Never get in the car with a person who has been drinking.

I am so sorry for your loss Mrs Ruiz. I never knew your daughter but I knew Sara though through her brother Michael. Also Mike, Frank, and Robin my heart goes out to you.

To the brave anoyomus Monte Loma resident whose comments state "never get into the car with a person who has been drinking" you should clarify your statement to never in a car with someone who is a murderer! Kelly or Sara WAS NOT behind the wheel, Beau was. He played God and took their young lives away...shame on you. Hassan Amidhozour..Thank you for you loving thought. God bless you.

those girls made the choice to get in the car with him.. i am sure he didn't force them in and they were probably aware he was drinking...i would never get in a car with someone drinking but they made a awful mistake of trusting him. it was a horrible accident, and he will have to pay for the decision he made for the rest of his life whether it be in jail or not. i just don't understand why anyone would drink and drive seeing stuff like this happens all the time and it's always on the news. what a waste of so much life they had.... and her poor son will grow up without a mother.. i hope this guy will never forget the void he left in their families lifes...... they were both so beautiful... my condolences go out to these young ladies families. GODSPEED.

Bleb just viewed you comment...No beau didn't force them into the car and no they were not aware of him being so drunk!!Beau was Double the limit. Kelly and Sara were innocent victims of this horrific crime that Beau is guilty of. It really doesn't matter if they were aware or not, they are not on trail here, Both died at the hands of Beau, so stop softing up the murder that he decided to do. Total responiblity is on Beau, don't you ever forget that!! It just erks me to see him out and about, laughing at Starbucks with his friends, and enjoying life. Too bad Kelly and Sara didn't have that choice

Beau is a wonderful guy and has had his life torn apart by this tragic ACCIDENT. He would trade his life in a second to bring the life back of those girls. He did not murder them, it was a tragic mistake. I've known Beau for a long time - and he isn't the same Beau. He never smiles.... and it's difficult to get him outside the house. He will pay the price for the rest of his life and he'll never forget what happened to Sara and Kelly...

Bottom line: drinking and driving do not mix.

Anita has every right to be angry. Her beloved daughter Kelly is gone from this world forever, and has left an empty space is many people's hearts that knew and loved her. It's just horrific that her son must now face life without his mother too. My heart goes out to Sara's family as well.
