DISRESPECT FOR FUNERAL PROCESSION

WHAT HAS happened to the people of today's society? A few weeks ago I buried my mother. As we were traveling down Interstate 581 to the cemetery, people getting on and off at the exits would cut in and out of the line of cars.

One lady cut in between my car and my brother's and then slowed to hold up the line. Have we become so busy that we can't slow or stop for 30 seconds to show some respect? This fine lady was my mother. She deserved the respect she would have given you. MIKE HARRIS BOTETOURT COUNTY
