Tragic weekend
Placeholder Image

Over the weekend there was more tragedy in our community than usual. A mother, a loving wife, was killed without warning in a tragic early-morning car accident. A young lady with her future ahead of her was forever hurt emotionally and physically in the same accident.

We have two families that will forever be entwined in pain and sorrow. We do not judge nor should anyone else, until this tragic case goes through the legal process.

We will and we hope our community can offer prayers for both families and we can only hope that the pain from this tragedy can be dulled to the point that we can go on fully understanding that we need to take every moment to love and respect our loved ones because in a split second our lives with them can be forever changed.

Our Thoughts: Remembering Nancy VanKleeck

The Covington News would like to take a moment to remember Mrs. Nancy VanKleeck. We became acquainted with her a few years back while she was asking for information about the jail log. She had a ministry in which she would write letters to inmates telling them about Jesus. She was able to write over 11,000 letters. She was a true woman of character. We will miss her.
