A friend of mine passed away in a car accident yesterday morning as she was leaving Provo. She was a friend of a friend, but we had made plans that would secure us as bosom buddies if I ever got around to visiting her in Utah. We were alike as far as how our general lives matched up--we had both dated the same man at one point (hence the friend of a friend), we were both graduated, working, single LDS women with great dreams of love and family and general life success. She was very kind to me--one of those people that smiled and laughed with me when I was feeling awkward and new in their circle of friends. Anyway, she really wanted these shoes, they'd been one of the most recent life goals she blogged about. So I guess this blog post is for you, Adrianne, to let you know I'm thinking about you and really praying that people walk around wearing these in the spirit kingdom, and not those awful silky white slippers with the tiny bows on the tops. Though, if people really are walking around in these for all eternity, I'm entrusting you to give me high heel lessons when I catch up to you. We'll miss you, and thanks again so much for your friendship, even after you were no longer obligated to be my friend. I hope you are feeling rested and happy wherever you are, and that people still tell really good jokes and you can still laugh really hard without getting into too much trouble.We'll still get together someday, I promise.
For those who have found this blog by googling Adrianne's name, a memorial blog has been created by one of her best friends and you can link to this page here.

I'm so sorry about your friend. I hope she has a million of those shoes in heaven.
Wow, that is so crazy. I'm sorry!
I grew up with Adrianne. It's really sad about her death, but I'm glad to know that she's in a better place and that life doesn't ever truly end. I really like your post... I'm sure she's wearing those shoes in the spirit world! I remember when she blogged about them, and I thought, "I would never wear those!" She was cute and I enjoyed her funny, unique personality.
Wilde, thanks for visiting. I had thought the same thing when I saw those shoes on her blog--they are so Adrianne and so not me. But yes, I'm sure she's wearing them. She was a spunky girl and I really appreciated her independence and sass. I bet they are loving her energy on the other side.
I tell you this is one small world. I was a close friend of Adrianne and her family's. I grew up down the street from her my whole life. It's nice to know that she made such an impact on people's lives everywhere. Thanks for your shoe dedication. She really did like those shoes.
My best friend and I lived with her for a year. I feel really awful. I can't believe it. Oh my...
Thank you for posting this. Adrianne has been one of my best friends for the past two-and-a-half years. We became friends almost instantly- because that's how she is. She really was a wonderful person, wasn't she?
I don't even know you- but I found this when I googled her name. I went to college with Adrianne years ago. Infact we spent many a nights laying Dance Dance Revolution and pissing off the neighbors below us... :) That was very sweet what you wrote. I just barely heard the news- and I know she is probably wearing those shoes. lol Thanks
I found out a few minutes ago and like most of the folks who googled to find out more, came across your blog. It seems like as good a place as any to say bye.
I worked with Adrianne and had stayed in touch since. She was one of the most loyal people I'd ever met. I think if you were a friend of Adrianne's, you pretty much stayed one forever.
She was the best Guitar Hero player I ever met.
Im glad I found your post when I googled. Adrianne was my only friend for much of Jr high and we have remained friends since, I only wish we could have been closer since I got married. Im glad that she never changed.
