Vada Jolene Schoon
January 30, 2003 - June 7, 2006
Vada Jolene Schoon was born on January 30, 2003. On June 7, 2006, everything seemed just like every other day. Vada's father left to go to work, and Vada's mother left her in the house while she went to move the car from the street into their driveway. Upon parking the car, Vada's mother saw that it wasn't straight. She shifted it into reverse to straighten the wheels, carefully checking her mirrors and her blindspots. She had no way of knowing that Vada had let herself out of the house and was standing right behind the car, where no one would be able to see her since she was so, so small.
When Vada's mother got out of the car, she saw her three year old daughter lying on the ground, fatally wounded. Medical technicians were called and Vada was treated on scene for her injuries, and then taken to the hospital where she was pronounced dead.
I would say hi to her or see her a lot when she was outside with her mom.
ReplyDeleteI was 13 years old, and remember this incident. I randomly thought of this little girl today and looked her up. She was a beautiful and bright child.
