Mary Fast Horse died Monday night. How do I know this? I made eye contact with one of her relatives today on the job. His eyes carried a heavy burden which prompted me to ask if he was okay. His reply was, "No a family member died." His family member was Mary Fast Horse. She was drinking at Romeo's bar in Rapid City, the liquor gave her a false sense of warmth. She left the bar without her shoes or coat, curled up next to a dumpster and froze to death.
What causes a person to die this way and a city that seems to have indifference? Is this a reflection of Rapid City or a one time occurrence?
May God have peace on her soul and give her family comfort.
