Prayers Needed for family that just lost a mother

Well, yesterday I got a call in the evening that one of my friends wife and their 3 young kids were in a serious accident. Two of the kids were taken to an area hospital and the Mom and one of the daughters were lifelined to a hospital in Fort Wayne. The two children at the local hospital were treated for some broken bones, laserations and released. This morning I recieved word that the daughted in Fort Wayne was alert and doing well and she is scheduled to be released sometime tomorrow. However, I found out this evening that God choose to call the mom home to be with Him.

Death is never easy to deal with no matter what the circumstances are. However, this tradgedy is especially tough with there being no warning whatsoever and three young children between the ages of 6-8 involved. Tomorrow the Dad will be sitting his 3 children down and telling them that their mom won't be coming home anymore. I amnot yet a father, but I can't imagine the pain he must feel in his heart.

Pray that God gives him strength to handle the tough times ahead and that somehow something good comes from this. I know it is a slogan we all have heard a thousand times, but I will say it again. Life is fragile, you can be hear one minute and gone the next. Make sure that you are living your life so you know where you will spend eternity. Thanks in advance for all of your thoughts and prayers for the family

My prayers are sent fron New York that is terrible news and being a father i dont know if i would have the strenght to tell my children. i hope the friends and family pull together in tuff times like this. again prayers are sent

Prayers sent...

Their family and friends will be in my prayers...... I cant imagine what they will have to go through but death will come upon everyone and hopefully they will realize that and be able to keep living their lives in a good way. I truly feel terrible for the father and kids and hope everything works out.

My deepest sympathy, my thoughts and my Prayers are with your friend , his children and his family. There are so many things in life that we never understand or can give reason for why they happen but I will ask God in my prayers to give him strength and courage for what lye's ahead

I too certainly will be thinking of him and his family. You wrote a really nice post Dave as there are no guarantees in life.

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers... I work with the fathers Dad. He has not been in to work, but I have talked with him a few times. Of course everyone is taking it rough, but the love and support they are recieving is tremendous. Please continue to keep them in your prayers as the viewing will be Friday and the funeral on Saturday.
