Linda Catalano
On the evening of August 3, 2008 at the intersection of Cedar Street near 6th Street in Forestville, Michigan, then fifty-five year old mother and grandmother, My mom Linda Catalano had just completed a garage sale and had left her home located at 5510 Cass River Road, Minden City to pick up some garage sale signs remaining along the road. She was driving east on Cedar Street in Forestville in a 1997 Chrysler Town & Country Mini-Van when she stopped the vehicle along the roadway to pick up some of her signs.
My mom then placed her vehicle into park and opened the door and stepped out of the subject vehicle to pick up her garage sale signs, with the engine running and the driver's side door open. After a delay sufficient for my mom to exit the subject vehicle, the vehicle self-shifted into reverse, knocking my mom to the ground and dragging her underneath the left front tire, where it pinned her. As a result of this accident, my mom sustained fatal blunt force neck trauma which resulted from the separation of the C-2/C-3 neck vertebrae.
Ms. Catalano left behind three children, Brian Catalano, Christina Catalano, and Bradley Catalano, and grandchildren, who adored her and miss her to this day.
