Sharing my grief this past evening. Stuck on ridge and then....

Still in shock here Brad. Just know that the entire Tnet community is feeling your loss as our own. As a number of people had said in their responses, you will be together with them again in the presence of Our Lord. If there is anything I can do, or any of us here can do, please let us know by PM. I pray that ice melts and clears your path to be with family or friends. Alone in isolation is not where you need to be. But at least you have us to care about you.

the feeling of helplessness can not be explained, especially in times such as this. it makes me feel guilty that the ice around us has begun melting and knowing that you are in your situation, I too pray for the peace that passes all understanding for you and your family as well as healing. We are not promised our next breath even though we tend to live like we are, I have learned to make sure my loved ones always know that I love them.

 

[Meadow]

Oh my God, I'm so very sorry. I have tears in my eyes, but will tell those I love that I love them.

But please know that your daughter and grandson knew you loved them even though you hadn't told them recently.

My 33 year old son lives with us. We went down to my car to check out the situation again. Then he suddenly says... "Dad, why don't you call the Highway Dept. and see if they'll come grade the road". So I call and explain and then ask for help. They told me I was late calling... they'll get right on it!!!!! Some of those prayers are working!!!!

I just had a call from the Nashville newspaper call the TENNESSEAN. I was very surprised. They were very nice and asked if I'd help them for a feature article about my daughter Kristi and grandson Carter. I asked why they're doing this? They said because "Anyone who would stop and help 5 folks out of a horrible crash and then parish themselves together need to be recognized". Wife, son, daughter and I all helped. I can't thank you folks enough.... it's like a dream to me.

words don't convey what I'd like to be able to say. God Bless you and keep you.

 

[SusanMN]

How awful for you and your family. I am so sorry.

 

[Sluice Willis]

Lord, at the moment nothing seems to be able to help the loss I feel.
My heart is broken and my spirit mourns.
All I know is that Your grace is sufficient.
This day, this hour
Moment by moment
I choose to lean on You,
For when I am at my weakest Your strength is strongest.
I pour out my grief to You
And praise You that on one glorious day
When all suffering is extinguished and love has conquered
We shall walk together again.

 

[DigIron2]

Very sorry to hear this Brad.I can't even imagine man.

 

[RGINN]

My Lord, my Lord. I am so sorry to hear that. The articles I read said they were heroes. I don't know what to tell you that would make it better, but anything I could do let me know. I think I'll call up that boy of mine up in Cheyenne this evenin as I haven't talked with him in a while, and I need to give my Dad a call, just to check in.

 

[The Rebel]

I am so very sorry for your loss Brad.

 

[releventchair]

Sorry bud.
A prayer sent asking for help in dealing with it.
I ask little and try to thank instead but it is merited today that strength be granted.
Will be thinking of you and your family.

 

[Escape]

Even though I don't know you, your loss has effected me as if you were my best friend or neighbor. My prayers go out to you with my sincere condolences for this unfortunate and tragic loss of those you hold dear.

 

[Gold Maven]

Such a horrible tragedy. I am so sorry for your loss.

I wish I was closer to you, I would get your car off that ice.

 

[CincinnatiKid]

So sorry. I can't even imagine.

Dear Heavenly Father, please bless my Dear friend Brad, his wife Bonnie and their entire family during this tragic time and ordeal! Please give them the strength and will to get through this. They are great and wonderful people that has invited me into their' home, to eat their' food, sleep in one of their' beds, go on adventures with Brad and to sit around and have great talks. They are such giving persons and would give anyone the shirts off their' backs. I ask and say these things in the name of Thy Son Jesus Christ!

Amen


I just got off of the phone with Brad a little while ago and he is besides himself with the loss of his daughter Kristi and grandson Carter! He knows that if there is anything I can do for him and Bonnie and the rest of the family, all he has to do is ask and I expressed this. My' heart is totally broken over this news and aches for them during this sad and tragic time! However, I know in my' heart that Heavenly Father and Jesus took them both swiftly into Heaven for what they did to help the people in the SUV and their sacrifice! They along with many others that have sacrificed their' lives to save others, hold a special place with Heavenly Father and Jesus and in Heaven. I ask all the TNnetters to keep my Dear friend Brad, his wife Bonnie and their family in your prayers!

Identities Released Of Mother, Son Killed By Semi In Franklin

CREATED Feb 16, 2015 - UPDATED: Feb 17, 2015 | 12:56 PM


FRANKLIN, Tenn. – Officials have released the identities of a mother and her young son who were tragically killed by a semi while stopping to help others who were involved in a crash late Monday night.

Those killed were 34-year-old Kristi Clark and her 10-year-old son, Carter Oakley.

Officials with the Franklin Police Department said officers were called to the crash just before 9:20 p.m. at mile marker 64 near the Murfreesboro Road exit on Interstate 65 South in Franklin.

Investigators said an SUV had rolled over after hitting a patch of black ice. A mother and her young son who saw what had happened stopped to help.

Police said they were both outside of the vehicle when they were struck by the semi. Carter died at the scene. His mother, Kristi, later died at Williamson Medical Center.

Five people were in the SUV that rolled over after hitting a patch of ice. Two passengers from that SUV were critically injured, while the other three were not hurt. They remained in serious condition Tuesday afternoon.

“Kristi and her son, Carter, are heroes,” said Franklin Police Chief Deborah Faulkner. “These Good Samaritans put themselves in harm’s way to help a stranger. The goodness in their hearts that prompted them to do that will never be forgotten.”

The interstate was closed until 6:45 a.m. Tuesday as crews worked to process the scene. Police officers remained on the scene to direct traffic around the icy spot.

Monday night, a State of Emergency was declared in Tennessee. All residents have been urged to stay off the roadways.
