"Thank you God she's ok. Angels of mercy watched over my mom as she was in a car crash late last night. She'll survive and continue to get evaluated," he said. "This woman has survived lung cancer, tough marriage, head on collision with a drunk driver and attempted suicide. She's a survivor, in ways that make angels and miracles real."
