    I am the mother of Allison seatbelt would not have saved her life.The state trooper told me out of his own mouth.2 survived 2 died.Even with a seatbelt on she would still be gone.The seatbelt is not what killed these two kids.

    My heart thoughts and prayers go out to your families. My family too has suffered the loss of our oldest daughter this past week due to a car accident in 8 mile she was only 23. May God lay his hands upon u and comfort u in this time of grief and sorrow.

    May the lord keep these young teenagers in his arms forever. Rest peacefully. As a Mom of a 14yr old waiting anxiously to be of age to drive, listen to loud music in his car, and all those things a young driver looks forward to…prayers go out to all parents of young drivers. Please drive safe, and wear your seatbelts.

    Praying these families and friends through this extremely difficult time. I pray that God lift you up and carry you when you think you can no longer stand and that you always have the peace of knowing these beautiful kids are safe in the arms of Jesus and were hand selected at such a young age for a higher purpose. May God be with you all and bless you.

    I love you Allison! Sweetest girl I had ever met, you were the best of the best.. and though no one is perfect.. you were pretty close to it. Holden had to be a sweet guy too, lord knows he had to be, in order to be with you. I miss you. You and Holden rest peacefully, and I’ll see y’all again.

  24. traumaqueen on January 26th, 2015 5:37 am

    So sad and such a big loss. Their lives cut short before it even started. I wonder if any of the young people had seat belts on. I see so many accidents where the injuries were worse than they would’ve been had they been wearing their seat belts. Praying for the families.
