a sister's loss

a brothers pain

Alana Berenson, 19, was a student at Suny Maritime

she and her boyfriend, Joe Cheethman got stuck in a storm

They were driving in College Point. They stepped out of this car onto the flooded street.

but couldn't see that a power line was down

It's just that I wish I could see her right now...laughing. That's how she always was.she always had a smile on her face

I say it was just too ironic that she loved the water, but that was the way she had to pass. It is just the worse thing that can happen

So many people came, not everyone could fit in the funeral home

staring at the casket....a lifeless teenager who was so full of life
