@PamelaG1066, You never learn by what you have done right! This report is not speaking ill of the dead, just reporting the facts!

I think it is extremely poor taste to make his past mistakes a prominent part of this sad story. Speaking ill of the dead is always wrong.

It is hard for any family to go through something like this, but to see those two little girls left without a dad my heart just sank. I hope the best for the family they will be in my prayers!
