A chapter was closed Thursday – nearly eight months to the day after George was killed in his cycling accident – when the District Attorney called my Dad and sister-in-law to announce that the driver of the car accepted a plea bargain. She will plead guilty and will
participate in a 30 day alternative work program (in lieu of jail time served). She must also perform 200 community hours, serve 3 years probation and pay restitution fees. I’m still waiting to see all of the final details of the sentencing but at this point its just a formality. There will be no trial nor any final/formal sentencing date when we would see the driver – and she would have to face the family whose lives she forever changed on May 5, 2015.

very poignantly said. I have found the path is a long, hard continuous one after you lose a sibling, but each day you move forward just a little. Each of us have our own ‘baggage’ but know that so many of us are here to help you with that baggage if you need it. Blessing to you and the whole family.
