Prayers and condolences. I knew Tasha..
First off my heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to the man in the truck. I pray that it is a quick recovery for him. I am so sorry that he has to go through all this pain and hurt. It is so devastating what happened to all of them.
Some of the people on here seem cold. I know that these two teenagers made a grave mistake, but they were just that teenagers. I know that gives them no excuse, but I remember I was around 21 when I finally grew up. Before then I never thought of the consequences of my actions. I am positive the Tasha (that is what we called her when I knew her running around my uncles farm as a little girl) did not wake up that morning, thinking she was going to go on a high speed chase and kill herself and injure someone else. I am not sure what she was thinking.
Like I said I knew her as a sweet little girl. It has been awhile since I have seen her or her parents. I have heard great things about her here and there. I have seen pictures of her and heard of all of her accomplishments. To be honest I was quite shocked to hear of her in a foster home. She has wonderful parents and I am still not sure why she was there.
I know that her parents are greatly grieving, my cousin called her dad and he could not even talk on the phone. It is so easy to say forget them, because they are the ones that decided to run from the police, but again we must remember that they are teenagers. They were probably scared. Please be sensitive to the parents of these children. I do not know the one, but I do know Tasha was immensly loved. No one knows the background behind all of this, but the family.
Tasha, I know you were greatly loved and will be missed by alot of people. Your beauty shines in the pictures above. I am sorry that your life ended this way, you had so many years left. I pray for your parents that they will be able to cope with the loss of you.
I pray for this guy in the hospital. I pray that his recovery is quick.
