I had the pleasure of knowing, the other passenger that sadly also passed away and she will be greatly missed!! Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry for the loss of beautiful Asia. My heart goes out to Karl and the boys.
I am truly sadden by the loss of life in this tragic accident. I found out who the other passenger was this morning as they too have passed away. I worked along side this person for over a year, they thought me all I knew there. I have to say I’m proud to call her a friend as she was a gentle soul and would do anything for you. I didn’t know Asia, but if she was like my friend she was just as beautiful. May their family find the overwhelming love and support from family and friends hold them tight and find comfort during this difficult time. I will pray for everyone.
Thanks for your kind words!
