My Prayers, for both families who lost their loved ones. No one honestly knows what happened. Those who assume being on the phone, Yet that may not have been the issue to what happened. It could have been anything, for such a horrible situation to end up taking two lives. It’s just sad to hear families’ hearts are shattered.
