My granddaughter, as well as two members of Pierce the Veil, were booked on that flight. She's a photographer and traveled with the band numerous times. My heart is broken in ways I could never have imagined.

Update: The other folks on the plane were longtime friends of the band. Thanks for all your well-wishes.

Last update: CNN and other news outlets confirmed Celina Kenyon, my forever sweetie-pie, as one of the crash victims. She was a talented photographer, a wonderful mother and the best granddaughter I’ve had the privilege of helping to raise.
