October 7th, 2005.
Today was the Inquest into your death. The accident was discussed and alcohol nor drugs were an issue.
The jury asked no further questions into why you were taken, but deliberated and decided that no one was at fault.
"In the deaths of Kevin McCord and Kenneth Holtman, we the jury find them to be accidental."
I cried hard but I know that I cannot bring you back, the driver is brain dead and will not survive, so why should I go any further. I know I will see you again, and then you can tell me what really happened! I love you!
