Thank you for your nice comment Buzz, the outpouring of support in my Mother's communities of Forestdale and Sandwich as well as Mattapoisett and Fairhaven (where my family resides) has been wonderful.

Please stop by our new site dedicated to the memory of my mother, where we will be posting info and links on the criminal charges as Mr. Parker goes through the court system as well as updates on our new battle to see the DWI laws in our state tightened. I can think of no excuse as to why this man was even allowed out on the streets after so many DWI offenses. http://dianecarhart.blogspot.com

Thanks again,

Diane Carhart was a wonderful caring person who will be missed by all who were fortunate to know her. I received word today, March 10, 2007, that Christopher Parker has been charged with Vehicular Homicide. We had a wonderful gathering of family and friends at her wake yesterday evening and today during her funeral the church was packed, a true testiment to what a wonderful person she was. This needless tragedy was caused by a man who has no less the 5 charges of operating under the influence, numerous speeding violations, and who was driving a borrowed car under a revoked license. Unfortunately street lights or stop lights would not have stopped his obious disrespect of anything other then himself. We hope he lives with the devastation he has inflicted on our family for the rest of his life...but then again anyone who is so selfish most likely does not have a conscience. I will try to be in court each and every day to keep the memory of Diane, my mother, alive.
