Thurman Abernathy. Dead.

Those three words texted to me Thursday sent my mind into a tailspin.  It almost felt like I slammed the brakes going a 100mph.

People were notified and the responses were expected.

“He finally made it to hell.”

“Did he suffer? I hope he suffered.” 

“So the @#hole died.”

“I guess he’s getting his first taste of hell.”

“…at least now he will face judgement.”

“His punishment begins now.”

“Hopefully he gets what he deserves now.”

The responses from the family and friends on FB were directly opposite. I wanted to dispute every single one of them.
