Chester Mills was supposed to bury his wife in Indiana earlier this week.

But while two of his children were driving from Georgia to attend their stepmother's funeral, their car spun out on a snowy highway and was broadsided by an oncoming tractor-trailer. The crash killed them and a friend who was driving the car.

Now Mills is left dealing with more impossible loss.

"It's a difficult day," Rev. Rodney Coffman told AOL News during a brief telephone interview, as he traveled this morning from the funeral to the cemetery where Amber Mills was being buried.

Mills, 43, died at her home in Waveland Monday morning after a battle with lung cancer. Her funeral, scheduled to be held Thursday -- the day of the accident -- was postponed until today, Coffman said.

Logan Mills, 21, and Amanda Mills, 25, died in the crash along with Anthony Suggs, 25, of Ruskin, Fla. Suggs apparently lost control of the car on the snow-covered road, causing it to spin into the northbound lane of State Road 47 into the path of the truck. The car tumbled into a ravine and the truck landed on top of it.
