Sickening.
GOD will hear all our prayers and lead Nancy and Eve on their roads to recovery.
Call N. Alcars
'being serious this one time'
You are a small, pathetic human being. And I use the term "human" lightly.
I am praying for a speedy recovery for this mother and her child.
To Alice:
I can't imagine what you are going through at this time, but my prayers are with you, Nancy, and all of both your families, and my deepest sympathy about Eve. We, your family from Griffin, wish to let you know how sorry we are for all that your families are going through right now. Please keep us posted on how Nancy is doing and the arrangements for Eve.
Your cousin,
Wanda Buffington Rogers
I hope that this woman and child will be okay and it is a horrible incident and could of been prevented.
Dear Jesus, please forgive us all for being so quick to blame or judge others , as we are to be judged in the coming days ! Amen
Is there anything we can do to help this family out, besides our prayers?
I'm not sure why she ran into the back of the tractor trailer (it was getting dark and was raining.....Was the trailer not lit up with lights?)
I will say that the divided hwy is a death trap in places and especially with tractor trailers they get impatient when crossing and they just will pull out because their bigger than us in cars. I've noticed this in particular with the logging trucks. There needs to be accelerations & deceleration lanes at all the turn arounds first off.
But that won't happen. No money for that I'm sure.
Has Eve's death been confirmed?
Please, all who believe and have faith God can move, intercede for this family!
Thoughts and prayers are with you all. I lift you all up at this time. Heavy heart and faithful prayer!
My words may not comfort, but know, I care.
**A Day With You**
Once a day and sometimes more
You knock upon my daydreams door
And I say warmly come right in
I'm glad you're here with me again.
Then we sit down and have a chat
Recalling this, discussing that
Until some task that I must do
Forces me away from you.
Reluctantly I say good-bye
Smiling with a little sigh
For though my daydreams bring you near
I wish that you were really here.
But what reality can not change
My dreams and wishes can arrange
And through my wishing, you'll be brought
To me each day... A happy thought!
