Need your prayers please

[newsboysgrl777]

Hi all...I don't post much but I wanted to post and ask you all for your prayers. My brother-in-law, Billy, was killed in a truck/train collision on Saturday afternoon along with 2 of his friends. The family is devestated, as are all of his friends. We lost a very sweet young man who was just beginning to live his live. We're all still in shock and are trying to deal with understanding exactly what happened, making funeral arrangements, etc., as well as trying to cope with our grief and sorrow. I'm asking for your prayers to give us strength and God's peace.

I also want to post a link to a news station that has taken the time to air what had truly happened. If you click on the 'video' link, my husband also speaks about his brother. Thank you all so much for your prayers and support. I know God can work through even perfect strangers...and we need all of the support we can get at this trying time. This is the hardest thing I, personally, have ever had to go through...and it is only worse for my husband, his sister, his grandmother, and his parents. Those that loved Billy deeply and have so many memories with him. He will truly be missed by so many.

Love,
Rachel

I want to add my deepest regrets and sincere sorrow at this unfortunate loss of life your family is experiencing. I hesitate to add this next part but knowing what I know I have to. Please understand that I say this with love and also want to add that this did not have to happen.

Years ago I also lost a young family member due to a similar event, again it didn''t have to happen. Please please please remind those you love that the gates are down for a reason no matter what it appears like. I can say this because my husband and his family have been involved, owned and operated short line railroads for years. There are many areas where there are no gates, use EXTREME care when crossing, LISTEN for the HORNS, LOOK for the LIGHTS and MOST importantly if the GATE IS DOWN then there is a train somewhere nearby.

Again I am so sorry that your family has experienced this sad, unhappy, loss of family.
