I am not abandoned~   Our daughter's quote

 

Our precious daughter died a senseless death.  She was driving on I-95 in her Ford Explorer SUV when her (balanced and rotated that very morning by friends who run a wonderful business) COOPER right rear tire tread simply peeled off her vehicle, wrapping around her axel and throwing her into the guardrail at mile marker 98 in Savannah GA.  She was on her way to surprise her fiance' as she was moving to VA.  Had we known what we know now about Cooper tires, she would have never had them on her vehicle.  Emily's vehicle hit the left side of the guardrail throwing her SUV on its rooftop landing her into on-coming traffic.  Thankfully nobody else was killed.  She was in her seatbelt and going the speed limit.  She died of severe head trauma.

 

She leaves behind her mom and dad, four siblings, many extended family members and her fiance'.  What a crying shame- and SHAME ON YOU COOPER TIRE COMPANY FOR MAKING DEADLY TIRES BECAUSE YOU'RE SO CHEAP.  HOW DO YOU ALL SLEEP AT NIGHT!?  We are making sure and getting the word out to everyone we possibly know... and it's not over yet!

 

COOPER TIRES COME UNDER DIFFERENT NAMES!!!

First let me share that there are 4 different names that you may not know about with Cooper Tires:  Mastercraft, Futura, Discoverer *Emily had that one* and Trendsetter.  It is VERY important to look at your tires and check your DOT 's on them if you have those named tires:  The DOT's are U-9, 3-D, U-T *Emily had that one* and U-P.  Our other daughter just purchased a used car.  We found out they had cooper tires on them under Mastercraft.  We took them off and cut one up to see that there is absolutely NO WEDGE in those tires either... another death tire!!!!  So, do yourself a favor and check your tires, get new ones and save your loved ones!!!  THIS VIDEO BELOW WILL GIVE YOU THE STORY-

seeing you at the hospital

Mom Feb 08, 2008

was the hardest thing in my life. you never think it's going to happen to you or your family, and it does. how appreciative we were to have so many people helping you out, the fire / rescue crews- motorists who called, and helped her out, prayed over her, nurses who cared so much, and even a police officer who shared how much she cared with concern. we could not have pulled together if it were not for those people. for all the people who prayed, called, sent notes, emails, and flowers, food and gifts, (photos, books, etc.) you have no idea how much that meant to us! though we don't understand so many things life dishes out- we do know that emily is with the Lord forever! absent from the body, present with the Lord- she's alive, dancing, singing, rejoicing! we will be with her again! that is what the bible promises! emily, you are still so missed and we love you dearly! what a precious addition you were to our lives and we were so blessed to have had you 23 years! forever, mom

My sweet daughter Emily. You will never know how much we miss you each and every day. Our lives have changed forever. Mom, Sarah, Laura, Julie, Wesley and myself long to be with you. It is so hard to understand God sometimes, but we have that joy in knowing we will see you again in glory. We look forward to that day to see you and King Jesus.
Thank you for living and seeking to please our Lord Jesus, thank you for taking time to listen and be a friend and just be a all around special daughter.
I Love and Miss You, and words cannot explain my grief, sorrow and pain I feel over losing you.
We have claimed Is 1:17 for you, we are "seeking justice" on your behalf and pray changes will be made in the design of Cooper tires to stop tread seperation. Lord willing this will save many other families from going through what we are now. God will be glorified in your death, as he was so much in your life.

Love Daddy xo
