clbrat I'm so sorry for your fathers loss. That should not of been posted. In 1994 my dad died in a car wreck on a Sunday and I had a feeling at church something was wrong, and before we got home my sister was sitting at home watching TV when he flashed on TV about his death and a picture of his vehicle as their were pulling it of the ditch he had over corrected cross the center lane landed up side down were he landed in a ditch of water therefore drowning him. She saw it before she could be told. Its so sad. My heart goes out to you and your family. Share#88
