DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Everything Else... Update On My Daughters Accident

MASSILLON — A Perry Township teen has been charged with aggravated vehicular homicide in the August crash that claimed the life of 18-year-old Victoria L. “Torrie” Wells.

The third-degree felony charge was filed this morning in Municipal Court against Kasey Schilling, 18, of 3244 Hilton St. NW, by the Ohio Highway Patrol.

Schilling was driving west in a 2002 Ford Explorer on 12th Street NW when she apparently lost control of her vehicle, went off the right side of the road and crashed into a guardrail before coming to rest in a ditch. The crash occurred just east of Bowen Avenue NW during the early morning hours of Aug. 11.

Both Schilling and Wells, a front seat passenger, were thrown from the SUV. Wells, who graduated from Perry High in May, died at the scene from a head injury. Schilling was taken to Mercy Medical Center with serious injuries.

At the time, troopers reported that speed appeared to have been a factor in the crash.

There are some facts that have not yet been made public that led to the more serious charge but the final charge will be in the hands of the Grand Jury.

There is something about seeing Tori's name in print like this that hurts more than what has become our new normal . The black and white words do no justice to the bright and colorful person that my daughter was . She was a joy from day one , she was the baby that all new parents hope they get . She was never fussy ( o.k. ALMOST never ) and her smile which was always plastered on her face dared you to look at it and not smile back . She was one of those people that you noticed because of the glow of life that she had about her and it made you just want to be where she was .
It just isn't fair ........

So sorry for your loss. I don't know how I would cope if something happened to one of my daughters. You must be a strong person.

I can't even begin to imagine what this feels like for you and your family Ire.. I'm so sorry you had to feel this loss.

I wish nothing but the best for you and yours... I'll pray for you and for Torrie.

IRE, I don't remember you posting on this before. If you did, I apologize I missed it.

For me it would take a lot of courage to even talk about something like this. It takes a lot of courage for you to put this out there to the board.

I couldn't even begin to imagine the loss you are feeling. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

You're who I thought of with what happened with my cousin. I just simply cannot comprehend the kind of hurt you and your family are going through.

Sorry =\

IRE my heart and my prayers go out to you Bud. Those of us who are parents can imagine how you feel but only those who have lost children can really understand. There is not much we can do on a message board to help out, but what we can do is let you know we feel for you and your family, and that we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

I remember your story and I had told my wife about it. We have a daughter and can not imagine being in your shoes. Take care of yourself. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

________________

On a related note...my list of thoughts and prayers is seriously about a dozen deep right now.

I have a friends going through all manner of issues. One just found his friend and next door neighbor dead of suspicious causes. My sister in laws roommate just hanged himself. She saw someone get shot a month ago. There have been other deaths that have impacted friends. A lot of marriages are on rocky footing.

What is going on? Is it just me or is there an uncommonly amount of bad news out there right now.

I'm ready for a flood of good news if anyone upstairs is listening.

I know what you mean Heldawg. Just in the past 2 weeks, my husband's mentor passed, his best friend had a heart attack (he's ok now), and another good friend's daughter jumped out of her apartment building to her death. And that's just the past 2 weeks.
_______________________________

Ire~Still sending thoughts and prayers your way. My Uncle knew your daughter (he's a principal in your school system - Tom Ryan) and said she was a sweet girl.

I will continue to pray for you and your family, and for all of those involved.

I have tried to write more, but somehow everything I write seems inadequate. I hope that God will grant you some peace and comfort, and that you will be able to look back with pride and joy upon the time you had with her.

Continued prayers. My heart goes out to you for your loss. We care.

I've been thinking about you, Ire, since you first posted about your daughter's tragic death. I'll continue to keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Telling this to someone else this afternoon. Forgot about another friend of mine... His best friend and his wife died on their honeymoon here in Hawaii last week.

It was big news here...a helicopter crash on Molokai...then I find out it was one of his close friends from college.

Crazy.

I read about that story. Very sad.

Ire, I'm more than sorry to hear of your loss and your family will be in my family's thoughts and prayers.

Ire, we've talked. If I can do anything, let me know. Words of encouragement? Sympathy? Need a laugh? Let me know, man.

Nope, black and white never does do justice.

Seems kind of cold.


I hope I don't sound out of line here IRE, but Ms Schilling sounds like she needs some prayers, just like you and your family do....which you have had from me.

It sounds like the two young ladies were friends.


Sometimes a part of healing is letting some things go.

Trying to relive the events and wonder the hows and why aren't going to help you get there.

Ask yourself this: Would your daughter want you to try to forgive and forget??

Again, if I am out of line, I wasn't trying to be. I am honestly trying to give you a bit of something that has helped me in the past and hope it helps you and your family.

We're still praying for you, your daughter and your family. Hopefully you'll soon reach some peace with this experience. My son remains deeply touched by your message and will keep his promise to you. You remain in our thoughts.

I want to thank everyone for the kind words, thought and prayers. I USED to be that guy who thought such things from people I don't really "know" had little meaning . Notice I say that I used to be that guy. It makes my heart feel better knowing that people like you all are out there in the world . As a matter of fact since my daughter passed I have opened up my heart and mind and met a few wonderful people that otherwise I may have never connected with. My daughter gave me so much in life but even in death she has continued to give me even more.

Lots of good people here IRA (including yourself) I have met many of them. When most of these folks tell you they are praying for you, thinking of you, or feel your pain they really are. Many of us are like a big family, we might pick on yeah other and argue at times, but most of us really do care bro

Wow IRE sorry for your tragic loss ..... my thoughts are with you and yours

My thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Sorry not to post earlier. What a horrible shame. As someone who has lost a daughter, at age 13, I can unfortunately relate to what you are going through. I'm so sorry. Wish there was more I could say.

I don't know you and I don't post on here often but I am sorry to hear that anyone has to go what you're going through. My grandparents lost a son at the age of 30, and I saw how it has affected them.

I am sorry to hear about this and wish you and your family the best.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

Ire,

Dude, I just dont know what I can say that hasnt already been said. I echo everyones sentiment and pray for your family in hard times.

Not really sure what your hopes are for the court case against the girl who was driving,but whatever it is, I hope the end results can bring a little closure and comfort to all who have been devastated by Torries death.

God Bless Bro


KING

Your daughter ( Torrie ) incredible young lady...You were blessed to have had her .. I remember hearing of this and was very saddened ... my thoughts were to you and your family at that time...and still are.

Ire... i'm not far from you...and if you would ever like to get together and meet a fellow board member. i would be glad to meet you... I went to Central ..

And I'll vouch for Deisle. He's good people!

I will pray for some type of comfort for you and your family.

Anybody brave enough to pull my finger has to be a good guy. I can 2nd the voucher for Deisle.

I haven't been around the board as much, but I definitely remember your daughter's story. I am so sorry for your loss, my words will never heal your heartbreak. The thought of ever losing my daughter is unimaginable. You have my condolences on the tragic loss of her life.

Me too, Deisel is good people. IRE.. hang in there bud.
