I did not leave my house to commit the event, and today I am here to accept and pay for the error I made ” he said He added: “I did not know the girl. I know she would have had a nice future and I can only tell the relatives that I beg their forgiveness “ http://www.newsroompanama.com/news/panama/jailed-driver-asks-forgiveness-cyclist-death Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger B Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I know the father of Monica. I have talked him a couple of times since that terrible day. We have talked about business and other stuff but never about this tragic accident. I couldn't do it. I knew he is not the same man since that day. He is carrying a heavy burden in his heart. She was his baby and it hurts too much when something like this happened to your son or daughter. A father should never bury a son/daugther.
