Well David Bunn prison is
Well David Bunn prison is calling your name I got hands in deep places you won't be lasting long even in a check in bitch
Instead of damning another
Instead of damning another person, no matter how in the wrong he was, is such an unproductive and horrible way of handling this... The losses are so sad that damning and cursing another person who will live with this guilt his entire life and never forgive himself just seems like a pointless and sad endeavor... Instead pray for the souls of the girl who was lost and for the recovery of the girl who was injured... This is a horrible tragedy and was wanted or purposely caused by anyone... A man made a horrible mistake and he will be judged one day by higher powers than anger commenters... Instead of spending energy hating a man for a huge mistake and lapse of judgment, spend that energy in a positive way by supporting the family and friends of the girl who so unbeleivably tragically lost her life...
I completely agree. I am
I completely agree. I am Lyndsey's aunt and all anger will cause is a lifetime of torment. Lynds' life will never be the same, and lyneahs is gone. But the only way to get to a peaceful place is to keep living.. Not hold grudge in your heart. That only keeps you a prisoner of the tradegy. I am so proud of the love Lynds still carries in her heart.
