A family from my church in Saskatoon is living their worst nightmare. They were in a car accident a couple of weeks ago; their 16 year old daughter Katie was killed in the accident and their 14 year old son is in critical condition.
"Scot, Carolyn and their two kids, Katie and Brent were on their way for a fun family weekend. Around 3:30 p.m on Friday, February 27, 2009 there was a tragic accident just south of Lumsden near Regina. The parents Scot and Carolyn were taken to hospital with serious injuries. Brent, 14, was hospitalized with critical injuries. With immense grief we found out that Katie, 16, died at the scene of the accident.
Katie was a sweet girl who was kind to everyone she knew. Katie loved her friends and loved to have fun. She was very involved in her home church, Elim Tabernacle, looking after children. She loved being around kids, especially little babies and toddlers. We will miss Katie greatly."
That's an excerpt from the blog that our youth pastor has set up to keep everyone updated.
I didn't know the family well. But I feel connected to them as a part of my church family and I can't even imagine how hard this is. My heart breaks for them. Brent was doing really well for a few days...he was wiggling his toes and smiling. He still can't talk but he was blinking in response to questions. Last night he took a turn for the worse. He developed an infection around his aorta and abdomen...he's in critical condition.
I just can't imagine...they just lost their daughter and they're on constant watch for their son's life.
If you believe in the power of prayer, please pray.
