She was very beautiful and there is no words to make things better, but keep remembering her in all she had Stan for
I don’t want to sound insensitive but any information on what caused the wreck? Texting while driving, filming while driving, drunk driving, speeding, etc.
Nada they just said she was driving in Kingston on Bacanan road and crashed her car. The car flipped over a few times I listened to her music and nothing was appealing. She is very pretty though may her soul rest.
