Autumn Nelon Streetman is opening up about a terrible tragedy.
One day after her mom Kelly Nelon Clark, stepdad Jason Clark, sister Amber Kistler and four others were killed in a private plane crash, Autumn—who is pregnant with her and husband Jamie Streetman’s baby boy—shared a note of gratitude with fans of their family’s gospel group The Nelons.
“Thank you for the prayers that have been extended already to me, my husband, Jamie, and our soon-to-be-born baby boy, as well as Jason’s parents, Dan and Linda Clark,” Autumn said in a July 27 statement. “We appreciate your continued prayers, love and support as we navigate the coming days.”
Kelly, 64, Jason and Amber, 35, alongside Amber’s husband Nathan Kistler, 34, band assistant Melodi Hodges, pilot Larry Haynie and his wife Melissa Haynie were killed July 26 after their plane crashed in a remote area of Wyoming.
Autumn—who is in the third trimester of her pregnancy—and her husband Jamie Streetman had arrived separately in Seattle to board the Gaither Homecoming Cruise to Alaska for a family performance.
