Please Pray!

I don't know if this is national news, but it happened in Philidelphia and is on our local news...2 cardinals fans were in Philly for the Cardinals game and were jogging after the game and hit by a drunk driver yesterday evening. They are 2 wonderful teachers from my kids school. Their names are Sandi Wacker (who was Bradley's 4th grade teacher) and Cindy Thompson (who just retired last year but was the P.E. teacher). These teachers are near and dear to all of us and I know their families would covet your prayers at this time. They are both in critical condition and we are told that Cindy's injuries are a little more serious. This has made a big impact on our little community of Brentwood-Chris and I always say we live in our own "Mayberry" here in the big city of St. Louis. Our school only has 150 kids total (grades k-5th) and because of this we have the blessing forming close relationships with our teachers and staff. Mark Twain Elementary has won awards for being a school-of-character, our children are divided up into "families" and the head of these "families" are the teachers and staff-they meet in their families and discuss character and responsibilites in relationships. Because of these groups, and small class size, our children form such close bonds with the teachers, and these two ladies were both teachers for my children and have made an impact on thier lives. Sandi has even come to a few of bradley's baseball games. I ask that you remember these special ladies and their families in your prayers at this time. Thank You.
