‘The truth will prevail so that no one can play on your name (facts are facts). I’m going to let the news and the detectives do their job. I’ve never been the one to go back and forth about false information and I don’t speak badly on the dead, but you didn’t deserve this.
‘We had a lunch and shopping date scheduled for Sunday and so many other things to do… I’m lost and broken praying for your Family especially your Mom, Siblings, Son, and Grandbaby.’
