In Honor Of Ashli & Lorelei

As many of you may have viewed on social media or on the local news. A tragic car accident occurred on the evening of Saturday, April 9, 2016. The fatality accident involved two totaled vehicles in a head on collision. Inside each car a mother and young daughter have been called Home to Heaven by their creator. There are so many families and friends left in devastation after this horrific accident. My sister in law, Ashli Anne Morgan, 26 and my niece, Lorelei Karen Cotter, 4 were two of the four beautiful souls called to Heaven on Saturday evening. They leave behind many broken hearts. My brother, Nick Cotter, is the husband of Ashli and father of Lorelei. Ashli and Nick had been together 11 years. They'd been through so many ups and downs together. Through it all they stood by each other and lifted each other up. They learned and grew so much through their experiences. To say the least, I was proud of who they had become and what they had done with their lives. Lorelei was their greatest accomplishment. Everything they did was for her and it showed. They started a beautiful family, set goals and worked hard towards meeting them. They had dreams, hopes and aspirations for their future together. With heavy hearts we realize we'll never witness those dreams come true. My brother Nick is broken and lost. He is a 30 year old widower who has lost his only child. Ashli and Lorelei were his world. Ashli was the social light, the decision maker, the leader and the glue that kept the family together. Lorelei gave our family hope when we needed it the most. She was a bright shining star and lit up every room she entered. Lorelei never knew a stranger and loved to make everyone laugh. Her smile and laugh was contagious. She gave the best hugs, kisses and snuggles. My brothers world is gone and his heart has been ripped out and torn to pieces. Please keep my brother, the families and friends involved in this tragedy in your thoughts and prayers. All of your prayers will be deeply appreciated. Since they were such a young family just starting out they didn't have much planned or saved for a tragedy like this. Any donation possible would be so greatly appreciated. You never imagine having to grieve losing your whole family at once on top of trying to come up with finances to honor their lives and get through this difficult time. Thank you all in advance for all the thoughts, prayers and any donations you are able to contribute.
