As Sarah mentioned in the previous blog, some very good friends of ours were involved in a car accident this past Monday. The car accident killed the Prather's youngest son, Matthew (15), instantly. However, Jeanette spent the past couple of days trying to hang on. On Thursday evening Jeanette joined Matthew.
I have to say, Sarah and I are both overwhelmed with sadness. Jeanette and Sarah had a very special friendship and we will miss them very much. Stephen, Mike and Jeanette's oldest son, is staying with us and is being very strong. Please pray for this sweet sweet family. As Stephen gets ready to go to college, please pray for Mike as he begins to live in a much quieter household.
Sarah and I really loved Matthew and we really loved Jeanette. We are so thankful we had the honor of knowing two amazing people!
I'm a member of Jeanette's church. We are heartbroken by the deaths of Jeanette and Matthew. Memories and tributes to the both of them are pouring in from and pouring out to Facebook and other places.
ReplyDeleteThey were people who spent their lives serving others and living out their faith. They will be missed greatly.
Sarah, my heart breaks for this family. We will continue to pray.
