Sad story indeed. I tried following it but it was so confusing with all the similar names in the article. I did however see the part regarding the 24 year old girl, my sympathies. Nobody should pass at such an early age for any reason, especially not someone stealing the rest of her life with a gun.

It's really hard to understand why these things happen. I'm really sorry to hear about this. I'm sure your friend inspired you and will be a part of your life forever.

Hope everyone eventually finds peace concerning this.

This really puts problems in perspective, sure we can have really frustrating problems with our cars, BUT these problems pale in comparison to REAL LIFE AND DEATH PROBLEMS. Makes you count your blessings.
