Terrible! Her dad is George Kersh. World class track athlete himself (if he is the George Kersh I am thinking of)

Tragic, at least her and her family got the happiness that graduation brought her!

Sad news. Prayers for her family. It has to be tough.

We never know when our card will come up, at any age. But, it is especially sad to see a young person with so much ahead to have it end suddenly.

My daughter ran with her in HS and George was their coach. I remember her always will to help with the younger girls, but she was in a class of her own. We ran in a Jr Olympic 800 Meter race during the summer and she came in 2nd place running against the men! She was a sweeet girl! There is a candlelight prayer vigil for her tonight at Pearl High School at the track.

I saw this on the news. Sounds as though she was in the backseat without a seat belt on. Such a shame....please wear your seat belt folks.

There really aren't words good enough to comfort her family for this loss. Losing someone so young and just starting the prime of their life is horrible.

I buried my nephew before his 25th birthday and to this day it still haunts me.

My condolences to her friends and family.
