DH just called me to tell me that one of the guys that he works with was killed in a car accident last night. I've met him once or twice. He also was learning DH's job so that if he needed to take off then he could. It was one of DH's best friends at work. Even though I didn't know him that well I of course cried when he told me.



You just never know when it could happen. He has 5 kids ranging in ages from



2-10 I think.

We are going to a memorial service on Sunday. Just keep his family and friends in your prayers.



Thank you,


OMG! How terrible. Please give Eric a big hug from me and tell him my heart cries with him for the loss of his friend. I'll keep you all in my prayers.

thats terrible Tabitha. I'm so sorry to hear this.

Will do. Thank you M-C. I just keep thinking I wish there was something that I could do. All I can do is pray and be there for Eric.

He was only 30 something too. Other than leaving his wife I think the other saddest thing is the 5 kids. Especially the younger ones. My heart cries out for his wife and kids.

Thanks again M-C.

One of my best friends died in a car accident a few years back. He was 29 and had an 18 month old son. The day after he died, my GF, his wife, found out she was pregnant. In time she put her life back together again, remarried and had a 3rd child. But it wasn't easy. Mario and France were such a special couple and he was without a doubt one of the nicest, kindest souls I've ever known. We were all heartbroken. Just being there for Eric is a great thing.

I just couldn't believe it when he told me. Itss been a very hard day for everyone at his work.

Thank you Michelle.

Oh my goodness.. It must have been hard to find out she was pregnant and that he or she wouldn't know their dad. I'm happy to hear that she has moved on. Oh I bet. I'll do my best to be there for him. Give him lots of hugs and kisses and cry with him. I'm good at crying that's for sure.

Tabitha, I am so sorry. I have a girlfriend down there in Orange City she lost her 23 year old son to an auto accident. My heart ached for her. So I can understand how you feel. My prayer go out to you and his family. Hugs Irene

I'm so sorry to hear about the news. Will keep you all in my prayers.

Definitely will keep his family and friends in prayer. That's rough especially when you have little ones. One of my best friends lost her husband to liver failure when their child was 6 months old. She's had a rough go of it. Cynth

Tabitha, You all are in my prayers. I am so sorry for Rick's loss of a friend. Will keep you in my thoughts.

Hugs, Sabrina in Kentucky

a good friend is a life long treasure

Thank you Cynthia. Oh my. I couldn't even imagine.

Thank you Sabrina. I know that Eric and everyone else at his work were remembering all the good times today.

This family, your DH, and you will be in my prayers, Tabitha. The best thing you could probably do is just be there for you hubby.

Oh Tabitha, my prayers are with your DH for losing such a close friend, but especially a DAD. You are so right, WE never know when something like that could happen. That is why WE ALL need to be thankful AND mindful of what we have and what WE as Americans take for granted.

God Bless and HUGS to you nad him and that family.
