Re: Seat belts DO save lives

[Guest guest]

Oh Jodi!!

My heart was in my throat reading this! Thank God that Micheal

and Max are OK and were wearing their seat belts. Yikes, what a

scare.

Glad that your family is whole and hoping for a quick recovery for

your men.

Jodi,

Thank God they are OK! I can't imagine what you felt like when you

got the call about the accident. Hopefully, this will be the

absolutely worst thing that will happen to you all this year and

things get better! You are all such strong and wonderful people.

Best wishes,

Jodi,

I'll add my thanks that both are ok! You are right to stick to your

guns about the seat belts.

Happy car shopping!

Hi Jodi,

Sorry to hear about the accident. I am glad to hear that both are OK.

I hope they find the guy that cut off and hang him by

his ... well never mind.

I hope everyone recovers quickly and completely.

Oh my God Jodi!!!

I am so glad that they are alright!!! Tell them I hope they feel

better soon and give them a big hug from me!!! I know what you mean

about the saet belts, my mom and I were in an accident on christmas

eve, we were nailed from behind by some jerk in a hurry leaving the

mall (he also had his dog in the front seat with him). my mom hit

her head on the door frame and still has a bruise, my back and neck

bothered me for a few days!!! but we had our belts on or it could

have been worse. he hit us so hard that his lic. plate number could

be perfectly read on my moms bumper!!!
