A Great Friend

Jessica B. - 1977 - 2008



A Fredericksburg bicyclist was killed yesterday after being hit by a car on Hartwood Road in Stafford County.

State Police Spokesman Sgt. F.L. Tyler said Jessica B., 31, of Fredericksburg was struck while riding a bicycle on Hartwood Road, almost a mile north of U.S. Route 17.

Tyler said Fredericksburg resident Candice Virginia Bushey, 30, was driving a 1996 Ford Contour southbound on the road and hit the bicyclist from behind shortly after 9 a.m. yesterday.

State Police said the victim died at the scene. - The Free-Lance Star

My deepest condolences for what is a tragic loss.

She is the first person of what I consider "my group of friends" to be taken from us.

(I knew the other bander who died a few years ago, but honestly, I didn't know him.)

It really brings your mortality face to face with your intellect.

Coupled with my doctor saying "drop your cholesterol" and my birthday next week...well...

I regret never having caught up with her even though I knew she was up in this general vicinity. That is no one's fault but my own and I will have to live with it.

My condolences. I am a cyclist, and I see majority of these SCUMS, in their cars with shit for care for others' safety. Yes, I am 'assuming' that this was the motorists fault, based in personal observations of the way these human germs drive on the road!!!!

I wish her family the best!

I agree with maggie. halo666 sounds like a complete mental douchebag. It's ashame that there are people like this still in the world. i bet he wouldn't have the balls to say that to the motorists family.
