I've been following Julee's blog for years and she is one of the sweetest people. She is definitely one of those people I feel like I "know" although I have actually never met her. We've shared emails as we both journeyed though some battles to become parents during the same time period. I was extremely overjoyed when Julee became pregnant with Preslee. Sweet Preslee is now 10 months old.....
Last night, Julee's husband, Matt, was killed in a car wreck. He is also someone I feel like I "knew" after reading Julie's blog and watching him on TV for the five years I lived in Northwest Arkansas. He was a wonderful man.
My heart is aching for Julee and Preslee. I've not been able to keep myself together today because I feel so much pain for them.
I know they are feeling our prayers and God is holding them, but please continue to pray.
There are several videos and articles going up online about Matt. This is on the site for the station Matt recently started working for.

ReplyDeleteI'm so sad for them. :( They've been on my mind since yesterday too. It's heartbreaking.
ReplyDeleteI kind of lost it when I read about Matt, too. I'd met him when I worked at Celebrate, because they had their satellite office right across the hall. I felt like I "knew" him too, just from watching him and seeing him at different functions around town. I didn't know about Julee's blog, but omg my heart is aching for them... SO SO sad!
