From my alma mater died this past weekend in a single car accident just outside of Birmingham. From what I have been told she had a blowout and lost control of her SUV, hitting the concrete wall on the side of the interstate...I'm not really sure of all of the details. We weren't really friends, but did speak on occasion. She was one of those people that always has a smile on her face and is always willing to help someone if they need it. Being a small city, it has really hit a lot of people pretty hard around here. She was 17 years old and was set to graduate in June.
