There were 22 posts on that thread, and the lead one said: "Of course I mourn for the family and for all those affected by this accident. I didn't post this to make fun of Melissa Howland - because the story about her accident is tragic."

And no one was happy she was killed, so don't try to make that inference. The driver of the other car, aged 17, was wearing a seat belt, and he wasn't seriously injured. The article noticeably didn't mention if your cousin was seat-belted, and if not, we can all learn a good from this.

My condolences to your entire family, and I hope that your grief has subsided to the "tolerable" level. Trust me, time is a good friend in recovering from such losses.

I have no idea how you found that one thread among countless thousands, but nobody was happy that your cousin was tragically killed in that accident.
