Sad News

We received some bad news yesterday. My friend from high school, LaDean, and her family were in a car accident earlier this week and her husband, Jay, died. They were near Ely, Nevada when Jay swerved to miss hitting an elk, their car rolled and tragically Jay didn't survive. They have four children ranging in ages 11 - 4. They were all in the car and had very minor injuries. LaDean had some minor injuries - cuts on her face. They were all wearing seatbelts.

It is just heartbreaking to think and imagne what happened. Jay was such a good person. He really was someone you couldn't say anything bad about. He was a devoted father and husband. I remember talking with LaDean in high school and after about the type of man she wanted to marry - she knew exactly what she wanted. She wanted someone that was of her same faith, (Mormon), smart, caring, same family values, handsome (of course!) and someone that was taller than her - no easy feat as LaDean is probably 6ft. tall! I think that she had found everything in Jay and more. My heart just aches for her during this unfair twist of life.

Wow. Aim, I am so sorry to hear about Jay. I can't imagine what LaDean and her family are going through.
