A friend of mine that I work with was just walking out his door yesterday afternoon when two State Troopers pulled up in his drive to tell him his daughter was killed in a traffic accident. She was a bright 19 year old Kent State attendee on her way home to visit her father for a week over spring break. She was hit in the drivers side by a guy who loss control of his big cargo van as she was leaving the rest stop on I-71 on the south bound side near the Jeffersonville Outlet Mall. He was heading north when he tried reaching for his cell phone charger and loss control and crossed over the median and all 3 southbound lanes and grassy area before striking her vehicle. The story is in todays Columbus Dispatch and on the 10tv website. This really hit home for me because I often ride into work with him and we always talk about our girls. He had one daughter and one step daughter and I have two as well. Rachael, the one who was killed, was his LIFE, his pride and joy! He was proud of the fact she was going to KS to become a teacher for handicapped children. Now his baby is gone! I was like numb zombie at work this evening worried about my friend and how he is going to get through this. I called my wife and talked to my girls(like I always do) but tonight it was different. I was hanging on their every word, soaking it all in, as if nothing else matters. Please send your thoughts and prayers to my friend Don(Woody) Woodruff and may you and your families be safe tonight and everynight. Rest In Peace Rachael
