  1. Rest in peace sweet lady. You will be missed..Prayers for her friends and family. May God give you strength and peace in your heart as you go thru the coming days.

  2. What? She was ok with her little friend keeping six unbuckled kids in the car and also not being buckled? She’s almost as much to blame as the driver because she didn’t do anything about it. Every single one of those children could’ve died. No thanks JoCo Report, I think the parents should be responsible for what they raised on this one.

    • Whats interesting is, that you jump on the internet to throw shade at someone going through a terrible loss. The families and children will forever be changed due to this yet you seem to think it is ok to point out every flaw. Are you flawless?

  3. She got in the car with six unbuckled children in the back and didn’t see an issue with it. Show me your friends, show me your future.

  4. There is no need to be so judgemental of this young lady… All you have to do is not donate to her funeral… Regardless of what choice she made… These children will be traumatized from this and you wretched people are up here talking trash about it… God forbid you ever make a mistake in this life… I pray that God comforts the families involved. You people need to seek a place of grace, mercy and forgiveness in your heart before the hatred completely consumes you…

    • A mistake is knocking over your drink or forgetting your wallet, driving around with 6 small children not in proper restraints is not a mistake and from what I’ve seen some of those kids were the women’s own children. They both should have known better this was 100% preventable.

  5. Da*n, has anyone ever heard they saying … “don’t speak ill of the dead”. Does it make it right that they weren’t buckled up? OBVIOUSLY Not, but the two women lost their lives, show some respect!

  6. Theres a bottle of Tequila someone left at the crash site memorial next to the balloons. Tells you all you need to know about these people and what happened here…

  7. The things people say when someone pass no respect this could be your family smh no matter what lives was lost you don’t what was really the cause of the accident to be quiet I’m a mother I’ve lost 2 kids respect the family

    • The cause of the accident is obvious — Speed. Factors indicating poor guardianship of the children are no seatbelts and an overloaded car. Sad loss of life due to neglect and mature thinking.

  8. Prayers to all, especially the negative nancys. Think of the families that lost their loved ones. Think about the families that lost their loved ones. Repeat. God is the only one to judge.

  9. Yes I agree that all should have been buckled. But still my heart goes out to the loved ones who lost their family members. Lord please bless them and these kids involved. I pray for the seriously injured child to recover as well.
