“My daughter was sitting on a chair next to me on a small beach towel next to me in the small pool in the yard, and I heard a branch of a tree break and it happened so fast,” Foster said in an interview at CBN News Facebook. shows Prayerlink.
She explained, “It was like a nine-foot, 90-pound branch and it basically fell off and went through the head right in front of me and instantly killed it.”
