Tragedy

Please pray for the Hinkle and Harbin families tonight. There was an accident tonight that killed two very loved men in our community. 

Andy Hinkle was a new young father. His son is less than a month old. His wife was in the car also, but survived. I can't imagine how difficult this time will be for her.

Mr. Harbin was the father of a young man who attends church with my husband's family. His son, Will, is engaged to be married in July. 

I don't know details of the accident except it was a head-on collision on a rural county road.

This will be one of the hardest things these families ever have to deal with, and I know the only way they will get through it is putting their faith and worries in the hands of the Lord. I pray God shines down Andy's wife, Corie, and baby Price. She will need peace and guidance during this time as she prepares to raise her son alone. I can not imagine her pain.

  1. These families and your community are in my prayers. I work for 911 in my town and these are the hardest calls for me to do deal with sometimes. Every time I get a call, I just start praying instantly for whoever is on the other line.

  4. I know it is awful Leanne. I didn't personally know either of them, but I know it has hurt so many people. Morgan's mom and dad go to church at Marion St with Will's fiance. I heard they are supposed to get married in July. I can't imagine what either of the families are going through.
