My youngest daughter just got married this past June of 2004. My son in law Jeremy is like a son to me. His brother, Jacob 19 has a beautiful girlfriend named Amber also 19.

I received new this morning that Amber was in a car wreck last night and was killed instantly. She was driving back to her college dorm with her best friend, Elena also 19, when the tire blew out and they hit a tree head on. Both were killed instantly. It will be a closed casket as she was unrecognizable.

As if that wasn't horrible enough, Jacob had just proposed to Amber and they had set a date. The rest of the family did not know yet. They were planning to tell them this weekend.

I had met Amber when my daughter Erin got marred in June. Amber went to the bachlorette party with us and she was a sweet and beautiful girl. The whole town of Lake Wales, FLorida is devastated. Both girls were very well known. I am heartsick for both families of the girls and for Jacob as well. He is in shock and destroyed.

Keep them in your prayers.

Life is so short sometimes. Isn't it?

OMG Penni I am so sorry this happened and to two people so young and full of life! I will remember all who loved those girls in my thoughts and prayers!

This is a definate example of how precious life is and we should live each day like it is our last!!!! May God be with you all in this awful time of sorrow!!!

Oh my Lord how sad! That is absolutely devastating! I will surely say a prayer for both girl's families and all who loved them.
