The electric company apparently noticed she had not paid a bill, visited to turn off the lights, but where is the investigation into why they did not knock on the door, talk with neighbors, or come back when she Still had not paid. Something has gone horribly wrong. Further, I drive that stretch of road daily and don't ever remember seeing her name on a sign before. I'll drive it again and look for it this time.

Especially in this case a woman that did so much for so many. I'm most concerned why her family ALLOWED this to happen, It seems that they should have been persistant and more interested in her well being knowing who she was and what she stood for. It's a dam shame they allowed this to happen to this dear woman. Its hard to say rest in peace but I hope she is at peace.

It is also a story that has been repeated often. In fact, it almost happened to Rosa Parks!!! We must do a better job of protecting and taking care of those who sacrifice so much for US! We say we love them, but love is an action. This is a damn shame. It is also a story that has been repeated often. In fact, it almost happened to Rosa Parks!!!
