Mom lost 3 children in car crash, then had triplets – now she’s been diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer

Lori Coble and her husband faced the unimaginable loss of their three children in a tragic traffic accident. They leaned on each other for support during this heart-wrenching time, and years later welcomed a new set of triplets through IVF. Now, Lori has shared the devastating news of her diagnosis with Stage 4 brain cancer.

In May 2007, Lori Coble and her husband, Chris, went through a tragedy that no one should ever have to face. On May 4, while they were stopped in traffic on the freeway, a large truck crashed into the back of their minivan.

Inside the vehicle were Lori and Chris’ three children – 5-year-old Kyle Christopher, 4-year-old Emma Lynn, and 2-year-old Katie Gene. Tragically, none of the children survived the accident, and their lives were forever changed.

The children were taken to separate hospitals, and Lori sustained injuries as well. Emma and Katie passed away before Lori regained consciousness. Chris hurried Lori to the hospital where Kyle was being treated, but sadly, it was too late.

In an interview with Oprah, Chris recalled, “She’s climbing out of the wheelchair the best she can to hug Kyle and saying: ‘He’s got to go be with his sisters now. His sisters are waiting for him.”
