Bj Legros Kelley May 15, 2025 at 4:52 PM So very sad. Her face was lifted to heaven as a saint and met with a horrible act of violence in response, when the lustful monster was refused. I'm so sorry to hear this is a true story, may God bless her and heal her. Was this recent? Kim Rodrigues May 15, 2025 at 6:44 PM 15 or more years ago. Thanks for your comment.
