BANNED! | Gloria's brother was hit by a drunk driver... As many of you know I (debbie) am usually the one here on YT more then Gloria my roomate. Early today Gloria's brother was hit by a drunk driver who was 18 yrs old. It was a head on collision that killed her brother and 2 other passengers in his vehicle. The impact was so hard that both the cars burst into flames, her brother was burned beyond recognition. The second vehicle with the 18 yr old drunk driver was also killed. Her brothers wife and 4 children are left behind without their dad now. If anyone would like to send a card or flowers, please let me know. She was very close to her brother and is devastated. I feel so helpless to be able to help ease her pain. |

| How senseless and tragic. Just be there for her is all you can do. Right now she is in a fog/shock and later is when she will really need you.

| Oh that is so horrible. I certainloy hope they catch whomever it was that provided the alcohol to an 18 year old, and charge them with 4 counts of murder. |

BANNED! | Please don't drink and drive ever!!! This was a terrible accident and could have been avoided by not drinking and driving. I don't understand how an 18 year old got alcohol to begin with. Please go hug your loved ones and remember to be kind to others. Life can be taken away in an instant. Her brother was a volunteer fireman dedicated to saving lives of others and his was taken away because of ignorance about drinking and driving. Ty all for your kind words and thoughts!!!
