Exclamation Fellow TPF'er needs your prayers.... - 07-31-2007, 04:56 PM


I would like to ask that you guys keep Marco and his family in your prayers...

Marco left last night's Houston get together early in order to drive down to Matamoros because his parents had been in a car accident while on they're way back to Houston from visiting other family.

I just got off the phone with Marco and his father is currently in ICU and his younger brother has sustained several broken bones but is stable. Unfortunately.... Marco's Mother, Grandmother and another woman passenger did not make it..

I sure none of us can even comprehend what Marco and his family are going through right now but I know that through our sentiments and prayers we can help him in some small way...

It's times like these that really make us realize what we do take for granted day in and day out without even noticing it.... Be sure to hug your loves ones this evening and please keep Marco and his family in your thoughts and prayers during this very challenging time....

Marco my friend... we are here for you....



==================================
UPDATE:
==================================

Ive gotten many PMs asking if we were planning on setting up a fund in order to help Marco and his family financially during this tough time.

What I am doing is accepting Paypal Donations from anyone willing to make a contribution to Marco's Family Fund.

In order to Donate, please click the Donate link which is located in the QUICK LINKS pull down menu in the navbar above.

Thank you all...

Marco, I am so, so sorry to hear this, and you and your family are definitely in my prayers! I hope your other family members make a quick recovery. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask. You were there for me a long time ago, and I am here for you now.
