“It’s gonna be weird not hearing his voice over the intercom,” said resident McKinley Taylor.
Taylor is a 13-year-old girl from Auburn who doesn't know Rod Bramblett personally. Her father gave Fernandes permission to speak with her after she laid down an orange flower where Rod and Paula Bramblett were killed Saturday evening.
“I love Auburn so much. I’ve been going to games since I was a little kid,” Taylor said.
She started crying when she talked about the crash that killed the couple.
