    Praying for you Rev. Dr. Charles Satterwhite and the family. God wrap you arms around this family and comfort them during this difficult time. I’m so sorry for the families loss.

    This was my brother. I am so saddened by this sudden loss. We are not promised a tomorrow but a Savior who died to save us. Through repentance God will make us one of His children please pray for my youngest sister Jackie McHenry she saw him only yesterday. David was on his way to see our brother Bobby.

    This is so incredibly upsetting! Hwy 29 is so dangerous and always has been! I travel this road often and I see all kinds of things from someone coming off a side road in Milino onto Hwy 29 going 50 and never even stopped or slowed down at the stop sign from the side road to the hwy. Just drove straight across to people driving on the wrong side of the road or sometimes people driving with no headlights! I have seen so many accidents lately between Cantonment and Flomation. I am praying for both sides of the families! This is such a tragedy, too many life’s have been lost over the years on that road but this is the 2nd fatality, I know of within a month on that stretch of road! I remember as a kid (before cell phones) every summer my mom would take me to Brewton from Milino, right when the sun was starting to come up so we could work on the farm with my grandparents. Every single morning we took that trip, we would see a wreck or someone driving down the wrong side of the road. I won’t allow my 17 year old son drive that stretch of 29 because of everything I seen on that road growing up! Please everyone, drive safe, pay attention to the road and watch out for others everywhere you go! I absolutely hate to hear an this!
