It was my sister that died and believe it or not, from the information I received from police and witnesses, this time it was not the drivers fault. I get it because I am an Uber driver and I see how people are driving really bad these days so I automatically assumed it was someone speeding. I actually feel bad for woman who hit my sister because she will live with that for the rest of her life. I do see people speeding all day and running stop signs all the time so I always drive under the limit to give myself enough time. I am also grieving the loss of my sister but I did my research and I feel bad for the woman too because she didn’t see her coming. I know I will see my sister again in the resurrection and she will be like I remember her when when we were teenagers and she was a straight A student and I wanted to be just like her. I miss her so my!!!!

I am so sorry for your loss.
The memories flash back to a better time and place.
Your rationalization brings peace and calmness to such a chaotic ending to Donna’s life.
May she rest in peace.
