I'm so sorry.  I can't imagine.  Thank you for sharing this though, as it really does put into perspective what I'm in the midst of.

Huge (hugs) to all of you.  I really hope the light starts to shine again.

This reminds me, sadly, of a time when we lived on the Oregon Coast.  A tragic accident, just like this, happened.  Car crash, banged up family, except for their oldest son, who was killed instantly.  I worked with one of the kids that went to high school with the boy. Small community, terrible loss for everyone.  So, so sad.  I will continue to pray for you and your family also.

Thank you all so much for your sweet and supportive messages. Visitation has been scheduled for tomorrow afternoon from 4 to 7 with the funeral Wednesday morning at 10.

This is all so senseless. The driver of the pickup that hit Tony's van was cited for speeding and for careless and imprudent driving. The policeman who worked the accident has issued subpoenas for the truck's black box and for the driver's cell phone record. Depending on the results, he may file vehicular manslaughter charges. It is so sad. The driver is only 26 years old and still in the hospital with a lacerated liver.

We are taking comfort in knowing that Tony is in heaven with his dad. The support from family and friends, including my cyberbuddies here, has been tremendous.

Thanks again,
Sara

Dear Sara,
I'm so sorry about the tragic loss in your family. I will be praying for you all too.
I commented on your daughter's game earlier without reading this post. I didn't realize what had happened in your family.
I'm praying God's comfort and help will be very evident to your family.

Thanks everyone. As soon as I've taken a shower and picked up the kids, we're on our way to the visitation. The funeral is tomorrow at 10 a.m. Keeping busy has been helpful.

Thanks again for all the love and support.
