She was so electric and one of my good friends. She was a warm and wonderful person and I hate that she's not a part of this anymore. I miss her a lot.
Oh, gosh, where do you stop with the memories of Scarlet? She was definitely one-of-a-kind, and it's such a shame her life ended so suddenly. I remember when she first came to Sheridan from California and didn't know very many people. She was our first exposure to a real live "valley girl," and people were enthralled with her. I invited her to church, and I remember us sitting out on the ledge of the old First Baptist Church building on Wednesday nights, letting our legs swing in the air, talking about our "problems" that seemed so big at the time. She was such a treasure.
What can't you say about Scarlet? She was one of a kind for sure. I hung out with Scarlet and Gwen a lot. Football games, fan buses(Scarlet would be pissed if she didn't get credit for being one of the 15 suspended for the Lakeside bus, so let it be known she was one of them), dances, the Levi's commercial at the junior plays. The one common denominator in all those experiences is laughter. If you were with Scarlet, you were laughing. She is one of my all time favorite people.
What a happy go lucky person! For her life to be taken at her own hand was a shock to me! We never know what people's personal battles are. I remember the fan bus well. I was the last person to be suspended. I remember Scarlet had to be carried off the bus that night. Let us not forget her car. She never knew where it would end up. That car was moved so many times! What a wonderful and bright spot in all the people she knew.She is missed deeply!
I think about Scarlet all of the time too. I remember laughing one time in class so hard that I was crying...I cannot remember the class, nor can I remember what it was about but I know it was something that Scarlet and Gwen were telling. I was fortunate to hear a lot of Scarlet and Gwen stories. Cunningham, Curtis and Damron, I got to sit by them in every class we ever had together! Some of my greatest memories are with them. The world is missing out by not having Scarlet in it.
I loved Scarlet so much! She was the coolest chic ever. We had so much fun together in choir; neither of us could carry a tune. I never met anyone from California before. I was drawn to her immediately. I wanted to be cool like her. Our poor teachers. She had the personality that people were drawn to. I have so many memories like football games, prom with her, Wade, and Jamie G. Cruising the Sonic, Midget Mart, the SLURPY BUSTERS, going to the state fair, and just being great friends. Scarlet always had a smile and the spirit that made us all a little better.
Scarlet was awesome! She was always going 100 mph. Get her and Gwen together and humor ensued. I was shocked when I heard about her. It's hard to believe someone who is so happy externally can be fighting personal demons on the inside. The world surely would be a brighter place with her in it!
Scarlet's sister, Rhonda sent me Scarlet's obit so I thought I'd post it on here for those who never saw it.
