re: Remembering Bethany And Her Family.

I just now heard this, it is horrible! Just to think it happened so fast and....insane! You cant help but cry...even though I never knew her in real life...but all there lives were cut so short...It's crazy that in such a short instance it can happen to any of us..and you never think about that...

I dont even know what to say, that is tragic...You know I know nothing that I can say can bring comfort to her husband and surviving children...but I do pray for them to make it and....well...wow...there is nothing that I can think of that can ....im just at a lose of words...

I passed by this post several times, because I couldnt think of anyone named bethany, so i thought it must be someone who was around before me.

Then when I saw the word "Raven" all her signature pictures of her belly popped into my mind. And i'm not physically ill. I read thru all the pages on the other post hoping to see her screen name pop up and say "nono, it wasnt me!" but...

Wow... I don't even know what to say.

The Griffin family is in my prayers, I can't even imagine the loss they are facing right now.  

This is such a tragedy. I am praying for the family!

I am so sorry to hear about this. I prayed that it wasn't her. God could not have chosen better angels. I am praying for her family.

This is just not fair. You will be forever missed.

always loved amd forever missed!

Your family has consumed my thoughts for the last 2 days. You all will be truly missed and never forgotten.

i cant stop thinking about you and crying.
i wish every second it didnt happen to you.
your so beautiful and i know your smiling down on us from heaven.
protect us and all of our babies.
but i know you already are doing that.

I can't sleep so I googled Bethany to see if i could find any new information...I found this:

http://66.173.217.84/lisak/NL_thismonth.pdf

It's their church's Newsletter for December. On page 4 is this...

"Congratulations to...

Danny and Bethany Griffin
on the birth of Vadie Zora
Griffin, and to proud siblings,
Brett, Haley, Beau,
Lacie, Jordan and Sydney."

Then on page 10 is this...

"Health Ministry Update—Drunk & Drugged Driving
The holiday season between
Thanksgiving and New
Year’s is one of the deadliest
and most dangerous
times of the year due to an
increase in impaired driving.
Impaired driving will affect
one in three Americans during
their lifetime. In 2004,
16,694 people died in alcohol-
related motor vehicle
crashes, accounting for 39%
of all traffic-related deaths
in the United States (NHTSA
2005). December is National
Drunk and Drugged
Driving Month (3D Month) by
Presidential Proclamation.
Quick Facts about Drunk
and Drugged Driving
† An alcohol-related motor
vehicle crash kills someone
every 31 minutes
and nonfatally injures
someone every two minutes
(NHTSA 2005).
† Drugs other than alcohol
(eg. marijuana and
cocaine) are involved in
about 18% of motor
vehicle driver deaths.
These other drugs are
generally used in combination
with alcohol.
(Jones et al. 2003).
† More than two-thirds of
child passengers ages
14 and younger who
died in alcohol-related
crashes during 1997-
2002 were riding with
the drinking driver; only
32% of them were properly
restrained at the
time of the crash (Shults
2004)
Impaired driving is no accident-
nor is it a victimless
crime. It is one of America’s
deadliest problems. Driving
a car or riding a motorcycle
while impaired or riding with
someone who is impaired is
not worth the risk. The consequences
are serious and
real. Not only do you risk
killing yourself or someone
else, but the trauma and
financial costs of a crash or
an arrest for driving while
impaired can be really significant.
Please remember to “Give
the Gift of a Lift” this holiday
season. “Friends Don’t
Let Friends Drive Drunk”.
Please look on our Health
Ministries cart for Fact and
Information Sheets regarding
this serious topic. The

This is so chilling.

any updates on the husband and the surviving kids??

I read they were in ICU, man, just to think if they don't even know what happened yet and after they are getting better find out what happened??

I am not sure if I would want to live....

and that driver is getting life, eh? ? oh I hope so! OR injected to be killed for murdering good people.

Its horrible that this happened to such a good person and such a good family. RIP Griffin family. You will never be forgotten.

I havent been on much to read what has been going on, but last night i got on and read every single post, thread and story about Bethany. I, unfortunatly didnt have the pleasure of becoming friends with her, however it still has broken my heart to hear about something so awful to happen to such a wonderful family. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

 

I just finished listening to the 911 calls, and it just made me so numb, that at that point they were still alive.

RIP bethany

Sorry things like this happen. May her and her family rest in peace. God Bless.
