To all the Clayton and Johnston county kids driving on the roads, please slow down, wear your seat belt and be careful. It is so sad hearing another name in the news from our area dying in a car wreck today. I hate us being the leading county in teen automobile wrecks. So think about that when you get on your car tomorrow.I miss you Karissa Lewis and I am thinking of your amazing daughter you left behind that you are watching from heaven now. ♥ From: Lillie
Yes, she went to Clayton High School and graduated in 2010, with my daughter. I am unsure where it happened but 2 happened on the same day. The other accident did not hurt the driver but the one I am talking about caused a death. Sherry
This is all I could find. I'll ask my daughter if she has a better link on the accident. Sherry http://www.newsargus.com/obituaries/ KARISSA ANNE LEWIS Karissa Anne Lewis, 20, died on Thursday.
