Mother and two young children run over crossing the street

I’m also one of Marcy’s cousins and she was one of the nicest people I have ever met. Like everyone else said, she was a loving, smart person who would always watch out for anyone. It kills me to see how reckless people are with their words and how some of these comments are outright disgusting. No one knows what happened and no one will know for sure what was going on that night. As for the people bashing her for taking the two kids, what would you do if you were stranded? If noone was around and she had to get somewhere to get help, are you going to leave two very young kids in the car alone on the side of a highway while you try to get help? I’m sure knowing her, she was thinking how devestaing that could be if they got hurt or if someone came along and took them while she was tyring to get help. She probably focused on that, after all people cross roads all the time. I’ve seen people cross the highway quite a bit when broken down, etc to get to the other side. If somethings wrong and you see a help just across the highway (gas station, house, etc.) what are you going to do, walk down the highway possibly for miles in hopes to find help again? It’s a tradgedy and horrible accident that the timing just was not right. Please just let her be remembered as the smart, beautiful, loving, friendly, happy woman she was and that this was just a horrible accident that took someone we all love out of this world WAY too soon.

God bless you Mandi, Mike and your families

For all of you posting your negative remarks about this incident really should be careful! I agree, what comes around goes around. I recently had a very tragic situation happen that made major headlines and it’s assholes like yourselves and the media that made it so much worse. This family was amazing and so was Marci, leave them alone - go get a job or something or go find another post you can rip people apart, this family doesn’t deserve it.

I guess Marci’s other cousin knew her better than the rest of the family.

Children Hit On I-495 Were Killed By Aunt
LOWELL, Mass. (WBZ) ― The Middlesex District Attorney’s Office says a woman purposely walked her niece and nephew into oncoming traffic on I-495 in Lowell last week.

Marcelle Thibault, 39, of Bellingham, her 5-year-old niece Kaleigh Lambert and her 4-year-old nephew, Shane Lambert, both of Brentwood, New Hampshire, were killed on Jan. 11 when they were hit by oncoming traffic.

“We believe that Ms. Thibault took her niece and nephew and walked with them into oncoming traffic on Route 495, tragically resulting in the deaths of the two young children while taking her own life in the process,” District Attorney Gerry Leone said in a statement.

Please, let’s not get everyone coming on here and saying that the negative comments people were leaving were correct after all.
This is a nightmare. Pure and simple. How someone survives this mentally, and even physically is beyond me.
Let’s just drop it, and hope that this poor family can find some peace in their world again somehow.

This is pathetic. After hearing more details about this tragic event I am in disbelief at the coldness and ignorance of people passing judgement on someone they do not even know. I grew up with Marci’s family and everyone is devastated. Marci was a wonderful, caring woman who was loved by so many. Think about what you are writing. Her children and her children’s friend will read these nasty posts. My god, have some compassion. I hope to god that nothing will happen as tragic as this in one of your families—

Unfortunately, noone will know what really happened. But do anyone of us have the right to judge? Think about what you are writing, THINK.

Wow parent….Marci was on anti-depressants? So, this is your theory on why this happened? Are you kidding me? Wise up loser—-Marci was on anti-depressants along with probably 90% of the population—so, this is your explanation? Read a book! Get a life.

Not a cousin~

It apparent what happened. Which by the way—should any of us really know??? I mean, does it do good to any of the family and friends of Marci and Mandi do actually know the full details? This should have been kept private—it simply just adds to the sensationalism of this tragic even.

This woman murdered these innocent children in a way that was both excruciatingly painful and overwhelmingly scary for the children.

You can spin it any way you want, but that is the fact, not an opinion. Even the DA has ruled it a *MURDER*. Too bad she isn’t still alive to spend the rest of her life in prison. Death was too easy of a punishment for her.

I’ll bet once her family gets over the initial shock and denial, they will be pissed instead of making excuses for why she did it. There are lots of depressed people that don’t murder their sisters kids.

i just want to say that regardless of the situation, despite the news, and no matter what has been said by who, this is a tragedy. as a person from bellingham who indirectly knew the family, i am appalled by some of the hurtful things that have been said about this woman. it doesn’t matter how you speculate. you can think what you want. but have the courtesy to realize that Marci was someone’s family, and that that family still loves her, through and through. have you heard of unconditional love?! put yourself in the tragic situation, and think about how you would feel if this was someone close to you, and seeing these hurtful things written about them? think what you want, you are entitled todo that, but have some respect for the thibault family and the coady family and everyone else who has been affected by this tragedy. if you don’t have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all, because you are only going to make the healing process that much more difficult for anyone who may stumble upon this. think before you speak.

my prayers are with the family. you have my sympathy.
