Ken Gemmell and his five year old daughter were out when a private jet crashed into their home in Maryland. One of the wings containing fuel crashed into their house and erupted into flames. His wife Marie, their three year old son, and their six week old baby were in the home when the plane crashed. They found Marie and her two sons in an upstairs bathroom, she was trying to protect her sons from the smoke and fire with her own body. Ken said, "No words can describe the enormity of our loss and sadness over yesterday's tragedy," he wrote. "We lost Marie, the love of my life and college sweetheart, and our two young, innocent and joyful sons -- a loss that no person should ever endure." Ken and his daughter need our prayer and support. This is a tragic unexpected event. During times like this you realize that life is so unpredictable. So many of us live our lives thinking that nothing tragic like this could happen to us. We need to live our lives to the fullest, enjoying every moment that we have been given on this Earth.

For anyone no matter the situation, it is very hard and depressing for the families. At this time, we should be praying for the hardship the family is going through during their loss. Life is such a precious thing and moments like this really make us realize how precious life is. I really liked your post! ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's absolutely horrible how something out of a person's control can completely destroy their lives unexpectedly. Hopefully their family can find strength during this time.
