Hug your kids. You never know when you may not get another chance.

Friend & coworker got a call this morning I'm sure none of us can imagine. His 9 year old daughter was with ex wife and they were both killed in a car crash early this morning. She had a history of drugs and alcohol and based on the fact she was going wrong way down the highway it's safe to assume that was likely a factor.

Very sobering. I don't want to let my daughter out of sight. Really makes one take a step back and prioritize things in life.

I will pray for the Overton family.

The clock begins to tick the day we are made and it will not tick forever. I do not believe it matters how we die but how we live. Be someone worth remembering to your loved ones. Be someone people will have been happy to have known. Be someone that is worthy of the life you have been given. Leave more happy memories than regrets.

Be safe.

News like this is sad either way, but once you have kids it takes on a whole new meaning. May the family find comfort sooner rather than later, parents shouldn't experience burying a child.

Heartbreaking. :(

[kwando]

So sad! RIP

[Ah Pook]

I can't even imagine this loss. So sad that a young one was taken too soon.

[pickenup]

That would be hard.

[Bailey Guns]

Yeah... That would be tough.

Children should not go before there parents. The grief is unimaginable.

[KS63]

Terrible.. :(

I will pray for your friend/coworker and his family. They must be overcome by grief and battling anger at the same time knowing the ex-wife/mother had a substance problem. I hope and pray their family grows closer together in this tragedy and they do not point fingers at each other. This has got to be incredibly hard!

I buried my firstborn son a little over 7 years ago. He was 8 and in the care of his grandparents. He was allowed on a atv and it rolled over on him and wasn't found for a while. We were on the way home when we got the call. I know what your coworker is going thru. My thoughts are with the family. Taking courage will give him strength to carry this burden but it never gets lighter.

Condolences to all. Prayers for the family...

OMG, I'm so sorry. It's been just over 3 years since my brother passed unexpectedly (25 years old), and my parents are getting better at coping with/hiding the pain, but it is with them in everything they do.

My condolences to the family of your friend and to all who have shares losses with the group. My wife just list her father and grandmother in a horrible car crash in April (Easter Sunday to be specific .) Luckley god felt it wasn't time to take her mother at the same time, thank god for small miricals. Make sure you tell all the people that are special to you that you love them, hug them, give them kisses for any of us can go at any time. Again lots of prayers going out to your friend and all that have shared.
