I know she isn't on CS, but I know how loving our group is and she can use all the extra prayers.

Jennifer Porter, signed May 2011 was notified last night that her son Jeremy was killed in a car accident. He and some friends had gone out of town and were headed home. They think he fell asleep and hit a tree. 1 other person in the car was also killed.

Jennifer is a single Mom. Her son Jeremy would have been a sophomore at Mizzou this fall.

Please keep her in your prayers. She also has a younger son.
