  • You are so right. We shouldn't need such laws. I know how hard it is to lose a dear friend. I lost one last summer too and it was because of medical arrogance.

    We never know why these things happen. But we can cherish all of the wonderful moments that we have shared with our loved ones.

    I am glad that you survived the Tornadoes. It has been tough in the Midwest this past weekend.

    Melodie, I whole heartedly agree with you. And like Bonnie says, it shouldn't HAVE to be a law. But I hope it becomes one. I heard of Linzi right afterward, but not this 'rest of the story' shameful, and unhuman. Like you, I hope they LIVE with that on a daily basis, but most likely, they feel it was 'someone else's fault" "Not my fault"

  • I read the Statesman article - it was heartbreaking. Your friend hooked up with the wrong people and no amount of laws are going to make classless people do the right thing. In this day and age, people can't trust strangers. You have to be always wary of people you don't know. That's just my opinion.

  • Melodie my heart goes out to you and to Linzi's family. It's horrible when your young and have to experience a friend passing away, especially when her death shouldn't of happened.

    She was also a friend of one of my young family members..

    She will never be forgotten, she's watching over you now..

    Sending (( HUGS)) your way.
