I've been heart broken today...

Last night, when Ray was on the way to work, he was stopped by a wreck that happened about 300 feet up from him. Traffic was blocked both ways so Ray decided to turn around and go a different direction to the hospital. When he got there one of the nurses was talking about a boy here in Star City that had been killed in the automobile accident. Al, the guy that has his cows out here, plows my garden for me and helps anyway he can, lost his son last night when Trey's tire hit the edge of the road and threw his truck into a tree. He was killed instantly. I'd know Trey's mom and dad for years, his mother much longer than I'd actually known Al, but in the past 4 years Al and his entire have become very close friends of ours. Trey was forever coming out and helping when Al couldn't be here himself, he'd come out and fish in the pond, sometimes bringing his younger brother with him. Ray and I had talked to Trey earlier this year, he was undecided on which course of study he'd like to take in college and we'd mentioned nursing to him. He'd then checked into it and switched his course of study to that field. He'd finally gotten his basics out of the way and was to begin the actual RN nursing course this coming year. Trey was one of those "good" kids which you seldom actually run into any more. He didn't smoke, drink , do drugs, attended church regularly, and was one of the most polite young men I've seen in quite a while. He called me Mr. Frank as if any one calls me Mr. Patten I look around to see where my dad is. I'd told him just to call me Frank as everyone does, but he just couldn't bring himself to be that disrespectful to someone that was older than he was, so it turned into Mr. Frank. This young man had such potential the world truly suffered a great loss with his passing.
