The person that died was my friend and she was a wonderful person. She was a terrific wife and mother and an example of how we should all be. I will treasure my friendship with her forever. So in view of everything that is going on in this world, take a good look at your life, ask yourself what's important in your life. If it's your family, friends, tell them how much you love them, you never know what will happen to you each day.
I'm so sorry for you loss
Such true words. Live each day as if it is your last. Show people kindness, patience and love and you will never regret a day on earth. I'm so sorry about your friend. A sudden death is hard to grasp. Mother Nature and God work in mysterious ways.
The Detroit News the fatality was a male. Nice try, though.
Well said.
I'm sorry too, L.B. Sounds like she was a treasure. Hang in there. JM

@Joe, the driver was indeed a woman.
The devil collects his souls in mysterious ways..not god.
