HI first of all I am soo sorry for your lose but at the same time I can relate totally to this!! Only 5 weeks ago I lost my father & brother to a drunk driver! neither one of them drank it was the guy in another truck that got all drunk and smashed into them head on. I also have a site on here...it's rest in peace my daddy & little brother. Check it out. It's such a shame that families like ours have to pay for mistakes that careless losers cause. But in our case the jerk also killed himself that night...got off easy as we have to deal w/ all the heartache for a senseless act!!!!

Bullshit by: Anonymous
Drunk driving is bullshit and I totally understand exactlly how you feel. |I lost two people that matter alot to me and almost lost a third. I honestly think that the guy that was driving should pay for what he did. Its only fair and only right.

lost my brother on Jan 14th 06 my b-day sounds similar to our case. by: lorri standley
my name is lorri. my brother David 29 at the time was having a guys day out w/ 2 friends. day ends alls good they go back to friend # 1's house to visit more, well friend #1's lil brother is there, known alcoholic, drug user of any kind. no good junky. to make a long story short, my brother and the two friends #1 & 2 had been drinking at the friend#1's house,li'l brother of the friend # 1 has to go to bar less then three miles away for whatever reason, I'll never know my brother decided to go along w/friend #2 and a whole car of other ppl, little brother is completely drunk .228 I'll never know if my brother new how drunk or even that lil bro was drunk, so they all three left to go to bar, my brother friend #2 and li'l brother, lil bro drove so fast passing other car playin chicken turn headlights on & off, well he passed one to many times and went off road about 60 feet until he hit two huge oak trees my baby brother was killed instantly they say, all 3 were ejected friend # 2 ended up w/ broken neck several stitches and eternal pain from the death of his best friends life right next to him, lil bro broke both his arms from steering wheel, even had the steering wheel imprint on his chest, but he said he wasnt driving so he 1st tried to say my brother was the driver, when that didn't work he said friend # 2 was driving. like i said this happened Jan 14,2006. we just went to trial on July 26th 2007, after several postponements, we started to think we would be dead before we ever saw justice. we got our guilty verdict finally thanks to a great D.A. we got manslaughter 1 for the death of my brother assault2 for friend #2's injury's and lil brother also got his fourth DUII, in the state of oregon if you have 3 duii's and hurt or kill someone it's called a measure 11 a mandatory 10 years no early time good time not a day less the 120 months. we go to sentencing on Sept 24th of this month. pls be patient it really does take time, if you have a good d.a. and reconstructionist it will work out, i hope. you can write me at lstandley@rosenet.net w/ any questions maybe i can help you. i at least feel your pain in the death of my brother, it is not a loss, i didn't lose my brother, he was killed by a drunk, i hate the word loss or lost, ppl don't understand when they say sorry for your loss, its more like thieft cause the drunk sure did not have my permission to screw up my life as it used to be, nor did he have the right to kill my brother. don't let ppl say well your brother got in the car either because until you can find it in the drivers manual it is not a crime it is the poorest judgement but yours and mine paid the ultimate price for their poor judgement, so pls feel free to write me, maybe we can help each other, i really havent talked to anyone who has had a brother killed by a drunk and not been a drunk themselves just in trying to deal w/ the grief. i live in a very small town in oregon
