tragedy

[Karl Robrock <robrock@domain.elided>]

Lisa, the girl I dated for the past two and a half years, died saturday
night. She was struck by a drunk driver while crossing a street on campus.
The driver fled the scene, and left here lifeless, 200 feet from the site
of impact. She was flown to Saint Francis Hospital in Peoria, IL, where
she was pronounced dead. They kept her on life support, although she had
no brain activity. She will be donating organs today.
Her body was unrecognizable, with the exception of her hands and feet,
because of the swelling. Many bones were broken also.
Her parents will be arriving in Chicago today from Italy and will try to
decide what to do for the funeral.
Lisa was 24, studying to become a nurse, and was in her senior year.
She was a kind, mature, loving girl and will be dearly missed.
My last words to her on tuesday were "you are my life".

If any of you recall, I posted about a year and a half ago about a friend
of mine on campus who had his beautiful 164 destroyed by a drunk driver on
campus. It seems inpossible that there are so many people out there that
drive drunk. Please, everybody, make your best efforts to drive safely. I
know I will be changing attitude.
