What a tragic situation...lightening strikes twice. May God give him and his family the strength to get through this situation. Wow.
Sometimes the words just aren't there, it takes a prayer. http://www.dothaneagle.com/gulfcoas...px.-content-articles-DEA-2007-11-20-0020.html A total of six people were killed in a two-vehicle accident late Monday night in Wicksburg, including five members of one family. The crash, which occured at the intersection of U.S. Highway 84 and Highway 123, resulted in the deaths of : - Adam W. Wayman, 29, of South Edgewood Drive in Dothan, who was driving a 1999 Ford truck. He died in the operating room at Flowers Hospital around 4 a.m. - Ellen Stacy, 36, of Newton. Died at the scene. - Lequisa Stacy, 18, of Newton. Died at the scene. - Sidney Stacy, 8, of Newton. Died at the scene. - Bronson Stacy, 10, of Newton. Died at the scene. - Ellie Stacy, 2, of Newton. Died at the scene. The five members of the Stacy family who were killed were riding in a 2007 Honda van driven by 39-year-old Siran Stacy. He and Shelly Stacy, 4, survived the crash. Shelly was taken to Flowers Hospital after the crash and later airlifted to Children's Hospital in Birmingham where she is listed in serious condition. Siran Stacy is at Flowers Hospital in guarded condition. According to Houston County Coroner Robert Byrd, Wayman was driving west in the eastbound lanes of Highway 84 from at least Brannon Stand Road to the intersection of Highway 123, where the crash occured. The Stacy family was driving north through the intersection when Wayman's truck hit the passenger side of their van. The Stacys live about two miles from the scene of the accident and were apparently heading towards their home. Siran Stacy was a running back who played for the University of Alabama from 1989-1991 and later played for one year in 1992 for the Philadelphia Eagles. All five children in the mini-van are Siran Stacy's children, according to Houston County Coronoer Robert Byrd. Ellen Stacy was Siran's wife. Today would have been Lequisa Stacy's 19th birthday.

D, I received a link in my email a few minutes ago about some Auburn fans wanting to have a charity drive in regards to this...classy move on your fan base.
Just reading about that accident made me feel sick. I hurt for Siran and his remaining daughter. I pray that at least she survives; I don't know how he'll be able to sustain himself with such a massive loss. About two years ago, up here in Dallas, a woman was killed with her three sons on the way back from Christmas shopping when an 18-wheeler hit their car. I still can't imagine how her husband/their father could manage that amount of grief.
Couple of guys are true friends of his and go to church with him. Said many a time he isn't the same man you knew at school. He is someone they are very proud to call friend. I did not know him, but this is devastating news.
If you know them, send them my regards. And, they are right. He isn't the same guy he was when he was playing ball. I couldn't begin to recite the stories I've heard about the impact he's had on troubled young kids. It's hit a lot of people really, really hard.
My heart and prayers go out to each and everyone involved in this tragedy. I did not know them, but this makes me very sad. Very sad indeed.
