Mrs. Lou Williams began working with Mountain Rentals of Gatlinburg in 1985 as the reservations manager, a position she held for over 15 years. After leaving that position (her sister Vanessa took over the department) Lou began cleaning cabins, a job she still does superbly today along with her brother Robert. Lou is not only an employee, but a member of the Mountain Rentals family and a friend who always has a smile to offer and a kind word on the toughest of days.

On Friday, February 18th, 2011 she was involved in a head on collision on her way home from work on Hwy 321. She was first hit head on by the initial vehicle and then on the driver's side by another. She had to be cut out of the vehicle by the jaws-of-life and air lifted to the hospital. She suffered severe injuries including a broken clavicle, broken wrist, broken ribs and a fractured pelvis to name a few. While in the hospital she also had other medical issues arise from these injuries and spent days in the ICU. She has already undergone surgery for her pelvis and will continue her recovery while requiring 6-12 weeks of rehabilitation.

Her health insurance is not covering the largest portion of the medical care she has received and will receive in the coming months. Lou and her family have been friends and employees of the company and greatly contributed to all of our successes and guests enjoyment of their vacations. We would appreciate any contribution to assist her financially, so she can concentrate on healing.

Please keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers as they face this difficult challenge.
