to family of tosha she used to do my families hair at one point when she stayed on ws young and its been years since i ve seen here then one day in september after five plus years of not knowing where she was at and how she doing i bumped it to her at mplex wow and then two weeks later gone. i have been checking the papers on a daily basis for funeral info but know i guess there will not be one for her here but everytime i pass that ole house on ws young i will continue to think of her and the smile of surprise we shared the day we saw each other for the first time in five years...
Maybe she was hanging out the door to escape the car going too fast. Perhaps the brakes didn't work. Hell just imagine a car going fast and being scared to even jump out? My heart and prayers go out to this family. I had a aunt that passed out behind the wheel, due to a diabetic attack. This accident could happen to anyone.. God Bless.
Dear InPain or other family members: I would love to talk with some local family members and get some insight into this awful accident. Please send me a private message to: bernadette.flores@kwtx.com thanks
