Ben

Thank you to everyone who is praying for my family after my cousin was killed in a car accident last night. Prayers are still needed as we work through the grief, especially for my Aunt Robin and Uncle Kevin as they deal with the loss of a child.

At about 8pm last night, my cousin Ben Morse (23 yrs old) was driving with his sister Bethany (13 yrs old) in Nampa, Idaho. A driver in a pickup truck ran a stop sign and collided with Ben's Kia, hitting it directly on the driver's side, flipping it multiple times. Ben, Bethany, and the other driver were all transported to the hospital. Ben was not able to survive his injuries and passed away at the hospital. Bethany is bruised and has a cracked sternum, and is struggling emotionally very much now that they've told her that Ben didn't make it. As far as I know, they will be releasing her from the hospital today.

I am hoping to make it over to Idaho for the service, but things are complicated with John's work and the boys' school schedules.

Thank you all again for the prayers and to those of you who have offered assistance in various ways. It is all greatly appreciated.
