Prayers to all involved. To the deceased, my sincere condolences. It was probably her grandchild in the car with her, poor thing to witness all of this. Hope he gets some sort of conseling.

So sad. My heart goes out to all of the families involved. I couldn't imagine being in a car accident where someone was killed. It would rip me apart.

That was a poor choice of words to use, but I don't think that she meant it intentionally, or at least I would hope that she wouldn't because that would be very heartless.
My sincere condolences to the family

I don't either. It was not my intention to upset anyone in the families involved. It was obviously a figure of speech and I would hope that everyone on here would take it as such.... which we both know will be taken at their own context... now I will be blasted for it! Thanks Hue girl for pointing it out to every one! haha!!! Your gonna have to back me up now! Com'on I used to be a Hue girl!

I feel so bad for the little boy; to be in the accident when his grandma died. How sad. I hope that he has a speedy recovery and knows that his grandma is now an angel watching over him.
My condolences the the family and friends.
