Sunni Jo Grant: Obituary and Memorial for the Mother Shot to Death in Klamath

This section includes both obituaries and memories. Honoring our loved ones who have died does not end immediately after their passing. We recognize that… so we’re extending our obituary section to include individuals who may have left a long time ago. If you want to remember someone who is gone, either recently or longer ago, please send a photo and a few sentences to [email protected]. Tell us why you would like to honor the person–is it their birthday, the date of their passing or some other date of significance to you? Pet remembrances are also welcome.

It was. The murderers were going after another person, but hit her instead.

Rest in peace sweet lady! Hopefully justice will be served. Maybe if these people committing all this mayhem,murder,etc.were really held accountable for their actions and given stiffer penalty’s,like chain gangs,and if you get the death penalty,you should get it asap!! Criminals know our system doesn’t do shit. So what do they fear?? This young woman didn’t do anything except to protect her child. My deepest heart felt prayers to this family

Nuts…it is a mad, mad world. So sick of hearing about violence, living with violence, fearing violence. A sweet young mama ripped from her precious son.
Freaks, tweekers and thieves, with a false reality. <3
Hey people put the gun away…this ain't no f*****g video game…it's life. So sad. Prayers to the family.

Rumor has it you used to be less despicable. Not sure if it is true, but someone said that. Not me, but someone.

Im just saying you would be surprised of how much the justice system& the people are misjudging a situation.& in my opinion classifying the wrong person as the murderer.
Also i believe God does everything for a reason & knows what hes going to do before its done. The wonderful Lady may she R.I.P in Paradice no matter what shes anAngel & where she’s meant to be. And i only say this because the exact act could have been me, you or anyone. Only God Knows.

If this was a seriously horrible case & the suspects were just awful & evil i would understand.. & sum could be

but i know one of them is nothing of the sort. Atleast I hope &; honestly id classify very intelligent & honorable kind & very generous.
