I never had the pleasure of knowing kelly personally but I bet she had a beautiful soul, unfortunately this is another tragic event where the system failed and an innocent life was lost. I know all to well of what she went through but she's in a better place and I hope George is doing well your a hero in my book

Don’t be so quick to judge people, especially if you don’t know the whole situation. It’s a sad moment in many families and friends lives. We need to support rather than condemn.
