My granddaughter was 7 years old when her mother's car was struck by a drunk driver running a stop sign. Her 17 year old aunt died on the spot, her mother and three siblings seriously injured, though they have since recovered fully. Nichole suffered head injuries in spite of her seat belt and never opened her blue eyes again, though she lived a week after the accident. She is buried in an adjoining plot with her aunt, Margie Robinson 17, and her maternal grandfather, Floyd Robinson, has since been buried next to Margie. Three plots away from her is her greatgrandfather, my dad, Francis S.Hughes. I can still see him holding her on his knee, and know in my soul that they are both okay. The driver that hit them was given a nine year prison sentence, and is now released after serving 3 of the 9. He served a year and a half for each murder.
