***Vote for Amber L. (http://www.mypigeonforge.com/savingvacations/Story/Page1)***

Ok guys, I usually wouldn't post something like this, but this one hits close to home... My cousin was killed Easter monday in a head on collision where a woman fell asleep at the wheel and crossed the double yellows. I went to NC for the funeral. The short version of this is, click this link, and vote for "Amber L. from Kanapolis, NC" This link should take you to page 1 of the nominees, sorted my number of votes. She should be towards the top. We need to keep her there. If you don't see her, click "Votes" and then "Sort" and she should be towards the top.

This is not about a vacation, despite the title of the sweepstakes. Winners for July get help with the mortgage for up to a year. That's what this is about. The vacation would just be a bonus.

Chris was an awesome man, that went through one hell of a rough time in his early years, and ended up being one of the most good hearted, loyal, devoted husbands/fathers I've EVER known. He had 3 kids he left behind with his wife Amber, and so far, they all share the same good spirit Chris had.

This is the link to an article by a local paper from his home town.
Chris Lewis Remembered (http://www.salisburypost.com/News/040810-Chris-Lewis-remembered)

Thank you in advance, for taking 5 seconds to do this. It means the world to me, as well as the rest of my family. You can vote once a day, so if you think about it in the days ahead, take a few seconds and vote again.


Thanks guys! :-)

Thank you guys so much. It means more than you will ever know.

She's been in this contest for 2 or 3 months, and won the smaller prizes, you had to be top 5 for them. She was first at least 1 month, but last month, she ended up 5th, barely squeaking in. The other peoples votes were jumping by LEAPS and BOUNDS. They're actually investigating that right now. I'm talking 500-1000 votes in less than half an hour. Unreal. So I decided to post it up here and a couple other places, hoping my car guys would help out.

It really was a tragic situation. It hit really close to home. He was literally everything I want to be as a father, husband, relative, and friend. The pastor said something repeatedly during the funeral when he spoke. It will forever be engraved in my mind.

"There will come a day..."

You NEVER know. NEVER. Don't take anything for granted in this life guys, you never know when your last breath could be, or the last breath of someone you care about. He and his sister had a falling out months before this, and she never called him to be the bigger person, and is tearing herself apart with all of this, still. It was over something stupid, and she never called to tell him she loved him, and to resolve the issue.

Hold your loved ones close. Don't ever let them go.
