Why didn’t the AIR BAGS deploy???? Our prays and thoughts are with all the family’s for there loss and the ones trying to recover!
Please don’t drink and drive or get in a vehicle with someone that has been drinking, call a sober friend or family member to pick you up. My 2 youngest sons are in sorrow over their lost friends,R.I.P. BIG COUNTRY!
NO DISRESPECT TO ANYONE as for my children knew several of these young adults, but I really wish our younger generation would learn that they are NOT invincible PLEASE PICK UP THE DAMN PHONE AND CALL DON’T DRIVE!!!! Your parents may not b happy to get the phone call to come get you in the middle of the night but believe me when I say we would rather get a call to come pick u up opposed to the call to come identify you PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL!!!!!!!
I have a Hardware Store on the corner of Nichols Sawmill and Roberts Cemetery called Andy’s Hardware & Feed. I am so sorry for the loss and tragic circumstances that has become of these wonderful children. Their lives have not yet begun yet and my sincere condolences to the families of all 4 children. If I can help in any way please feel free to visit me at the store. The tragic loss of the two wonderful girls on Roberts Cemetery months ago and now this so close to home is something everyone feels the pain of. The country is a community of many caring individuals and God Bless everyone, no matter the circumstances. Douglas Wamer!
Her name is Tori Tabor, by the way…
As for trying to get kids to stop drinking and driving, we do it every day. Isn’t there a statistic that a drunk-driving accident occurs every thirty seconds? No matter how much you preach about it, people are going to still do it. And yes, I said people, not just kids. Everyone says it’s always the kids, and though that is partially true, adults make the same damn choices. I didn’t know Kevin. I wish I did. By seeing all of my classmate’s pictures and memorials of him makes me wish I did. As for Tori, she was probably the best damn friend anyone could ask for. She was honest, fun, and always had your back. Magnolia is not just a town, but a home, at least it is for me. I wish I could come down right now and mourn with them. Yet I see some posts saying “they had it coming” or “that’s what they get”. That’s terrible to say. No one asks to die. They were young, yes, but they left everyone with a memory, a reminder, and a lot of love. It just pains me to see some people can be so ignorant sometimes.
Yes, this was a tragedy our kids should not ever have to experience. What bothers me most are the comments on FB from so many kids about missing them and how they wish they could “share a cold one in your truck again” or “how I will miss your drunk texts.” How many of these posted pics with beer in their hands and their blood shot eyes…why? This is not okay! To all of our young people out there…If you feel the need to drink, please call your parents, call a friend, call a friends’ parent…ask them to come get you!! Thats the way to show you’re growing up and can handle lifes ever changing choices. From this Magnolia mom, I pray all those affected will find peace…this is an experience no one should have to endure.
I didn’t know anyone from that crash,but it happened right down the road from my house,I saw many ppl there tonight putting flowers up,I did give flowers as well,sad sorry many of ppl lots loves ones.I pray and bless the family’s.
Does anyone know how the ones in the hospital are doing?
I don’t personally know the people involved in this crash, but I do live in magnolia donw the road and my 19yr old son knew them very well. This has impacted our family alot. Its a shame such a tragedy accured and lives were lost but I cant help but think that if my husband, father in law and 11yr old son would have been 10 seconds later coming up the road they to would be missed!!! My family passed them and had to move off the road some and commented on how fast they were going and not but seconds later, lives were taken. I do hope that children, kids, teenagers and adults take this accident to heart and stop drinking, texting or whatever while driving!!! These roads out here are very very dangerous!! Our community is growing by the minute, lets be safe!! My prayers go out to all the families who have lost Loved ones!!!!!
May God bless the family and friends of these young kids. People please be respectful…all young kids are gonna experiment..hopefully all parents will teach them to call. My deepest sympathy to friends and family. These kids were beings…just as we parents were when we were their age!
Magnoliamom I agree with some of the inappropriate things being said and done just like my son and his girlfriend went to the crash site for her to put something there for Ms. Tori and they got a picture of stuff that others had brought there and I would be soooo upset if I was one of parents of the ones who didn’t make it, someone brought an empty jack danials bottle and set it up which I believe to be COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE due to the cirrcumstances alledgedly (quote “alcohol and high rate of speed”)causing the accident!!!! Young people just don’t think before they act or speak sometimes….
