The funeral plans are for Sunday.  He is doing well and his buddies are sticking close to him.  He is no longer assigned to the Reagan.  He has been given a new assignment that will allow him to stay close to home for a while.  Thank you for your continued support through prayers and thoughts.

So very sorry to hear of this family's loss.  Definitely agree is a horrible tragedy.  May God bless and comfort this sailor and his family.

The Reynolds Family.

PITTSBURG, TX (KLTV) - Arizona DPS confirms that four people, including three East Texans, have died in a head-on collision with a tractor-trailer on Interstate 10 northwest of Tucson.

DPS say the tractor-trailer lost control, crossing through the median, entering the lanes of oncoming traffic, striking two vehicles head-on.

Derrick Bryan Reynolds, 46, Wendy A. Reynolds, 42, and Joachim S. Reynolds, 20, all of Pittsburg were pronounced dead on the scene.

The driver of the second vehicle struck, Rickey Duffey, 61 of Fayetteville, Georgia, was also pronounced dead on the scene.

My prayers join yours as we wrap our arms around Sean in his horrible life changing moment.  May we be able to minister to him in the days and months to come.

Received a word from NavyDadJim this morning... Horrible news:  A sailor on the USS Ronald Reagan received word yesterday, on Homecoming morning, that his family had been killed in a severe car accident.  He lost both parents and two brothers (his entire family).  I've learned from the Reagan Moms that he's from Pittsburg, Texas.

No arrangements have been released yet, but will pass them along as I know them.  I know that you will keep this young man and his extended family in your thoughts and prayers... Kaye
