Update On Family Tragedy

Today I learned that Helen Williams, who was involved in the car wreck on Alcoa Hwy, also had sustained a broken collarbone, broken ribs, and the broken leg was broken in two places. The doctor said she would never walk again. Her sister, Mrs. McKinney, got a pass to leave the hospital to go see her. Along with her other two sisters, the decision was made to remove life support. Helen died within 5 minutes. She will be missed by many. She always sat in church when I had my grandchildren and smiled at them the whole time. They will be receiving friends on Tuesday and then her body will be taken to Iowa on Wednesday for burial beside her husband. Mrs. McKinney has to have some pretty extensive abdominal surgery and won't be able to attend the funeral. We will all be praying for her. The upside to this is that Helen is in a better place and can walk, doesn't have to have dialysis anymore, and is in perfect health. That wreck has now claimed the lives of two people. Even though the streets were wet and the other lady's car hydroplaned, we should all be aware of how dangerous wet streets can be. Everyone should be extra cautious when it's raining, and slow down. Me included. When God gets ready to take us, he will. But no use in making things rough for ourselves while we're here. Helen, I know you're in Heaven with our Lord and Saviour. We will all miss you and we will always love you.
