Not wearing a seatbelt, and passing in a no passing zone, My prayers are with the family
My thoughts and prayers go out to this family at such a sad time. Trust in God and he will lead you during the days ahead....
A horrible tragedy for the family. I hope all teens see what can happen while drivng and value of seatbelts. Driving defensively and cautiously can save your life.
We are so incrediably saddened by the news of your daughter's passing. We will certainly keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers. May God watch over you and help you put your lives back together.
I live near this road and know that it has a steep, long dip near the Mac Dobbs end. It's very easy to pick up a lot of speed when going down into this valley. I'm sad about this girl who died. She just graduated last weekend from KMHS. I just wonder if wearing the seat belt would've saved her life. I pray for her family to be comforted during this time.
Our prayers are with this student's family, friends, and classmates. Young drivers please be careful. Drive extra careful in memory of Courtney.
Our family is saddened by the loss of your precious daughter, Courtney. We attend Liberty Church as well. May God give you His peace during this time and lift your hearts to where Courtney now stands, in the presence of Jesus. In memory of Courtney, please wear your seat belts and be extremely careful on the road, wherever you are going. It only took a few minutes to lose this precious, precious girl's life. May God help everyone through this time.
I'm very sorry for your loss and this has really struck me. I am in a driver's education course and I hope the severity of wearing seatbelts and being safe will get everyone's attention because it got mine. I'll pray for your family.
