After stopping for fuel, the crew had lunch in Nebraska City before getting back on the plane. The only survivor of the Nelons, Autumn Nelon Streetman, has confirmed the terrible news in a statement.
She thanked everyone for their overwhelming support, saying: It has been widely reported that an aircraft disaster on Friday claimed the lives of my parents, Jason and Kelly Nelon Clark, my sister Amber, my brother-in-law Nathan, our good friends Melodi Hodges, Larry, and Melissa Haynie, among others.
My husband Jamie and I, our unborn kid, and Jason’s parents, Dan and Linda Clark, have been in your prayers, and I am grateful.
Your unwavering love, prayers, and support would be much appreciated as we face the challenges ahead.
There was a terrible aircraft accident on Friday afternoon involving the Nelons, one of the most beloved gospel music families in America.
