"I have my parents, my husband, my husband's family," she said.

Their headstones narrowly escaped damage.

The vehicle involved is missing a light that says "Ford" on the back.

"You can't let people rest in peace. You have to worry about the dead when you should be worried out the living," Malinsky said. "You just ask why? What is the pay off? What is the pay of for some one who did this?
