I lost my Nathan Allen Clark on dec 10th 2004..he was only 23 when he got in an auto accident.Us being a newly wed couple I couldn’t understand why this had happened. When I read your story and how many similar things I had to let you know. His mothers name is Kathy and he has a sister name Jennifer..its really weird. My thoughts and prayers are with Nathans wife during this difficult time.
