Be careful out there everyone. Freezing rain is so absolutely dangerous. Thoughts and prayers to all involved. Please be careful and give yourself more than enough time to get to and fro.

My heart aches for all the families. What a horrible, horrible tragedy. I can’t imagine what the driver/mom is going through right now and how she will live with herself regardless of what caused her to lose control of the vehicle. God’s peace and healing to all.
