A Louisiana family is grieving but seeking to rally behind a four-year-old boy whose mother was recently killed in a car crash – and whose father then died in a separate vehicle wreck while trying to get to her.
Gabriel, the son of Alexus Lee and John “JR” Collins, “understands what happened”, his paternal grandmother, Sandra Collins, told the Louisiana news station WAFB. “And he’s just having a little problem comprehending that we can’t talk to [his parents]. We can’t see them, but he understands that they are asleep and are with God.”
