chances to say goodbye

It's with sadness I post at this time. My friend was killed in a car accident yesterday. She was a passenger in a family auto, her husband driving. Her husband, Jens, is a dear friend of mine from when we were 16 in Provo. I re-connected with him when we moved to Nampa. I was sitting at a picnic table at a Ward Picnic, visiting with Kris Jensen. As we got acquainted , it became clear that her husband was the Jens that I used to know. Kris was thy sweetest, kindest person on earth. She was so good for Jens. He adored her and they were truly soul-mates. They had the kind of marriage that most of us just hope for. My heart goes out to Jens, as he is in ICU, so is their son Elijah. Noah is in fair condition.
In January, Jens and I had a conversation about me losing John. He stated that he could not conceive how hard it would be to lose Kris. He was at a loss for words at how it must feel to lose a spouse. He will now have to face this in his life. It is hard and I wish him comfort and peace as he heals not only his body, but his soul with out his dear companion Kris.
