How horrible! My heart is so heavy for everyone involved. What a tragedy that Mrs. Mamie Peterson was taken from her family this way. I pray that God will comfort the hearts of her family, friends and community. From the comments it appears that Mrs. Peterson was an outstanding woman and she will be greatly missed. How horrible for the driver, Sheila Cashmore also. Such a young girl that will have to live with this the rest of her life. What a horrible cross to bear. However, I do agree with “Kim”. That is why they call it accidents. May God comfort Sheila Cashmore and her family and friends also. She is certainly going through a lot right now and will have many rough days ahead of her. I can not fathom losing a family member or loved one so tragically, nor could I fathom walking in the drivers shoes. Only God will see both sides through this nightmare. Many prayers for all involved.

Accidents are always sudden, unexpected and tragic, of course it hurts from both sides, I lost a sister in 2006 from a careless driver, supposedly he was a police officer, I’m still hurting and grieving, now I (we) have lost another family member,.Mrs. Mamie Peterson was my late granddad’s (Willie Jones) sister, I didn’t grow up around her but she was one of the aunt’s and uncle I did know, I looked forward to seeing her every year in McKenzie, Al for revival at New Oak Grove Church, she was an outspoken christian for the Lord, sassy without saying, and loved to sing, we always expected her to speak and sing at revival, I hope she has a great homegoing CELEBRATION, NOT FUNERAL, because this is what she would have done for us, I hope all the family and friends reach their destination to Florida safely, stay in prayer because God always has the final word, it hurts, but we are anchored, in Jesus,we are a strong family, keep on praying,Aunt Mamie we ALL loved you, wish we would have said it more, I know you are sleeping until Jesus comes, You Florida residents need to get together and have something done about the highway before it happens to you, you could be the driver or the victim, do it now, no more senseless dying. Amen.

Mrs. Petterson, was my sister in law, I have known her all my life, when I was small my father would take my mother and sister and brother to Mamie house in pensacola every sunday, she would prepared sunday dinner and we would have a good time. even though Mamie was married to Mr. Petterson she was allway our sister in law. because she was such a good person, she never had a harsh word to say about anyone. It saddend my heart that she left this world so tragic, no one deserve to leave in such a manner, she will be soley missed, and for the young woman who cause this tragic, at 7:30 in the evening it is not dark, to the point that you cannot tell the different between and person or animal, she was standing by her mailbox, it does not matter how dark her clothes were, if you were paying attention to the road and the speed limit , you would be able to react in time. I have travel that road closed to the midnight hour, and the speed limit is 45 and I try to obey the limit, I have pass deer and other animal on the road and also people on bikes, but I am alert to the fact that this is a dark road, and if you do not pay attention, you could cause a mishap, I have heard all of what happen, only you know what you were doing, from the mark in the road you ran off the road. what were you doing? texting, talking on the phone or were you upset because you had to work. As I said only you and God know the reason, and the truth will come out one way or the other. For the Petterson family, My prayers are with you, We love Mamie and we will missed her beautiful smile, soft spoken words. May God hold and wipe away all your tears in time to come.

Its so horrible the way my Granny died. I just can’t register it right now people. I have a lot of memories of a strong black woman who loved the lord deeply with all of her Heart people. I have been reading all the comments and some are just hurtful to me and some are very sweet my family. We lost a sound minded woman,who could roll with best of them at her age and younger. My Grandmother was smart, savvy and yes sassy. Please people until you get the true facts be mindful of what you say.

Sorry to hear that this had to happen to both parties. After reading the comments from others on this, I would like to say that assumptions of the driver speeding or reckless in any form is pointless. You never know the circumstances which led up to that accident. No one commenting is a police officer or expert. The fact is both families have a lot to deal with. Prayers go out to both parties involved.

First of all people, learn how to write and SPELL!

I think it’s sad that everyone is so quick to point fingers at the driver for doing something wrong. Yes, it’s a tragic event – but not at the fault of the driver. Have you ever been on that road at night time? You cannot see a single thing even if you have your head lights on bright. Don’t you think this poor girl feels bad enough and you have to go and call her a killer? Wow, grow up people. I am sorry for your loss but why try to ruin the life of someone else for something that was not her fault? If you want to blame anyone, blame the city for poor lighting. This could have happened to any of us.
