Should you not know....

As much as I don't want to do this post....

My niece McKenzie, and our 2 grand girls Laurynn and Macie were in a head on collision last Monday night in Rexburg, Idaho. 

McKenzie, very sadly, didn't make it. 

How do families even endure this without the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Laurynn and Macie were taken to two separate hospitals. Macie was released in the middle of that first night. A kind trooper took her to the hospital Laurynn was in, so she could be with her.

Macie was driving although it was clearly not her fault. 

Amy and Logan and the twins were in their car an hour after finding out and drove the 16 hours not knowing what to expect. They were just told McKenzie was trapped in the car (at that point) and Laurynn was lying on the side of the road, mumbling. We found out later a passerby was able to get Laurynn out of the car while waiting for the ambulances to arrive. 

Amy has not hardly left Laurynn's bedside since they arrived in Rexburg the following morning. She has several broken bones and head injuries, and two surgeries so far. We are hopeful and prayful for a good recovery, although it's going to take lots of time. 

McKenzie, or "Mackie" as Macie and Laurynn call her.

So hard to believe McKenzie has already graduated from this life.
21 years old

 Hang in there Laurynn. 

SO many are praying for you!

Macie we are so proud of you!

McKenzie and Macie

McKenzie and Laurynn

We don't know the details of McKenzie's service yet. 

We continue to pray for the Shepard family and all they are enduring now. 

We are so very sad for them. 

We continue to pray for Laurynn's recovery, and for Macie too, 

and all she is going through.
