I would like to know what happened to the original article that was on the website last night and where all the comments are.
When a news establishment writes a story, maybe you should have all the facts BEFORE printing your opinion.
Our hearts and prayers are with the family of Christie, especially her son, huband, and Mother. We will miss you Christie.
Love,
Chris and Charlene Whittle
