Don't really know what to say.... We are still in complete shock.

She was my best friend at school, and was my bridesmaid last year, and now some bastard terrorist has ended her life, she was only 31.

Thanks Gingerbear - I am very very sad, angry, in disbelief, numb, all at the same time at the moment.

As far as I'm aware they haven't brought her home yet, and now I'm worrying about what state she is in, and whether they have even been able to identify her yet. It is not hard to use your imagination when thinking about a bomb victim, we have all seen something similar on the telly.

The newspapers seem to have been making up what they like, but there has been no more news for days. We don't want to ring her parents as we have no idea what to say. I have written to them, though.

I have read on the internet a story about our school we went to, with one of the teachers saying how it feels like they have lost one of their family... WHAT?? She never liked the school much, and the teachers weren't that keen on her. Also a few words from someone else at school I have never heard of talking about her when she was younger, how dare they get on the band wagon. You don't see me getting in touch with any journalists!!

Sorry rant over... for now!
