CNN:
Chester Mills was supposed to bury his wife in Indiana earlier this week.
But while two of his children were driving from Georgia to attend their stepmother’s funeral, their car spun out on a snowy highway and was broadsided by an oncoming tractor-trailer. The crash killed them and a friend who was driving the car.
Now Mills is left dealing with more impossible loss.

Posted on January 23, 2011 at 11:20amWhen my dad died, my grandma told me the same, “It’s not right that a child should die before the parent”. But it does happen. Prayers are with this man and all others involved. And the friend that was driving the car died in the service of trying to help others.

Posted on January 23, 2011 at 12:59pmAgreed. After any tragedy, it’s easy to lose sight of that simple truth. But He’s always there, and will always be there, to help us weather any storm thrown at us. God, grant this man some comfort and support as he deals with this painful time in his life.

Not sure if you know but you can add your link to Guerilla to your name ironman. Go to your profile page and add it to the web page line. Not trying to get into your business but not sure if you know, clink on my name and you will see how it works.
I too pray for this family. We pray that the Lord will give them strength to face what is before them.

Posted on January 23, 2011 at 10:04amAmen, it reminds us all of how sudden life ends, how precious it truly is, how much we often take it for granted, and how it unites us in one common cause to comfort and help the survivors of such great losses.

Posted on January 23, 2011 at 7:30amPrayers going out to him and his surviving family. The grief of just losing them combined with what I can only call “survivors guilt” is very heavy indeed. There must be some mega happiness/goodness coming his way to balance this and reinforce his faith.
