Overwhelming Gratitude

Thank you all so much for your prayers for my family. On Sunday, August 31st my mom's nephew and his wife were in a motorcycle accident. My mom and her nephew are the same age and grew up more like siblings rather than aunt-nephew. He sustained multiple fractures including ribs and shoulder bones, along with a collapsed lung. He underwent surgery to have a plate put in his shoulder and was released from the hospital late last Friday evening. His wife sustained a severe head injury despite the fact that she was wearing a helmet. Early Sunday morning, after being in a coma for nearly a week, she succumbed to her injuries. She was 47 years old. They have four children, all in their early 20's.

This is such a sad time for our whole family. My mom was very grateful that she was with Leah in West Virginia when they got the news. My mom is back home now and will leave for Texas on Thursday morning. After she returns we will remove this post and the previous post as they would be a constant reminder of unbearable sadness and this is not how she wants her niece remembered. She was such a kind and loving person always ready with a big smile and laugh. She enjoyed life and they had the kind of marriage most can only dream about. We were lucky to have her in our family and will miss her for the rest of our lives.
