Sloppy typing. Corrected now.
Talk about just throwing your life away! Thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of the victims.
Perhaps you could inform the public if there is memorial fund and or to help with victim’s funeral costs etc.
Will we ever see the day when people will separate having a good time and driving afterwords? You have a choice! Make a plan! Get home safe!!! Some times our bad choices have life changing consequences.
Do you drink and drive? Do you plan ahead? It all starts with YOU!!
