Jenn, you immediately became part of the family. Pat and I thank you for the joy that you gave to our son, Michael, and to his son, Joshua.
Courtney, I know it was rough becoming part of a new family. I thought that there would be time to gently bond and share the love of two families melding into one. I never expected your future and life to be ripped away and so soon.
Sophia, even though you were not ready for the world, your father at least got to see you as a person and say good-bye though we were never even able to celebrate a hello.
Zack, we hope that Joshua and you continue to be close step-brothers. You ARE family and family is there to help each other through difficult times. Things will get better though nobody will ever forget.

Friday, Jenn was bringing the kids home from school when a person who had their driver's license revoked and was under the influence of some substance, slammed into the back of Jenn's car, killing the three of them, injuring Zack and critically injuring a fellow classmate whom due to privacy laws, we don't know. I'm sure that the child and their parents are suffering the horror of a child being injured.
The driver who caused all of this must have been suffering his own demons. I'm sure he has a family who is suffering too. I was once told that we don't live in a vacuum. What we do affects many. Never has that been so apparent as it has the last few days.
