~~but in all fairness what in the world was she thinking walking down the side of the highway at 4:00 in the morning? Why doesn't someone answer that question instead of trying to place blame on someone else~~ Who cares? What business is it of yours or anyone else's why someone was out at whatever hour. THAT DOES NOT CHANGE THE OUTCOME, OR THE FACT THAT HER CHILDREN HAVE LOST THEIR MOTHER. God. People, please think. It DOES NOT MATTER why she was out at anytime of the day or night. The ONLY time we should question why someone is out at a particular time is if this were a CHILD out at 4 a.m. A grown woman or man can go anywhere at anytime- there's no curfew on grown folks. Another thing I'd like to know is if you got information about why she was out at 4 a.m., would that change her deceased status AT ALL? Would it make you feel BETTER that she was deceased if she were out for the "wrong reasons" (according to you)? Would you sympathize if her reason was legit?
