    After long days of running back and forth between two hospitals, Claudia Goodman is exhausted but appreciates the all the love, prayers and phone calls she has received from friends and caring members of the community, said family friend Judy Folga of Colorado.

    Sunday night, three of Goodman’s children’s died in an automobile accident on 11400 South and 700 East in Draper. Her daughter Andrea, 15, is on life support with no change in her condition. Her husband, Steven, is expected to be out of the intensive care unit today, according to Folga. Both are at the LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City. Aimee, 8, is also on life support with no change at the Primary Children’s Hospital.

    The musically talented, 14-member Goodman family returned last month from a trip to Italy where they sang “I Am a Child of God” in Italian for Pope John Paul II and the family’s CD, “Fortress of Love,” will be released in January.

    A funeral for David, 12, Peter, 11, and LeAnne, 10, will be held at the stake center on 1090 S. 1700 East in Sandy on Saturday at 9:30 a.m. There will be a viewing at the Larken Sunset Memorial Gardens at 1060 S. 1700 East in Sandy on Friday from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

    Donations can be made to the Steven Goodman Family at any First Interstate branch office statewide.
