I am so sorry for this woman and the people who knew and loved her. But please learn something from this – wear a seat-belt. It won’t save everyone, but maybe it will save you or someone you love. Also, put your young children in car-seats. I’ve seen accidents where the people wearing seat-belts lived, while others, in the same accident without a seat-belt died or were severely injured. I probably don’t know you, but if I read that you have died in an accident I care and if you weren’t wearing a seat-belt, it breaks my heart, so know that people do care.

My son died in a car accident. There were 3 in the car. Only 1 lived and she was the only one that had a seat belt on.

I’m so sorry for your loss. My heart aches for you. Thank you for sharing your story. I am sure it will make at least one person think and put on their seat-belt.
