Faithfully Praying for the Lirette Family
This past Sunday my best friend lost her man in a horrific traffic accident. My heart is breaking for her and her beautiful family. A God Loving family. This family is so close and so full of love that you just want to be part of it.. I met them when they moved into the house next door to my Mama. We became friends on that first meeting. This family is so giving, doing anything they can to help out their neighbors. They make you feel special. They were selling produce at a farmer's market and invited me to come along. We had such fun together in those days. That is a summer I will always remember as one of the very best.. We had some really great gardens that summer. And we talked about having an even bigger garden the next year. When Mama's tiller was broken down, Elgin brought theirs down for us to use. Then he fixed ours. That's the kind of man my friend had, a man who worried about other people and how they are getting on. Mama lives by herself , so Elgin would do things that she couldn't , like cutting up the tree that fell on her barn, and then cleaning and sorting the stuff that was in the barn. He noticed a tail light was out on her car, so he fixed that for her. Always doing what he can to help somebody who needs it.
God Bless you Elgin Joseph Lirette Jr. , you are in our hearts forever...

I go to church with Sis. Josephine and the girls. I met your mother at their house that sad Monday morning. It is hard to understand why God would allow such a terrible thing to happen to such wonderful people, but already their strength is helping and touching so many lives. I look forward to visiting your blog and becoming good friends!!

Hello My Dear Sweet Friend,
What can I say? I have no words to express the pain that is in my heart. I keep waiting to wake up from this nightmare. But, it just hasn't happened yet. Maybe tomorrow morning? I am so grateful that your mom was able to spend the day with us on Monday. It was such a comfort to have her there with us. I knew that she would know exactly what we were having to deal with. Elgin loved your mom dearly, in fact part of our conversation before he was killed, was about your mom. He was so worried about her and he wanted to make sure that she didn't spend Mother's Day by herself. He kept asking me if we had talked to her, he said to make sure that we visited with her, and that she wouldn't be alone. She had spent the day with Danny, so we didn't get to be with her. I'll talk later,
Josephine

Yeah, isn't that a hoot?! Dad was NEVER late for anything. He was always on time. Early in fact. So we found it quite funny that he was "late for his own funeral".
Prayed for you today too. ^_^
Love you,
Sarah
