There was terrible news of a bus crash in Sherman, Texas early this morning. A charter bus carrying 55 people from Houston to Carthage, Mo. for a religious celebration ran off the road and into a ravine near Sherman, killing at least 13 of its passengers. Numerous other passengers were taken to various area hospitals. Most of the passengers were members of the Vietnamese Martyrs Church in Houston, and they were headed to Marian Days, a religious festival that reportedly celebrates the virgin Mary and Vietnamese culture. The early reports are that a blown tire might have been the cause of the crash.

If you would like to disucss whether you need a living trust, please consult an attorney.
