GT's family was in an awful accident!
 
GT told a few people who emailed him about projects that his wife was in a awful wreck... The short of it, is him and his family need your prayers. His sister in law died, his wife has mulitple injuries, along with his daughter. Their family dog died also. I offered to help, he has always been a good friend, one of the first Luger guys I met in person.

Pretty tough going right now but we're getting patched up and starting recovery. As is usually the case, never saw this one coming? Many thanks for your kind offers, but prayers and friendship are more than enough support.... Good friends all! .... My wife's sister swerved to avoid impact and hit head on to a half ton pickup.... She passed away on site, My wife Carol has broken bones and fracture vertebrae and my granddaughter has multiple trauma and a broken left arm right below the shoulder! Police officers that rescued her said she was a super kid as she was hurt bad and her only concern was her grandma, her grandmas sister and her dog, which didn't survive as well..... We don't need anything except prayers

For Gerald, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May the healing be as fast and pain free as possible. May the hands of your doctors be guided with skill and comfort.

This is unfortunately the second major accident I'm aware of in our collecting community. Stay safe out there... There are too many texting and distracted drivers.

Norme 07-15-2016 06:29 PM

Dear Jerry,
I'm sorry to hear this sad news but am glad that your wife and daughter survived. Trauma care has come a long way in the last few years and there is every reason to hope for a full recovery.
All the best, Norm

Continuous prayers daily Gerry for recovery for you and your family members. May God comfort you in the loss of your sister-in-law and your wonderful dog. I will call the church and get your names on the prayer list there as well. You know if you need more than prayers you know where to turn. Here!

I live so far away from you and your family, but I'm very close to you and your Family with my prayers.
Come on, be strong, I'm sure that with His help you'll soon have a quick medical as well as emotional recovery.

GT, sending my hopes and prayers for a speedy recovery and full recovery! So saddened to hear of this happening to such a good guy.

K.Wilhelm 07-16-2016 08:19 AM

GT- may you feel comforted by the many prayers and good wishes from your Luger "family". [I]Bill/I]

Lugerdoc 07-16-2016 09:19 AM

Gerry, I'm not a believer of help from "on high", so if you find that you can use some crowd funding assistance, you know that you have a lot of friends here on the Forums. TH

cirelaw 07-16-2016 09:45 AM

Its nice to to know we have friends that you can turn to in times of trouble for real support! Thank You~

DavidJayUden 07-16-2016 11:46 AM

With all the dirtbags in this world, it just doesn't make sense when this happens to the good people we know and love.
So sorry to hear of the accident, and as been said many times before, I'll be thinking of you and yours and don't hesitate to ask if there is something that I, or we, can do.

Your friend and loyal customer;

I was thinking the same thing, and it made it even more difficult to hear the sad news. I'm hoping for a quick recovery. :(

You and your family are in my thoughts. Take care of yourselves and I'm so sorry to hear of your losses.

G.T. 07-26-2016 02:51 PM

We have returned! We are alive!
 
Hi to all my forum family.... Well? we're back... some worse for wear and tear, but sooooo, happy to be home.... I am moved to tears by the kindness and compassion of our forum members... You all were a great comfort in my most dire times... My daughter kept me as up to date as possible on the prayers and well wishes that are so important for morale.
As usual for this type of life test, it came literally out of no where.. My wife's sister swerved to miss another suddenly stopped vehicle, and nailed a small pick-up head on in the oncoming lane.... It was a clash of "nothing titan like" vehicles.. A PT cruiser, and a Nissan mid sized pickup.... approx. 50 mph... If not for seat belts and air bags, my family would be no more... But they have limits and extract a cost of their own? There's only so much one can stand, any one little thing different, and all would have perished in the impact!
The responding police, EMT's, firemen, and of course the doctors and nurses were exceptional!!! Immediately, as they arrived, or were tasked when it was there turn, they all made my granddaughter, their granddaughter... I start crying when I think on it.... More soon, it's been almost two weeks of none stop care and just plain old work.... I have not slept a total of 10 solid hours in the whole time.. you just can't, you are so wired to try and help... Mostly, I just tried to keep out of the way, but I now realize morale support is important as well, I didn't get to far from either as just holding hands seemed so important.... Anyway, Here we are with the new "normal" of broken bones, and damaged vertebrae, but, we Tomeks are fighters, and we will persevere! Again, my heartfelt Thanks to all... Best to all, til....lat'r.....a very humble, GT

Zorba 07-26-2016 06:04 PM

Goddess Bless and all the rest!
