The picture is a car in which my Aunt was a passenger. Her 94-year old friend, Leah, was driving them home on Monday when they had the accident. A few hours after the accident my Aunt Doris succumbed to her injuries. The friend is in stable condition, but now must live knowing that the accident killed my Aunt. Please keep my Aunt's family, as well as Leah in your prayers. I can't even imagine what it would be like to know that you caused someones death.You can read the newspaper article about the accident here:

I wasn't surprised to hear that my Aunt had passed away (she was 86), but I never thought it would be in such a tragic way and in that I was shocked. Aunt Doris had always been my favorite aunt! I hadn't seen her in quite a few years, and I'm sorry that we hadn't gotten back there to visit while she was still alive. This brings several good lessons... 1) you never know what tomorrow brings; 2) always let people know that you love them; 3) don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today. I'm sure there are others, but this is what comes to mind.

You have our condolences. Losing a loved one is always hard. Your lessons are very good. Those are the exact reasons we stopped our trip and headed home last week.
