My sympathy to the family's involved. Seat belts people; they keep you from being thrown from the vehicle in the event of a rollover. Tires blow out, people cross the center line, people cross the median; you never know when something is going to happen; and we never know when God is going to say "times up". Again, my thoughts and prayers go out to the family's. If the dear lady was a follower of Christ, then rest assured, she is in her mansion now; take comfort in that knowledge.
