My niece was killed tonight

Margies3 · #1 09-07-2007, 11:31 PM

Please remember my brother and his wife and daughter and all of the rest of my family in prayer right now. My 17 year old niece was killed in a car accident this evening.

Jamie had only had her drivers license for less than a month. My brother bought her a new truck yesterday, which she drove two times. Tonight she and a friend were headed to another friend's house to spend the night together. Jamie ran through a stop sign and was broadsided by a semi truck. She died instantly. The other girl in the truck with her is in ICU. Please also pray for her and for her family.

Thanks so much.

Who would have known that losing a niece could be so painful!!

Oh, Margie, this just made me cry. I'm so sorry for you and your family's loss. These things are hard to explain! I will pray that God will be with you to heal your hurt.

That is terrible news Margie. I will be praying for the entire family. That is a parents worst nightmare.

Thanks, Sherri. Please especially pray for my brother and his wife. I can honestly tell you now that losing a child is a pain like no other.

Also, pray for my brother's other daughter, Jenna. These two girls were raised out in the country where they really didn't have alot of playmates as kids. Jamie and Jenna did everything together and usually went everywhere together. Jenna's going to find herself lost for a long, long time. And Jamie was her only sibling

I assume Jenna is younger? I cannot imagine what this poor family is feeling. Do they have a church/pastor to lean on?

Jenna is actually older. By about 2 years. Their mom was married before and Jenna and Jamie were the product of that relationship. But then the dad walked out on them and has never looked back. He hasn't seen either of the girls since they were tiny babies. He has paid child support tho, so my brother could never legally adopt them. But Rin married Jacki (the mom) when Jamie was just under 1 year old, so he's raised these girls all their lives.

They have a church/pastor, but not a good one. Jacki's sister called the pastor tonight and let him know that this had happened. She asked him to come out to the house and he told her to call the assistant pastor and let her come because he was occupied right now. I found that pretty unbelievable!!!

I know how devastated my wife and I would be if we lost one of our children. We'll certainly be lifting this family up in prayer.

This is not the heart of a true pastor.
