My daughter was just killed by a speeding driver

I am heartbroken for you, my friend. What a horrible tragedy.

I’m so sorry to hear this.

Oh no. I can’t imagine the grief and shock you must be feeling right now. I am so sorry.

Sorry for your loss Joanna. Something I’ll occasional say is , “Don’t use your car to express your emotional state.” (If you’re feeling like a broken hero on a last chance power drive, slow da fuck down.)

I’m so, so sorry. :cry:

All my support and best wishes, a truly terrible day for all in your family.

And I agree 100% about speeding, most people treat it as just “one of those things you do”, when in my experience (former adjuster) it always makes everything worse from a driving point of view. A recoverable moment of inattention becomes UN-recoverable because you couldn’t take your damn foot off the gas.

I agree, slow the heck down!

This is so inadequate, but I’m so sorry this devastating thing happened to you.

May you find the strength to persevere.

I’m so very sorry, Johanna.

Another voice in the chorus of condolences…

I will join you and continue in my crusade to get people to slow the hell down as well.

I’m so very sorry, and send sympathy to you and your family with tears in my eyes. As others have said, I’ll remember your sweet daughter the next time I’m tempted to speed.

Here’s a link to an organization that helped friends when their son died:
To The Newly Bereaved - Compassionate Friends

When you can, please update and let us know how you and your grandkids are doing. How old are they?

I am so sorry that I can’t even begin to express it.

Thank you for letting us know.

I am sorry for your loss.

What an unspeakably horrible tragedy! I feel so bad for you, and wish you strength and peace in the difficult days ahead.

Thinking of others in your message to all of us to slow down was very thoughtful and noble at such a terrible time. I may or may not have complained here at some point that our city was putting up fixed photo-radar cameras in my neighbourhood, but now I applaud it. There really are too many speeders rushing through these residential streets, including in school zones, and I dearly hope they all get nailed with huge fines.

Again, my deepest condolences on your terrible loss.

Words just can’t express. My sympathies to you and all her loved ones.

I am so sorry to hear this. Sympathies to you and your family.

The Kansas Highway Patrol just announced that, thus far this year, they have issued over 1500 citations for speeders going over 100 mph. And we are certainly not a high-traffic state, although there are wide-open stretches of interstate highways.

One of these was for 151 mph. I’d be scared shitless to be in that car.

I am so sorry for your loss. I can relate, my father was killed by an inattentive driver who struck him on his motorcycle.

Was your daughter married or did she have kids? I will say a prayer for your family and their sorrow.

The one ray of light in an unimaginably bleak situation.

I’m so very sorry, Johanna. There just aren’t words for how wrong the whole situation is.

Very sorry for your loss. If it’s okay, I’ll keep your family in my prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss

I’m so very sorry. I just have no words. I’m just so very very sorry.
