Grandpa dies on hearing 7 children killed in fiery wreck

This story really has nothing to do with GC, but I thought it was very sad. Not only did 7 children die a horrible death, but their grandfather (upon hearing the news of their demise) had a massive heart attack and died.

This lady has not only lost her kids (all of whom she adopted) but her father too. I can't imagine what she is feeling right now but I'm sure she could use your prayers, good vibes or thoughts.

LAKE BUTLER, Florida (CNN) -- News of a crash in which seven children perished so upset their grandfather that he had a massive heart attack and died, the children's mother said.

"I lost my daddy tonight," Barbara Mann said Wednesday. "My dad died of a massive heart attack tonight over all this. He lost all seven of his grandkids ... I can't deal with this."

William Scott, who was 62, The Associated Press reported, died at his home. (Watch as news of the deaths proved to be unbearable -- 1:18)

Alvin Wilkerson, 32, of Jacksonville, Florida, has been identified as the driver of the tractor-trailer which plowed into the children's car near Gainesville, Florida, Wednesday. The impact caused the car to slam into the rear of a school bus that had stopped to let children off.
