Tiapam has been a Freeper since December, 2009; Cardhu has been a Freeper since July, 2005. Please remember them in your prayers.
I talked to Yorkie tonight; she is in ICU with serious non-lifethreating injuries.
She has many broken and crushed bones on her right side. She will need lots of therapy and lots of prayers.
Please say a prayer for Tiapam's and Cardhu's families and friends.
Yorkie is in urgent need of prayers for both physical and emotional healing. She and Tiapam have been friends for 27 years.
Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center

I got her name from the link to the article posted earlier but don't feel comfortable putting her real name in public.
Thanks for the address...
It is a very sad day for many of us. So many FReepers are being taken home. Prayers for all the families and friends!
Oh no! What horrible news.
Please relay to Yorkie that I am thinking of her and I pray she heals as fast as possible.
There are no words to express my sadness at the loss of Tiapam and Cardhu. I can’t believe it.
((HUGS)) To you too LJ.
This is hard....
Do you think it is to soon to send Yorkie flowers?
I want to do something for her but I don’t know what!
It is hard. It’s devastating; It knocks the wind out of you and makes your heart heavy.
Prayers for my dear friend Yorkie, & for Tiapam and Cardhu.
They are moving her out of ICU and into the Transitional facility this afternoon.She will be spending about 4 hours a day in PT. I think she would appreciate flowers or a card.
She really appreciates all the prayers. She said they are working.
FRiends, thank you for the clues as to where to send Yorkie a card. It would be nice if she got a hundred cards from Freepers.
What a devastating loss.
Poor Yorkie, losing friends like that.
So sad.....
Thank you BG! This past year has not been a good one for me. I was hoping for a better ‘new year’ but another family member had emergency surgery this past Tuesday night. All’s well so far.
I didn’t know cardhu but was friends with tiapam and yorkie. This was horrific news and I pray for yorkie’s recovery.
To you too my friend!
Horrific loss for FR. I am praying especially for Yorkie’s recovery.
You are always included in all my pings teenie, but sometimes my mind wanders away from it’self.....
It’s a very sad day for me.
I just talked to Don at the front desk at Sunrise Memorial Hospital.
Yorkie has been removed from ICU and is now in C412, she is allowed flowers for those who want to send them.
Thank you for the info, Randy.
This is to my regular ping list and all FRiends who are posting and praying here for dear Yorkie.
I talked to her today for a good long while and she is doing as good as could be expected. She broke down a few times and kept wondering why she was not dead. I told her that God had left her here for a Big Reason and she will find out as she gets better. I told her that hundreds and hundreds of FReepers and FRiends were praying for her. She wanted me to read the title and the top part of this thread and I did. She did say she would be glad when she could get back online and I thought that was a healthy thought and it made me feel a little better.
Her son and daughter have both been there and were leaving when I called and I tried to hang up and call her back when they were finished saying goodbye but she wouldn’t let me. Tomorrow night is the big party for her granddaughter.
They will be moving her to rehabilitation this afternoon and she told me the hospital said she would be there at least 2 weeks. They got her up for a few steps this afternoon also.
She said the police had recovered all of her personal belongings such as her purse, cosmetics, jewelry, and her cell phone. She said she was charging her cell phone at that time. Yorkie said the whole top was torn off the van and they were not pulling a trailer and doesn’t know where that came from. Yorkie was in the passenger front seat, Tiapam was driving and Cardhu was in the back seat. She and tiapam had on seatbelts and Cardhu didn’t and was thrown from the van and died instantly. The top of the van crushed tiapam and killed her. Yorkie said it also hit her head and she has staples and stitches all over her head and body. She has a lot of injuries but they are not life-threatening, Praise the Lord!
I felt a little better after talking to her and she realizes she has a long road to travel and a lot to overcome with the death of her good friends. It is so very sad.
There’s many things I can’t recall at the moment but I thought you all would love to have this update. We will all keep praying for her overcoming her physical and mental pain she will be enduring. God Bless Her. And may Tiapam and Cardhu Rest in Peace.
Thank You for you info.
She has flowers on the way.
Wonderful, Randy.
Thank you for the update Jaycee. I had to catch up so I have been reading this thread and Amy’s P&P... Amy, Thank you for the thread, I know it was hard for you. Thank God you could talk to cuzzin Mama Bear.
What a tragic accident and the loss of life heartbreaking. All of you, Yorkie and all family involved will remain in our thoughts and Prayers. I even went thru some of my old FR mail and reread messages from them.
To be absent from the body is to be in the presence of the Lord. God Bless my FRiends.
