'Family Was Everything to Them,' Says Friend of Missouri Parents Killed in Car Crash During First Disney World Vacation
Friends and coworkers of Greg and Sarah Moyers, the Missouri couple that died while driving home from Disney World with their two young daughters on Sunday, remember the parents as "selfless and kind and completely devoted to their children."
After spending several days on a dream vacation to Florida's Disney World and Universal Studios, the family of four was driving to the beach when a vehicle drifted into their lane. The car forced them off the road, causing the family to smash into a tree.
The impact killed Greg and Sarah, and sent their daughters Hailey, 13, and Sophia, 8, to the hospital with severe injuries. Orlando Health hospital tells PEOPLE that "Hailey is listed in critical condition and Sophia is listed in stable condition."
The family's small town of Leadwood, Missouri, has banded together as they "grieve and pray" for the family – community members are collecting donations at the local McDonald's where Sarah was a general manager and setting up prayer groups while Hailey and Sophia remain in the hospital.

Sarah's assistant manager, Rachel Rawson, says her boss was "more like a mom than a coworker" to her employees.
"She was our friend and she was like family to us here at McDonald's," Rawson tells PEOPLE. "We are devastated, and we are grieving. We decided to collect funds to give to the girls since they no longer have parents."
She adds, "Sarah was the type of person that when I came back from maternity leave she had a pizza waiting for me. Just a genuine, kind human. This is the least we could do for her kids."
Greg's auto shop, Moyers Muffler, remains closed.

Close family friend Jason Nash started a GoFundMe page for the sisters as they prepare to "take on life without the two people that loved them the most."
"Greg and Sarah were two of the most giving people you could've ever meet. They welcomed everyone into their home and within minutes of talking to either of them you knew that they genuinely would do anything to help," writes Jason Nash on the site.
"Family was everything to them."
