Dearest Burkharts,
I don't know the full story on how it happened and I don't need to know the full story to know that this is a true so sudden loss,She is the most sweetest girl I know and she had the most beautiful eyes and the brightest smile!Even though it has been over a month and coming up on 2 months,I will continue to pray for this family, when we heard about the accident, me and my mom had no idea how to react because it was just us, my mom was in tears and I was starting to tear up to while we prayed in the subway parking lot,we did not know until the next day that she died, no madder the cause,the Ruders will always be praying and I want the Burkharts to know that God always has a plan,and all of us will be there for them.
I pray that Peyton is watching over you and in heaven as a beautiful little angel,
We love you all so much!!!

I made a poem for Peyton before she passed

I hope we can be friends. I hope It never ends. I will hold you when your sad. make you laugh when you are mad. as we feel the breeze together. I know it goes forever. although you are now gone.when I feel the breeze that shakes the trees I will know you are there with me.

I did not really know Peyton but we had met each other and were at least a little bit of friends and I deeply miss her
