Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a good week! I heard some really shocking news over the weekend that had me and my whole workplace absolutely floored. I have been working at a car dealership for a little over two years and have worked as both a receptionist and a service cashier. I had worked with a service advisor that had been there a little longer than I had, and he was just the sweetest guy to work with. He was always so good with the customers and everyone that he worked with. He just recently left our dealership to work with one about 15 minutes away, so I haven't seen him recently. However, while watching the news yesterday morning I learned that a man was riding a bicycle late one night and was struck and killed by a drunk driver. The driver drove away from the scene was caught a few hours later. The driver of that car was (allegedly) my former coworker. I have been in a state of shock ever since I saw this story. I have so many mixed feelings, this coworker was a very dear friend of mine. My heart is also so heavy for the family of the man that was killed. He was a father of four who had been riding a bike so that he could save money for his children, he had three in college and a special needs child at home as well. Its just such a sad situation for everyone involved, so if anyone in the class does pray, please keep everyone in your prayers. This is a good man, however, justice must be served to punish him and help bring some kind of closure for the family, it is just hard for me because he has always been such a good friend. I hope everyone has a good week, and I will see everyone in class! Here is the link to the story if anyone would like to read more: http://www.wsoctv.com/news/26657256/detail.html

Hi Gale. I'm so sorry to hear this. A similar story happened with someone that my fiance knows except it wasn't a hit and run. It's really sad that one night of bad decision making can ruin your whole life, especially with someone who is genuinely a good person. I hope things get easier for you and he doesn't recieve a crazy sentence. I understand that the family of the person killed needs closure but at the same time I don't feel that a person should rot in jail the rest of their life for a mistake.
