Dear Family, Friends, and all who know and love Lauren Hoover,
Most of you will have heard that our little girl, Lauren, was in a tragic auto accident on Wednesday, March 2, 2016. It was a snow blizzard and she was on the way to work a 7:30 in the morning when she lost control and hit an SUV head-on. She suffered sever head trauma as the car flipped at least twice. She has been unconscious ever since and now is in a medically induced coma to help facilitate healing. Currently, she is in Trauma-ICU at St. Anthony's in Lakewood. She is not allowed any visitors other than immediate family and we will post on caringbridge.org as hopefully there are signs of improvement. The neurosurgeon believes that there will undoubtedly be long-term effects and we will deal with those as they arise, but in the mean time, we are taking it moment by moment. We are trusting in God and we have been blessed by hundreds of people praying and outpouring their love and support. Pastor Al and Pastor Isam from our church, Calvary Worship Center, have driven up to be with us and we believe God has done a mighty work through all the petitions and prayers from everybody. We are overwhelmed and wish to thank each and every one of you who have come along side us and Lauren.

Please log on to caringbridge.org  (indicate Lauren Hoover) for updates and add your own comments if you so desire. Elise has also set up a gofundme.com account to help with finances. Again, we are in awe of the support for our daughter and thank God for all of you.

Jill and I are officially suspending all nightly activities for a while as we will need to continue working during the day and drive to Lauren's side every evening. We love you!

Banty and Jill
