Emily Skrabacz was a much-loved daughter, she was 19 when her life was abruptly ended by an accident caused by a drunk driver. The girl’s mother remembers: “The car hit her and she died instantly”. Emily’s family is still devastated and regularly visits her grave to remember her.
Where the accident happened, people who knew her came and laid flowers for her, the mother talks about this place: “Sometimes I can stay here and while I remember her, I can feel closer to her”. Over time, what started with a few bouquets turned into a real memorial place, which means that the young woman was loved.
But one day, less than two years after the girl’s murder, Catherine discovered something horrible, a heartbreaking note, she couldn’t believe what she was reading: “How long will you be collecting garbage on this beautiful street?” What started with a cross and some bouquets is now an illegal landfill. Not even the cross can be seen because of the garbage you keep bringing. Please clean up. “
The mother decided not to be defeated, so she took a stand: she posted the note on Facebook, and messages of support began to flow from people around the world! The woman acknowledged that these messages turned her tears of sadness into tears of joy. It was not all about virtual support, since then more and more people, who did not know the girl, came to the memorial site and brought more and more flowers.
One day a car stopped next to the mother and a man got out of it and told her that he was very grateful for the memorial place, because he also lost his son. Although the girl’s family was devastated by the note, all the kindness that flowed from the people due to a gratuitous wickedness was incredible!
