That is a terrible road! The speed limit is 30 and I would say the average car is going 50. Not the best place to take a walk espeacially at night.

I suggest you know the whole story about what these girls were doing before making assumptions that they were out for a "walk". I was there and saw it, and you couldn't even leave a decent comment.

RIP molly
beloved graduate of IHA, we all love and miss you

sarah please do not speak ill of the dead and the suffering
RIP dear Molly. We will miss you dearly

Perhaps you saw what happened but this other individual is only saying the road is dangerous.
Which it is, doesn't matter what you saw.
People drive fast on that road whether school was in session or not. Still a tragedy but don't slam someone for pointing out the obvious, and I graduated from URI and I am sorry for the loss of your friend.

Hi,

Let me make this simple for everyone here, please.

This is not the time to speculate...

This is not the time to criticize the dead
or their grieving friends and family...
... or even the community at large...
... especially each other ...

This is not the time to pontificate ...

This, is, however, the time to memorialize...
to remember...

to reach out to each other and more importantly
to those whom we know are grieving...

to the families...
to the friends...
to the fellow classmates...
to a community whom may even feel the loss
of never having known these souls and now a sense
that they never may.

This is the time to open our hearts...
to remind ourselves how short our lives will be
even should we be fortunate to live a full life.

To realize that today the bell tolls
for these young young women
and that someday it will toll for thee...

... and as we take a moment to cherish our own lives
get in touch with our own mortality...

I ask you all... when it is your turn how would you
like people to react and behave ?
Let this guide your actions and your words...
and in treaty with others around us.

I do feel the grief myself.
Yes, I am a graduate of URI and also a father
with two beautiful young girls and as I considered
just how young they were to have passed... just the
thought that this could happen to my own is enough
to nearly bring tears to mine tired eyes.

I know we will all grieve differently, too.

Some of us will be very very quiet in our grief
some of us will be angry
such is the nature of grief but as long as we
remember for whom we grieve for
know this, that this has in fact touched us all
and mybe in that we can also learn
to celebrate life and each other.

Peace,

Jim

Now, I must make apology for my own
human error in a moment to rush to
address this sad accident...

... and in my rush my exhaustion...
it was nearly this time last year 2 URI students,
- women were killed in a road accident - a momentary lapse in exhaustion...

However, as I realize my mistake here...
that there is still one young women whom
is actually seriously injured (not deceased)
perhaps in this I have an answer for all
that i did not before... we can remember
Mary Ellen best by helping Holly somehow...

maybe through prayers gifts and maybe more.
let your heart discover that way which you may give help to Holly.

Jim

cory, she was not taking "a walk". She didn't want to drink and drive, so that's why she was walking home. Phil, he wasn't pointing out the obvious. He was slamming her with pathetic dry humor like she was casually going out for a walk and got herself killed. That was not the case. Holly was a smart girl, and tried to get out of a situation, but instead, a 53 year old bad driver had to take her life. Mary, sarah was not speaking ill of the dead. She was telling cory off. RIP Molly. We miss you.
