I guess the Truth Press is now becoming the place to place your obituary as this article follows the format of one. I am more interested in the cause of death of this young lady. I’m sure she was a wonderful daughter to the family. What else would a mother say on the death of their children? All this article does is leave us with a lot of questions totally unanswered and no way to find out as Truth Press does not provide a way to keep track of any follow ups to the article.
