What a strange thing to happen, it is almost where her life began, but also where his ended. How bittersweet.

RIP Jim. He was a good man. I used to work at that gas station years ago, and his was always a friendly face when he came in the door.

Lynne, you're in my thoughts today.

A simple story that A-holes have to turn into a bashing of people they hate. Surely a bunch of sick losers.

When Jim saved her life, she was not his fiance. She was married to the man who attacked her.

It was the incident that brought Jim and Lynne together as a couple.
