I'll try and make this short. This is yet another reminder to tell those that you love how much they mean to you!
A young woman whom my family has known since @ 4th grade got married on Sunday, July 2, 2007. On Monday, July 3, her husband was hit while packing wedding gifts into his car. After several hours of surgery, he died.
They had been together for a few years, and have a 2-year old daughter between them. These families literally went from a day of wonderful joy, to a day of unbelievable horror in 24 hours. To make it even more tragic, the groom's little brother had a birthday the next day. So when people called to wish him a happy birthday, he had to say "Thanks, but let me tell you what has happened. My brother got killed yesterday."
You can go to
The Coloradoan - www.coloradoan.com - Ft. Collins, CO., or
www.freerepublic for stories about this.
Anyway, my point besides being..."Tell your loved ones how much you love them often"... is also, there's a fund set up for the daughter that lost her dad: Maia Leigh Miller (Her dad was Lee Miller)
c/o Allnot Funeral Services
650 W. Drake Rd.
Ft. Collins, CO. 80526
Once again I ask of those on this forum...if it's in your heart, please give something. If you can't give any cash, then please send some kind and caring thoughts to this family, specifically Katy Miller and Maia Miller....
Once again...There but for the grace of God go I.... This could have been any of us.
