It is so true !!! In the blink of an eye a life can change dramatically. On Thanksgiving Eve at 6PM (following sunset) a young mother was driving home with her two young children from family festivities. The unthinkable happened when a large Black Bear entered the the road from the side and collided with the vehicle killing the mother and a ninteen month old girl. A four year old boy was in the back seat and sustained minor injuries. The impact was so intense that the bear ended up in the vehicle front seat ! The bear was severely injured and died . This tragedy happened about ten minutes drive from my home.

Reportedly, there have been many more bears in our foothills lately. It seems like the newspaper reports a sighting every couple weeks or so . Following all our forest fires the last few years and the Clearcut Logging of our forests the wild animals are coming out of the forest for water and food.
This little family is well known in our community and is receiving an outpouring of support, love and prayers . A GoFundMe memorial account has been started with a goal of 40 thousand. In the last three days, 283 caring people have donated $17,395.00.
