- Teresa Settle: "So, so sad. Sending prayers to her family and friends as well as the driver. That person whether at fault or not has to live with the fact that they killed someone. A hard thing to live with. Another young life taken in an instant. Life certainly isn't fair and no parent should have to bury a child."
