A+CROSS AMERICA While taking long car trips, we passed many Crosses along the way and I would wonder who lost their life, how many people were affected and what was their story? Here are a few stories I can share. Years ago, my sister lost a good friend, Candy, in a car accident while in Seattle. She went on a trip and never returned. She was so young, as well as her husband and baby. I heard that he found out the exact location where she died and put a cross to mark the spot of her death. That was the first time I had ever heard of such a thing but thought it was a great tribute. That was over 40 years ago! On my first job, returning back to work after a long holiday weekend, I was told my boss died in a tragic accident while driving his sports car on a curvy road. Never to be seen again. Does he have a cross, I wonder? I lost my grandfather unexpectedly in a car accident on 79th and Harlem, Worth, IL due to a drunk driver. I hope to get the strength to put a cross there someday. Losing someone this way is very tragic indeed. Putting up a Cross has become iconic. I can only imagine the stories waiting to be told. I'd like this book to be a memorial for those who lost their lives in such a tragic way and as a healing connection for those they left behind.
