I was in that accident and severely injured and will have a long road to recovery. My friend Amanda (we were on our way to a doctors appointment) has both feet shattered and a much longer road to recovery. I won’t even mention the Financial losses we will both have. Prayers are requested for both of us and the family of Aaron Allen.
