Sarah...Jeff is working on that Bridge...
The phone rang as I was watching the TV in horror and my brother said "Sarah, Jeff is working on that bridge"...as he said it, Jeff's white … read more pickup flashed on the screen. My entire world stopped and I thought of his expectant wife and their newborn daughter. The flattened pieces of the bridge spanned across my screen and I thought "there is NO way that he's making it" and David said "Sarah, it's Jeff. He'll be ok. ITS JEFF Sarah. He'll be ok" We received word much later that evening that Jeff, one of the construction workers, was at a hospital and had made it ok. One of his close friends and co-workers had not been so fortunate. My world stopped for several hours that night and I still keep all of those victims and survivors in my prayers as I remember those frantic hours and the days and weeks following. We are so fortunate that our personal story had the ending it did.
