You're welcome, Martha. Now I have a request. I just found out yesterday that one of my friend's sons was killed when he and his twin brother were run over by a Hummer in Lynn, Ma. Dillon and Riley used to go to the same church I went to. Riley survived, Dillon did not. They donated his organs. If you could pray for the McManus family, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks Heather. I spoke with Riley today on the net. He's feeling really cruddy. He knows his brother is dead and is having a hard time with it. Understandably so. He's also doing rehab. He has a broken pelvis, hip, one broken rib and he had a collapsed lung. He as a little brain injury too but it was cool that he was talking back and forth with me on Facebook. A bunch of people who play Magic The Gathering are doing a fundraiser for the family and people are coming from as far away as New York. Things are being donated to raffle off and it's just amazing the support they have.

That is beautiful. I love to hear the miracles and uplifting spirits that come together after a tragedy. This world is full of crazy dysfunctional. Keep close with Riley during this very struggling trial in life. He is just to young to go through this alone. I am praying to the spirits that ya'll have a healthy recovery. No matter how long it takes, but keep Riley's brother in your hearts and spirits and he will too live on. *Loves*

Author: Heidi [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Tuesday, October 02, 04:02:26pm Hi Marie, thanks for the reminder. I talked to Gerry last night, Riley's father. It was nice to hear from him. I've been worried about Colleen. As Dillon's mom, this has to be so hard on her. I asked Gerry to tell her that I have been praying for her. The house must be so quiet. I can't imagine what, as a mom she has been going through.

Hi Heather. I hope you are well. I spoke with Riley on the phone the other day. He has some brain injury so I had to tell him where he knew me from but once we got past that, he was okay. Although he said to me "Dillon's dead." I told him I knew and asked him how he was dealing with that. I'm going to make him some brownies. I know you don't know him but if you want to check out how he is doing, you can go to caringbridge.org and look up Dillon and Riley McManus. If you want to leave a note, that would encourage him, I'm sure. He is going to be out of the rehab sooner than was thought. Three months got shortened to three weeks. Which is a miracle!
