I will never understand people here they crack me up!!If people would learn to mind their own business and keep their noses out of other peoples they would be better off...Take a good hard look at your own self and learn to leave other people alone.

I agree with Rob... Accident's do happen! And when it's your number is called it's time to go,had this lady been eating her dinner and passed then who would they blame? Never point finger's until u get the needle outta your own eye!! My prayer's go out to both these family's!
