Life is too short
This past Wednesday around 3pm our good friend, Jessica, age 24, died in car accident. She was on her way to work (she helps children with autism) & the weather in Wisconsin was bad - they were having a freak snow storm. She posted earlier that day that her car does not do well in the snow/sleet (she drives a chevy aveo). Later, about 2 hours before she died she posted lyrics from the song "Breath No More" by Evanescence. She was driving through a bad part of the storm, lost control & hit a ford explorer. The man in the other car was fine & only had minor injuries. She died on the scene of the accident.
On 8/19/10 she married our good friend, Quin. He is like another member of our family. I spent a week with her this summer in Rehoboth Beach when she joined us on our annual family vacation She was the sweetest person you will ever meet. We miss her so much and still in shock that she is gone.
Please pray for her family and especially for her husband Quin. We are hoping he will come live with our in-laws in NJ after the funeral during the holidays. His parents aren't a good support system - we are his only "family" members out in Ohio supporting him right now. Tim & I couldn't go to Ohio due to money and logistics, but we are hoping to see Quin over the holidays (possibly as soon as Thanksgiving).

This is so sad. I am sorry for everyone that is involved. I hope that her Husband can recover with time. I will be thinking and praying for you and your husband.
So Tragic! I am so sorry for you loss. My thoughts and prayers will be with all involved!
Take care of yourself.
Life really is too short, and it's so unfair, especially when the person has so much potential and a kind heart.
