 Their 2 daughters were coming home from town this afternoon, and a man suspected to be drunk, ran a stop sign at an estimated speed of 80 , Lucinda (18) was driving, she was killed instantly, Victoria (15) is on life support, she was medi-vaced to a large trauma center about an hour and a half away. This family lost their only son 5 yrs ago in Iraq, and now their 2 remaining children, 1 is dead and the other is fighting for her life. this are a family that everyone dreams of having for neighbors, they would give you the shirts off their backs, and now this. The man who caused this got a broken wrist, and a couple of bruises, this is just so unfair.

I am so sorry to hear about this tragedy! How much loss can one family possibly endure? Please let us know if there's anything else (besides prayer and positive thoughts) that we can do.

So sorry to hear this. I am a massage therapist and I work on a neighbor girl who was in just this sort of wreck 2 years ago. She has survived but is brain damaged. There is much going on in that field now so she has been improving. But I have followed her story since the accident and I know how devestating it is. The families life changed forever. I would like to say that the drunk womans life changed too but I am not at all sure that it has.
I will say that the family I know says that prayers were felt from the beginning. I will pray for your neighbor family too.

My heart breaks for this family. Having lost a child I know the horrendous grief and pain you go through. But, for this family to loose possibly all their children, I can barely breath feeling the pain they must have. Maybe there will be a miracle and their daughter will survive. I pray for this with all my heart.

The news this morn is not good, Victoria is not waking up, and the Doctors don't think she will. She is in a deep coma, and her brain waves are very slight. I don't know how Maria and Marcello are going to get thru this. I can't even imangine losing 1 child, let alone all of them. We are NEVER supposed to out live our children. Thanks girls for all your prayers and kind thoughts.

This is so awful that Maria and Marcello have to go through this terrible and senseless tragedy. I'm so terribly sad for these young ladies. To lose one's life as it is just starting to bloom. I will keep all of them wrapped in love and hope for Victoria to make a turn around.
Let us know if there is anything that we can do. Why, why, why do people drive drunk?

Annika, I have never understood why people drink til they are drunk to begin with, then get in a vehical and drive. The girls were in a small Honda car, and the drunk was in a 1 ton dually. This man was charged with vehicular manslaughter and probally only do 5 years in prison. I think anyone who drives drunk should be charged with attempted murder, and if they do kill someone, it should be "MURDER".

Amen! Me too Teresa. If you kill someone it should be murder unless in self defence or defence of another!

Horrible news, I just got home from driving Marcello and Maria down to the hospital, Victoria was taken off life support this afternoon. The nurse called this morn and asked me to come in, and they asked me to drive them home, I almost could not drive, my heart felt like it has been wrenched out. I met this family when they first moved here and bought their farm. I was there to greet each child coming home from the hospital when they were born. This family was there for anyone and everyone who ever needed help of anykind , including me when my hubby was first diagnoced with cancer, all the way to the end when he passed. They are family, I was there when their sond body came home, thru his burial, and I will be there for them , as they bury their two presious daughters. Thank you for all your prayers, and please continue for Maria and Marcello, cause they will need them...

What a horrible thing to go through. Teressa please know that the family is in my prayers and thoughts through this unbearable time. I can't even begin to know what the anger and pain must be like. At least we know they are all together in a place where there is no more pain.

How awful, Teresa. I just read this thread for the first time, today, though it appears that even good thoughts and prayers couldn't keep their poor girl here on this earth. Bless this family at this time and always. Such an unbearable thing to happen.

The funeral is going to be Saturday, just Maria,Marcello and my son, his wife, my daughter and her fiance, and I. Marcello's family is all in Spain, and Maria has none. We are going to have friends and neighbors over to my home afterwards. I want to thank all of you that sent prayers and kind thoughts, believe me they were felt. I will convay all your posts when the time is right.
