I was there...it was an accident. Accidents happen everyday. This is / was a tradegy. Please everyone pray for everyone. No one would have been involved in this accident, if they could help it. ...and don't argue on such small things...there is a lot of heartbreak that will last a lifetime.

I am a friend of Heather's and just want everyone to remember her children and her love of Dennis and pray for them to get through this time.

I think people want to know what happens to their neighbors. The family in this case is obviously okay with it because they talked to TV3. Speak for yourself Deneene and Kelly.
