Please pray for my family

Saturday night, my cousin, Jim, lost his wife, Yvonne. They were all at the camp and Yvonne decided she wanted to go home instead of spending the night. She was supposed to call Jim and let him know when she made it home. He never heard from her so he tried calling her and got no answer. He was at the camp with his brother, Jr. and his wife and their son, Brian. When they couldn't reach Yvonne by phone, they all hopped in the car and went looking for her. They didn't have to go far and they found her Jeep crashed into a tree, after having flipped at least once. The paramedics were able to resuscitate her on the scene but she died shortly after getting her to the hospital. Jim and Yvonne lost their youngest daughter, Sadie, a couple of years ago the same way. She was 22.

Jim is the son of my godmother (we call them Nanny), who is also my daddy's sister. She is 81 years old and didn't handle Sadie's death well. This is not going to be easy for her or anyone either. Everyone loved Yvonne.

Please pray for them during this extremely difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Jim and his family! I hope that he has a support system in place for this horrible time of grieving.
