On the evening of March 6, after spending the evening celebrating and singing at a birthday party with friends from their homeschool community, the three lovely ladies in this picture were struck head-on by an oncoming truck.
Melodi and Abi did not survive the accident. Shiloh was transported to Kalispell hospital and is recovering from a severely broken arm.
Anyone who knew Melodi will tell you her joy and kindness is what they remember. We in the homeschool group lovingly referred to her as our "happy hippy", and I think she completely related to that. She had the most generous soul, beautiful smile and welcoming heart. Her loss is felt by all who knew her, but most deeply by the family she leaves behind - Jeremy, Shiloh, Brisa and Luna, as well as their loving extended family.
Abi was an incredible soul. She was wise beyond her years, and when you met her, you could see her standing back and processing everything before she engaged. She was amazingly smart and incredibly gifted - in her Challenge B class, she took on the role of teaching her classmates the really tough concepts at their study groups. She just got it, and she was gifted enough at her age to be able to teach it, which is an amazing thing.
Abi was also gifted musically, as her mom and sisters were. Those who loved them loved seeing them gather together, singing and playing, usually songs of their own creation.
This world, this community and this family have lost some beautiful shining lights on this earth, but we take comfort in knowing they are now in the arms of Jesus. With an eternal perspective, we know this is not good-bye, but rather, "I'll see you later."
In the meantime, however, moving forward is hard, and we, the directors of the homeschool community they were a part of, want to coordinate to help take some of the financial burden off this family's shoulders, to help lighten the load. With planning, unexpectedly, for two funerals as well as medical costs, please, if you feel led, contribute anything you can. Anything above these costs will help with tuition for the girls for the coming year. And, if you cannot contribute financially, your prayers are deeply appreciated. Thank you for helping us surround this family with love and prayers.
