DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Tailgate Forum The Funeral

Some of you may remember last week - in the game day forum I believe, I said something to the effect of "the game didn't matter much since a mother died in a car accident on Sat. evening, and her 10 yr. old daughter died Sunday. In fact, we got a phone call Sunday telling us Abigail had died.

Well, the funeral was today. The dad/husband got out of the hospital on Sat. - a week after the accident. The funeral was at a church due to the number of people that were going to attend.

Abby was 10. They kept her on life support until her siblings, from out of state, could get back here. Took less than a day. Then they pulled the plug.

Abby - the more I look at the pictures - could be my daughters sister......same age, same blond hair, same facial features.........

They had the funeral today, as Doug, the dad, got out of the hospital Sat. His 6 other kids were there with him.

One of the saddest days I've gone through. And no, I wasn't personally at the funeral - they had it on the net due to the number of people that expected...........

I'm a cryer....crier.......however you spell it. I'm a sensitive, caring person, no matter how I come across on here. But at the funeral, when they sang "Amazing Grace".........well, I cried throughout the whole thing, but that song really did me in.

For those that didn't see my post last week - mom and dad and Abby were on their way shopping. An 80 yr. old ran a stop sign. Hit them. Jen was dead at the scene, Doug was hurt, and Abby was taken in to the hospital in critical condition. Like I said - they kept her "alive" until her siblings could get there.

I guess all I can say is Jen and Abby got to meet God together.

Doug is my cousin- Jen was my cousin. Abby..............I have a daughter the same age. My nephew was in her class....

Keep that family in your thoughts........please. They need it.

I've read your post on the matter Arch and my prayers go out not only to their family, but to you as well.

Truly a sad day Arch.. My prayers go out to that family......

Very sad Arch.

Thanks guys.

I probably shouldn't have even posted about this - but yesterday was a really tough day.........I can't imagine how it was for the family......

How sad for all involved.. Prayers go out the family !

From my perspective, it's perfectly ok to post this..

My prayer's go out to all involved, God will be with you all in this time.
I will say a prayer for you and the family.

This is such a sad story.

I especially feel for the father/husband who has to wonder why he lived when his wife and daughter did not.

My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family, and to all involved.

So sad Arch. My heart goes out to the family and friends. Sorry man.

Sorry for your loss and for the entire family, my heart goes out to each of you and you'll all be in my prayers.
