a final tribute

I was wrong. We did find out the end of the story. Sadly, the man from the motorcycle accident did not make it.
A few days ago Steve, one of the men on our staff team, saw the man's family in front of our building wrapping teddy bears and balloons around a tree in his honor. This is a standard custom here. These memorial sites are seen all too often in this community when a life is lost as a final tribute to honor that loved one.
Steve spoke with the family and also found out that the police captured the driver of the car that hit the motorcyclist. Steve was also able to connect the family to some resources to help them settle his estate. You can pray with us for them as Steve continues to minister to them during this difficult time.
