<\/p>\nThe sole surviving member of the Nelons released a heartfelt statement regarding the tragic deaths of her family members.<\/p>\n
A plane carrying the Nelons, a beloved gospel family in the United States, crashed, killing everyone on board.<\/p>\n
The horrific accident claimed seven lives, including Jason and Kelly Nelon Clark, their daughter Amber, and their son-in-law Nathan Kistler. Also among the deceased were Melanie Hodges, a family employee, and Larry Haynie, the pilot, along with his wife, Melissa.<\/p>\n
Autumn Nelon Streetman, the only remaining member of the group, was not on the plane at the time.<\/p>\n
The plane crashed over Wyoming while the group was en route to Alaska to join the Gaither Homecoming Cruise. Witnesses reported that the plane erupted in flames upon impact, prompting firefighters and emergency workers to rush to the scene as a wildfire broke out.<\/p>\n

She extended her gratitude for the support received: \u201cThank you for the prayers that have already been said for me, my husband Jamie, our soon-to-be-born son, and Jason\u2019s parents, Dan and Linda Clark.
