OK.....here's what's going on. JT (Cathy's son) was driving from El Paso to Richmond VA to pick up his daughter from her moms. According to witnesses, he fell asleep at the wheel just outside of Abilene TX, went off the road and lost control. The officer said he went quickly and died in the crash.
Right now, we're trying to figure out how to get Cathy to Abilene. Ticket's right at $700 and payday's friday, so she'll probably fly out then. We still need to get ahold of the funeral home where his body is and make arrangements to get him cremated so she can pick up his ashes when she gets there.
Cathy's really torn up, and I'm trying to stay strong, so (for now) we're doing OK.
The calls and prayers are greatly appreciated.
