I respect her courage I know I would rather die than live like that

Wow, this is where I grew up (in Lattimore). It is a beautiful town and maybe one day my children can grow up there. It is a very caring community.  The people of Double Springs and Lattimore were good to my family when my grandmother passed away.

No one sets out to make money on documentaries - they only try to share stories that would otherwise go unheard. A selfish comment is the only exploit here.....

i see that this was uploaded right after the woman's passing. it's always nice to exploit death for your own professional advancement.
