and I believed it was only right if I show my apologies. It must be truly difficult for your family as well as friends. My sympathy might not mean much but, but are with the Nalbandyan family.
dear meri god bless you and your family i saw your picture on the t.v seems you wor a nice girl some day every one will die and come to heaven to see you god bless you amen
It's really upsetting to see a tragedy such as this happen. It wasn't meant to happen. My sympathy and prayers are with Meri's family. Rest in peace seeroon axgchik.
I didn't know her but I know the family and what a wonderful close-knit family they are. This event is hurting everyone that knows the family. R.I.P. -Marilyn
