'Sweet Young Kids Should Not Die'

Dear Source:
We live in New Hope, PA in the town where Jamie Cockayne lived. He was such a nice young man. He always had a smile on his face and he lit up the room when he walked in.
I am so very sorry for the family. Words cannot express our feeling for Jamie's Mom and Dad and Brother. My son is so sad. He was so happy for Jamie to finally get his captain's license and to be living on his own and on his own terms.
Why do people kill people? Sweet young kids should not die. Jamie was a sweet, young man. God bless him.
Bev Rickles
New Hope, Pa.
