We've received some terrible news.

At about 11:30, we got a phone call from Sarah's Aunt Carol. She let us know that Sarah's dad and his wife Penny were in a severe car crash, and Sarah's dad died.

We're not sure what's going to happen right now; we're just trying to grasp everything. We'll post more information as it comes.
