Comments
Debra Louise Allen Highway 94
Debra Allen was a bright star in a hospital setting where there is great discomfort, pain and fear. She was a beacon to even people who did not know her personally. My deep condolences to her mother and daughter. Know that I met her 24 hours before she passed, and she was like an angel to me, going out of her way to help me, a stranger. There be no way better to go, than knowing you reached out to a stranger, and the stranger mourns your leaving.
Geography
I can see how the "regular" press doesn't know where things are out here but you should know better. Dulzura is 20 miles WEST of Tecate road not east!
east vs. west
This description came straight from the coroner's report, FYI. But you're right - someone there didn't check their maps! Thanks for the catch.
