  Woman injured in crash off Bay Shore pier dies
  

  "The women knew each other through a Jehovah's Witness community in Central Islip, where both were members, officials and friends said."

  "Police withheld Halvorsen's identity for four days because no next of kin could be located. But by Thursday night, her religious community had contacted a nephew who then contacted the county medical examiner's office, police said. Attempts by Newsday to reach Mueller's children and Halvorsen's nephew were unsuccessful."

  Maybe their kids were disfellowshipped? Such warm family ties.....

  What a sad story, 2 older sisters out driving and having an accident..

  i agree about their children, probably disfellowshipped, it took the religious community 4 days to find someone kin to her, cynic in me says to find someone else to pay for the funeral, for sure the religion they gave their lives and their children up for wont.

  I worry about this with my mom. She has cut me and my sister, her closest relatives, out of her life. We would probably be notified by her elders if something happened. She WILL NOT speak to us, even via email. Sad religion.

  I wonder how many people on this board no longer keep in touch with their family - don't give them a forwarding address or phone number any longer? On the other hand, how many on this board no longer receive any contact from their families leaving them to beleive that their families don't wish to have that forwarding address or phone number. sammieswife.
