My mom and I both have lost 2 very dear friends of ours this past week..

Trudy died on Saturday night after her Cather ?? came out.. A tube into her heart.. (I am still confused on what the proper name of the procedure was).

Carol died of a heart attack earlier this week.

These are both sudden losses and have really shaken up our small towns.

We also had a family of 5 get hit with a car in front of the Court House yesterday evening.. we knew this family very well.. the baby and mother escaped without injury, the father ended up with scrapes and bruises.. the 2 year old ended up completely under the car and managed to just have bruises and scrapes as well.. but, the 4 year old has a broken pelvis and a broken femur. She is going to be in the hospital for quite some time. They are still uncertain about her growth plate. She will also be moved to a larger city hospital such as Childrens in Denver, or maybe one in Utah.

This family needs your prayers due to the long distance which can't be avoided. The family is not that financially set to get a home in the new area.. so let's pray for temporary housing to which the mother and other children can reside during the time her 4 year old daughter is being medically treated.

Thankyou..

prettymama: I will say a prayer tonight for your family during this difficult time. I am sorry to read such sad news and hope your family can become strong again soon..
