quiltingnanny Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 My nephew was in a plane crash Thurs. near California City. He's very lucky that he was able to eject. It was an Air Force jet. I called Linda [ Ramona-Quilter] for help in getting him a quilt. I knew I couldn't get him one in less than a week, probably more. She so sweetly said she had one and would take it to him. Now, that's one sweet lady !! He is stable and is being flown to San Diego Navy Hosp. on Tues. Please keep him in your prayers as well as his family ! Thank you Linda for being my lifeline !! Aren't quilters just the best ? Glenda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennan100 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Blessings to you, Linda! That is such a sweet thiing to do. I can only imagine the warm feelings that young man had realizing that his family found an angel to send with a quilt for him! The incident will be unforgettable, but the kindness of a stranger will be attached as a lasting memory to go with it. I'll be praying for a swift recovery for your nephew Glenda, ejecting is a tremendous strain on the body, I'm soo glad he got out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffq-lar Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 I love this--we all are connected in so many ways! Linda Card is so generous. It is a gift that warms the heart of the giver, but will shine for years for the recipient, remembering as the trauma fades that there was someone kind enough to wrap them in a quilty hug.

quiltingnanny Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Lee seems to be holding his own. They have done surgery twice on his left arm and put a rod in his right leg. So lucky that he didn't have any internal injuries ! He is supposed to be moved to the San Diego Navy hosp. today. Linda said she would go see him tomorrow and give me a 'live' report. Please keep him in your prayers that he continues to improve ! Thanks to all my 'quilty' friends for lifting him up in prayer !! Glenda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mswings Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Glenda, sending prayers to your nephew and the pilots family. What a blessing Linda Card is. I was fortunate to get to meet her at MQS. She is a real sweeheart. Hope your nephews injuries heal quickly. Please thank him for serving his country for me. These brave men and women provide us our freedom at a very high price. Their sacrifice should never be forgotten. Freedom is not free. Virginia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When hubby was on active duty we were stationed with Harrier squadrons and those pilots do amazing things! God bless him for serving our country! Prayers for those lost as well.
