My wife, Cindy, needs your prayers today. She found out this morning at work that last night her friend Beverly was killed in an accident on their farm. Apparently she turned a tractor she was driving too sharply and it overturned on her. Beverly was first my wife's Avon lady, but has since become a friend and proven to be a very nice and special person. Beverly also had a married son and a grandson about six months old. Such a sad situation. My wife is taking valium this morning which tells me how hard she is taking her friend's death. I've never seen her this upset. We are in the midst of getting our house ready to sell, so we already have a lot going on. I sincerely appreciate your prayers for my wife and Beverly's husband and family.
 
It sounds like heaven is a bit fuller today. I will keep Beverly (and her & your family) in my prayers.
 
Thanks

Thanks

for the prayers and support. Has been a tough day for my wife, but she's making it through thanks to sincere prayers and...valium.
 
I've been there!

Hi Wise Smith, first of all I want you and your wife to know that I'm terribly sorry for what happened to this lady, and that I will be saying a special prayer tonight. I know exactly how it feels to get the unexpected news from someone saying that a dear friend has just died. In 1988, only three weeks after having lost my father to a killer illness called ALS, my 20 year-old friend Vania was shot dead by her ex husband and ended up passing away right in her mother's arms. I was woken up on a Sunday at 7:30am and could hardly believe my ears. Anyway, although it happened a long time ago, her death was a great blow to me, especially when I was already feeling so sad about my own dad's passing. I still think of her and whenever I hear that song by Christopher Cross called THINK OF LAURA, I can't help shedding some tears. We would often discuss death and on one occasion when I asked her who she thought would go first and that I felt afraid because of my heart issues, she just nodded her head as if to say it would probably be me. Just comes to show that noone goes before his/ her time here's up. God bless you all!

Thank you Debora for your kind words and prayer. How tragic your friend's death was. Your friend will be with you always, as you now know. That would be so hard to ever really "get over."
 
You are in my prayers. I'm sure heaven just received another angel. This is so scarry because I've almost turned our big tractor over on me several times. It's time for me to start being more careful.
 
Mine are coming your way also!!

Mine are coming your way also!!

This past year seems to have not been a very good year for alot of people, myself included. I am truly sorry about your wife's friend, Beverly, and I will be sending extra heavy doses of prayers to the man upstairs. Take Care, Harrybaby666 :D :eek: :D
 
Much thanks also to Betty, Glenda and Harry. My wife really does appreciate the thoughts and prayers. Yes, Glenda please do be careful on that thing. I'm sure many people would love to keep you around a very long time. I can tell that you have a lot of friends at vr.com. I'm thankful for the friends I'm making here. Very thankful. Thanks again.
 
You're welcome!

You're welcome!

Now you know that we're all here for one another at any time of day or night. I've had some pretty difficult problems and posting here has really minimized them a lot until most of them actually got solved in the end. I'm sure your wife will feel much better as she reads the posts which should bring her some consolation, and eventually she'll come to terms with it. Say hello to her for me and make sure you give her plenty of attention as she tries to get over her friend's death. Take care and keep in touch.

My condolences to all. This past June, a man I swam with at the pool for almost 15 years was killed in a similar type accident. The farm tractor got stuck, and he tried to get it out. It overturned on him.
His wife, a good friend of mine, managed to get him loose and drove him to the hospital. They managed to keep him on life support long enough to harvest his organs for donation.
Jeff was 49, an avid runner and swimmer, and a top notch attorney. Unfortunately life doesn't seem to recognize differences when tragic events befall us.
God Bless.
