I Like Loretta’s Style. I Heart Huntsville

Three of the four funerals for the victims of last week’s bus crash have taken place.

The Huntsville Times has stories on the funerals of Nicole Ford, Tanesha Hill, and Christine Collier. Crystalle McCrary’s funeral will take place today.

Protesters from “that church” are in Huntsville and are picketing the funerals. The Huntsville Times’ response to their presence was a mere mention in the Nicole Ford story. Huntsville Mayor Loretta Spencer confined the protesters to a small, cordoned-off space 100 yards away from the funerals. She then proceeded to park city buses in front of the self-appointed prophets so that those arriving at the funerals couldn’t see them. Across the street, anti-protesters held up signs reading, “God is love,” “Judge not and ye shall not be judged,” and “Let them grieve in peace.”

I like Loretta’s style. I heart Huntsville.

    She’s got style and class. She’s got my vote (again).

    I thought that was great I didn’t know who was responsible. So sad our prayers will continue. It was Jamie’s co-worker sister that was buried today. I cannot imagine the grief. You missed yesterday, will tell you in person next time we see you or Wife.

    Laura, I heard that class went well and that some good, first-person perspectives on the accident and some of the victims were offered.
