The number in the post I made was not the bank phone number.
I can get it. If anyone did donate, Id like to deliver it somehow, and put a note on it saying from FTE members, or whatknot.
Its up to you guys... I will help them out either way

I am sorry to hear this Andy. Many years ago, a guy was killed next to his car in a parking lot in my town.

I saw the story on the news and saw pictures of the spot he was standing when it happened.
When a teenager is taken in this manner I have to wonder why. They say God works in misterious ways, but why a teenager?
I am sorry to hear of this tragic loss.

Andy sorry about the loss man. I think my sister may have helped with your friend. She is a RN at Conway. She works ICU but if they try to resuscitate someone in the ER she helps out sometimes. If you need anything at all I think it is know now that we are here for ya.

My sympathy for the family, and to you, Andy.

This post has made me think of all the times I've seen the sky darken when I was out on my tractor and thought, 'Well, the storm's a way's off... I have plenty of time to finish up here.' Hearing that lightning can strike when the storm's 20 miles away... well, now I'm thinking that there's plenty of time to finish up when the skies clear.

Again, my condolences.

i'm sorry to hear about the loss to your community,

when i read or hear about something like this, i't doubly scary for me.
i've been indirectly struck twice.
if you've ever been near when somebody gets hit, no matter how, it is truly
a scary situation.
when i got hit the second time it knocked me across my basement about 10 or 15 feet, and paralyzed me for about 5 minutes, (i was playing guitar, the storm was 25 miles away)
the other time i was knocked out of a chair and knocked out period, i dunno how long, i was home alone when it happened, and the power went out, just glad the house didnt burn...
man oh man, again, i'm sorry to hear that your brothers friend had that happen...
