However, we must all respect the deceased and her loved ones by being loving and human as we post comments. Death is no joke and nothing to gain social media stats from.
I extend my plea to sympathize with her family and the honour of giving her kids scholarships if she left any. I’m still recouping from the whole ordeal but I send my impassioned message to the bereaved.
MAY HER SOUL REST IN PEACE.
