Such a tragedy, my prayers are with the young brothers and there family,
Nicholas is a wonderful person, stepfather and friend and we are so blessed that he is doing well.
I worked with the two young men that were in this accident. Javier and his brother were very caring and genuine people. Unfortunately his brother didn’t make it, but Javier will be in our thoughts and hope to see him heal and come back to work.
Those country roads can be so scary during day light hours and much more dangerous at night time! Accidents do happen but never take for granted you are the only one on the road at night. Prayers to all involved and their families!
Nickolas, just lost his mother to cancer. Now this. Prayers.
so sorry for this happening. Prayers for all involved and their families.
