Big Island Toddler Dies... - Anna - 03-17-2013
Hi all,
Sadly, the toddler that died in this accident was the child of my son and his wife - Neal Woodworth and Kayanna Matau Woodworth of Hilo, just married two weeks ago today.
A bit contrary to the news report, Treston was in the truck when his Grandfather, Kayanna's Father, were getting ready to leave a neighbor's house after assisting with some minor house repairs. (Not sure "playing" in the truck accurately describes what happened)

The truck started to roll when Treston (barely 3 years old) jumped out then fell under the truck while his Grandfather looked on helpless to save him. This is such a heart-breaking and tragic event for our families. Prayers, love and light and whatever positive affirmation you believe in that can be sent is Greatly appreciated.
I'm also posting a link to a fundraiser I've started to offset the expenses for funeral/burial arrangements since we all put everything into the wedding - not counting on a funeral to follow.

Please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers this next week. The County Coroner won't be in until Tuesday and we have no idea when we can expect to plan the funeral date until after mid-week.
I will post details so those of you interested will know the arrangements.
Mahalo,
Anna

Thank you, Julie. It's one of those freak accidents that happens in seconds and can't be imagined. Everyone I notified in the family, like myself when my son called, asked "What???!!!" a few times for it to sink in...
