Jon- What about my comment was so outlandish that you had to reply with that? It's a fact that this stretch of road is dangerous. And forgive me for offering a grieving family my condolences that just lost a loved one. There was nothing out of line by my comment at all and can see how ignorant and uncaring you are if you have to call me out for that. Stef- You and your family will be in my thoughts. I've traveled this road and know how dangerous it is. I think the state should look at the amount of accidents on that road and realize something needs to be done. Your uncle sounds like a wonderful man and I for one will keep your family in my thoughts.
