Her boys will have a tough road ahead of them. It is a shame that a person cant even work a job without some punks taking their life over a few measly bucks. I pray that the family finds peace in the future. As far as the boys getting caught, I hope they rob another store, but this time I hope the store is prepared for them and takes them out for good.

May God have mercy on her soul and give her sons comfort. May God also have mercy on the souls of those three who did this horrific crime because no one here on earth will. This trash better pray they get caught before someone decides to save this family the burden of living through a trial.
