Please keep this family in your prayers. The mother and children were involved in an accident Friday night. The mother had just picked the kids up from the father and was taking them to West Virginia to spend a weekend with them. Two and a half miles after picking the kids up, a vehicle traveling in the opposite lane of 70 around Breezewood had lost control of his truck, traveled through the grass median strip and hit their vehicle head on. The five year old boy was killed instantly (broken neck). His three year old sister has sustained serious injuries (lacerated intestines). She started talking yesterday and asking questions. It looks like she will make it but she has a long road ahead of her. She knows her brother is in heaven. The mother's legs are crushed. They don't know if they will be able to save them or not. I work with the paternal great-aunt. I had worked with the paternal grandmother but she quit about five years ago when her 48 yr. old husband suffered a fatal heart attack. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
Thanks,
Beth
