ZGrams - Where Truth is Destiny
March 13, 2002
Good Morning from the Zundelsite:
I write this with a very heavy heart.
As I informed my readers this morning, the Internet's famous "Bully
Buster" - also known as Mackenzie/Natalie/Audre - was killed last
night in a car collision. It seems to have been a true accident.
Audre was traveling with her entire family - her disabled father, her
handicapped brother, and her two teenage sons - to nearby Huntsville,
Alabama, to celebrate Jonathan's, her adopted son's. birthday. She
approached a dangerous intersection on a hill that had seen several
accidents before. She was the driver. Another car, traveling at
high speed, collided with her car on the driver's side, and she was
killed instantly.
This morning, when I was told of the accident by Dr. Robert Countess,
who lives nearby and is a close friend of the family, I learned that
her father was still in intensive care. Apparently the other three
passengers were hurt but not requiring hospitalization.
I believe that I was Audre's closest female friend. We corresponded
daily, sometimes as often as four or five times a day. I knew more
about her than most people knew, and when I am composed enough, I
will tell you of the very special person that she was. This girl was
not ready to die. She had plans to go to Palestine. She said she
longed to see the Holy Land, to stare down the Israeli Bully, and let
the world know by raw example what guts and courage meant.
Her funeral is going to be on Sunday. My heart just aches for that
devastated family, especially her two young sons.
For now, I just want to give you an address where you can write and
send your condolences. Do me a favor - don't send her flowers. We
will make sure her casket will have flowers. A simple card with
genuinely felt emotions will do. I know that the family is in very
serious financial difficulties, and they are going to be devastated,
losing not only the only one who held the family together, who did
all the cooking, cleaning, washing but also the only real financial
support that they had. Since the family lived for years in Mexico, I
know there were difficulties setting up a bank account. If you can
help, please do. In lieu of flowers, please send some cash.
Her father's address is:
Ralph Pinque
28625 Sagewood Circle
Toney, Alabama 35773
All day long, messages of shock and grief have poured onto my desk
top. When I am calm enough, I will make a special ZGram of those
letters.
For now, let me just finish this sad ZGram by quoting you my Thought
for the Day, sent by a Revisionist attorney friend who called himself
"Mackenzie's senior advisor" and who cautioned her severely just a
few days ago not to risk life and limb by going all the way to
Palestine. He put it poignantly when he learned of her sudden death:
"I guess she made it to the Holy Land after all."
