[ESF] Eldridge Services

[Harold Comings]

Good Morning ESFers and All,
 
Here is some more information concerning the Eldridge family.
 
Dad and Mom - Peter Eldridge Sr., and Tammy. Tammy is the one who was killed
in the auto accident. The accident occured on Route 26 between Endicott and
Whitney Point. Peter lost control of the car on a curve and it slid into the
path of an oncoming van. The van struck the car on the passenger side. It is
felt that Tammy went to be with the Lord instantly.
 
There are three children. A daughter (21). Two sons - Peter Jr. (18) who is
the Senior at CCA, and Cody whose 15th birthday was on Sunday, the day after
the accident. 
 
Tammy's maiden name was Price. She is from the Jasper, NY area and has two
brothers who work for the Family Life Network in Bath, NY.
 
Peter Sr.'s mother, Sharon, was an Estes. She is sister to Debbie Perry
whose husband, Vic, has been the pastor at East Lawrence Baptist Church for
m-a-n-y years. Judy and I enjoyed good fellowship with them when we were in
the Addison area. Sharon's father was the late Ernest Estes who was serving
as pastor of the Borden Baptist church in the Addison area when he went home
to be with the Lord several years ago.
 
Peter Jr., was able to stop by the school yesterday. His Senior Class and
the faculty and staff rallied around him with expressions of concern. He's
going to do okay, but he needs a lot of prayer as he deals with all of the
stuff that gets thrown into the soul of a teenager when a parent dies.
(Actually, I think it's not just something which happens to children or
teens.) Pray much for Pastor Matt at Faith. This has been a very strenuous
several days for him. We are all grateful for the role which Pastor Dave
(the youth pastor at Faith) and I am grateful for the work-companionsship of
our own youth pastor (Nate) who has been a part of our team here investing
in young Peter's life.
 
Peter Sr. is now off the breathing apparatus and showing good indications of
successfully coming out of this trauma. I believe that he was still listed
as critical as of last night, but he is progressing well. Funeral
arrangements are pending his ability to work through the matters necessary
to make arrangements. In the meantime...
 
A pre-funeral Memorial service is being held for folks in the Jasper / Bath
area and any others who wish to attend. The information is as follows:



A Memorial Service For Tammy J. Eldridge will be held Saturday at 1PM at
Boyds Corners Bible Church that is located at the intersection of CR-21 and
CR-123 (Boyd's Corners Rd.) in Cameron, NY.  It is about a 2 hour drive from
Cortland.  
 

If you would like more precise directions to the church you might contact
Pastor L D Maxson at Tuscarora Baptist (ldmaxson at juno.com). Judy and I have
been away too long to trust our memories as to what the route looks like. 
 
Keep on praying.
 
Harold
