Please pray for the Ritchie family

[David Kelly]

On Friday April 8th, Libby Ritchie and her two children, Ryan and Taylor, were involved in a very serious car accident. Scott was not in the car and met them the hospital. They are all being treated at Methodist hospital in Indianapolis.

They all sustained multiple injuries and Libby and Taylor will be spending some time in the hospital to care for their injuries. Ryan was released this afternoon.

Team 393, 234, and the Ritchie family will be going through some very rough times and they will be needing lots of prayers.


I will be going back to the hospital tomorrow so I will have an updated status on their condition.

[Amanda Morrison]

When David told me about this this morning, I was shocked.

Lib and Scott, we're all thinking about you guys. If there's anything at all that I can do, please let me know. Best of luck on Taylor's recovery... I know everything will work out fine. We're all rooting for you guys.

I'd like to send my most heartfelt prayers out to the Ritchie family and the teams that work with them. They aren't just members of FIRST, they are FIRST family...I hope they get well.

David, is there a place to send get well cards or other such things?

[Jay H 237]

David, sorry to hear about this. I'll pray for them and hope they heal quickly.

[Ryan Dognaux]

Thank God they're alright, I was so releaved to find out they were alive after only hearing that they had been in a car accident.

Please, take a moment and say a prayer for the Ritchie's. Thank you.

We all know that Scott was more than just another mentor in FIRST as we witnessed him win a regional Woodie Flowers award this year. I am wishing for the best for the whole family and those closely affected by thier actions and endeavors.

I will see the family tomorrow and I will find out where well wishes can be sent.

Although I've never met the Ritchie's personally, the one thing I do know about them is that they are fantastic people. David, send my best to the Ritchie's, they'll be in my prayers.

Its so hard to hear such news like this. I give my prayers to the family and hope they recover soon.

[David Hoff]

I just got back from spending around 3 hours at the hospital with Scott and Libby. They are all in great spirit and are doing well. Their daughter is continually improving as is Libby's pain. I'm sure they'll appreciate all of your concern and prayers.

Like Beth, I have never met the Ritchies personally but I have heard so many good things about the whole family. When Kyle told me about this today, I was just as shocked as everyone else. My prayers will go out to the entire family.

[Brant Bowen]

I just got back from the hospital and they are all doing fine. I am sure that they will appreciate all your support and prayers. I will let them know that their FIRST family is behind them when I go back and visit tommorow.
