An amazing person is dead. A drunk piece of dirt is alive, out on bail. I really hope he feels down in his soul, every ounce of guilt and shame possible. Because it IS HIS FAULT! Thats what I want him to know. I wish he would have known her, the guilt would be much worse. She was like no person Ive ever known.
