Default Bad day @ Flood Run

We all lost a awesome and great friend today. Here in Minnesota we have an annual Flood Run, A good friend lost her life today and her husband is in critical condition with a brain injury. They were enjoying the ride and at about noon someone pulled out in front of them and ended a life and drastically changed another. Please pray for Bill who lost his wife Laurie. God Bless You Bill!!

It happened about 4 or 5 miles south of Prescott, Wisc. There is a sweeping right turn if you are heading south and another road "T's" into it. The other person pulled out and from what the other people on the scene say they had no time to react.

Prayer's sent, we were in Maiden Rock at noon and heard sirens, right away I thought, hope no one got hurt. Hate to here those sirens at these events. Any time you here them, you know it can't be good.
